The journal is fundamentally dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of ethical behavior across all active layers of our chemical sciences tracking network. Published on a continuous bi-annual loop, the journal aligns its publication standards strictly with the code of conduct rules set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Preventing publishing malpractice, defending molecular originality, and ensuring complete assessment fairness are core pillars expected from all collaborating components: Authors, Peer Reviewers, Editorial Board Members, and the Publisher. Any systemic infraction involving empirical data manipulation, polymeric structural fabrication, or hidden text duplication will result in an immediate administrative block.
Core Ethical Duties & Commitments
To preserve chemical indexing trust and protect modern molecular scholarship, all active editorial components are bound by the following performance criteria:
| Duties of Editors | Editors evaluate submitted manuscripts solely based on empirical depth, structural synthesis originality, and chemical scope relevance. They maintain absolute blind confidentiality, manage conflicts of interest transparently, and launch systemic inquiries if ethical complaints are filed against an active manuscript. |
| Duties of Reviewers | Reviewers deliver timely, critical peer assessments to support editorial selection decisions. They must treat all assigned files as highly confidential assets, declare competing personal or institutional interests, and alert the chief editor immediately if data overlapping or source fabrication is suspected across chemical tracking models. |
| Duties of Authors | Authors must present an accurate account of original chemical research performed alongside comprehensive replication protocols. They explicitly guarantee that the manuscript is not under evaluation or published elsewhere and that all listed co-authors have verified and formally approved the final text package. |
Misconduct & Plagiarism Regulations
- Text Replication: Passing off the scholarly research, catalytic modeling architectures, or synthetic diagrams of others as your own is a severe violation. All scripts undergo systematic verification checks.
- Data Fabrication: Falsifying chemical processing metrics, manipulating characterization layouts (NMR, FTIR, MS), or altering experiment parameters will trigger immediate manuscript disqualification.
- AI Content Integrity: Generative text engines must not be used to create primary empirical discoveries or molecular outcomes. Any AI assistance in text optimization must be clearly disclosed.
Handling Publishing Malpractice
- Pre-Publication: If metadata anomalies or data configuration violations are verified during the evaluation phase, the manuscript will be rejected immediately, and institutional laboratory directors may be notified.
- Post-Publication: If severe ethical breaches or errors are discovered after an article goes live online, a formal Correction Note or an official Article Retraction will be processed instantly.
- Sanction Triggers: Research networks or authors found to be systematically violating core ethical frameworks may face a temporary ban on future portal submissions.
Originality, Concurrent Submissions, and Referencing Integrity
Authors must formally guarantee that their chemical sciences manuscripts represent entirely unique research. Submitting a single strategic draft to multiple international journals simultaneously constitutes highly unethical publishing behavior and is completely unacceptable under our bi-annual processing track. If an author has adapted historical methodology configurations, chemical processing systems, or standard data benchmarks, these components must be explicitly cited and referenced in the text block.
Important Note
The journal reserves the absolute right to reject any incoming work or retract published documents that do not align with this Publication Ethics & Malpractice Statement. All structural decisions made by the Chief Editor and the ethical review panel are final.
