Science Park publisher editorial policy

Science Park Publisher is a multidisciplinary research area of science, technology, medical, providing open-access publishing to avoid the restrictions of others. Science park publisher is guided by the policies that are carried out by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), Therefore, the authors should carefully and accurately introduce their results, content, and conclusion to help other researchers and develop ideas for advanced science and technology.  

Affiliation

The authors must clearly state their affiliations to clarify the institution and academic position of the researcher.  The affiliation approves and supports the location of scholarly work of the published research. If you moved to another institution during the publication process, you should update the workplace of the published article and note your current affiliation.

  • The full name of the institution.
  • Department or organizational unit (if applicable).
  • Country and region.

For collaborations, all participating institutions should be clearly mentioned, reflecting the collaborative nature of the research.

Authorship

All persons who contributed to the scientific research should be listed as authors and mention their affiliation, if there are other individual contributors, you could mention them in the acknowledgment and write their roles and responsibilities to complete the article. Crediting the significant author who worked in the research is one of the most important processes of writing the article and reflects the honesty and transparency of coworkers in data analysis, editing, experimental work, designing, interpretation, comparative study, and other relative areas. They are responsible of reviewing and editing the final version before submission and answering any major or minor comments with solutions after the review stage until the proof stage.

The corresponding author is the only one of the authors who is responsible to submit the manuscript files to journals under the umbrella of Science Park Publisher, so editors of Science Park Publisher are accountable for contacting authors and sending Emails to them. The corresponding author should ensure that the accepted article has been approved by all co-authors. 

Authors should revise the order of names and accept the list, also if the corresponding author asked the editorial board to add or remove any author or rearrangement in the author list the coauthor should send permission and agreement letter of all changes before acceptance.   Moreover, the person who is being added or removed should send an agreement of changes to the submitted article. 

Authors must confirm:

  • All listed authors contributed significantly.
  • The manuscript has been reviewed and approved by all authors before submission.
  • Any conflicts regarding authorship are resolved before submission.
Changes in authorship
Requests to modify the authorship of a manuscript whether adding, removing, or rearranging authors—must be formally submitted using the designated form and sent to the journal's official email address

Such changes are only considered under exceptional circumstances after the manuscript has been accepted. While a request is under review, the publication process may be suspended. Unauthorized changes to authorship may lead to the rejection of the manuscript or retraction of the published article

Citations

Citation and referencing of appropriate and relevant literature is a fundamental part of scholarly publishing and a shared responsibility among authors, editors, and peer reviewers. Authors are expected to accurately reference original research, review articles, and other sources, including datasets, software, and methodologies, using the citation format specified by the target journal. Excessive self-citation should be avoided to maintain the credibility of scholarly metrics. Each citation must include complete details such as author names, title, year of publication, and DOI (if available). Editors and peer reviewers should not request citations unless there is a clear and valid scholarly reason. Science Park Publisher strictly prohibits citation manipulation, including citation stacking, citation cartels, or coercive citation practices. This policy aligns with the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which provides guidance on ethical citation behavior and how to handle citation abuse.

Complaints

Science Park publisher allows the author to appeal the decision of journal editors and complaint to the editorial management of the peer review operation. 

Science Park Publisher welcomes your opinion of the editor’s decision and introduces good evidence and response to the comments of the editor and peer reviewers.

  • The appeal must be submitted within 30 days of receiving the decision.
  • Clear evidence or justification for the appeal must be provided.
  • The editorial board’s decision on the appeal is final.

Policy on Article Correction, Retraction, and Removal

Authors who identify an error in their published work should promptly reach out to the journal through the contact information available on its home page. Generally, it is the responsibility of the corresponding author to report the error to the journal.

The journal Editor or a designated representative with appropriate expertise will assess the correction request and review any relevant supporting data or information. If needed, the proposed correction may be subjected to further peer review. The final decision regarding the correction method will be made by the journal Editor.

Expressions of Concern Policy

Journal editors or appointed representatives, such as members of the journal's Ethics Committee, may issue an Expression of Concern under certain circumstances. These include cases where there is insufficient but concerning evidence of research or publication misconduct that remains unresolved and requires notifying readers. An Expression of Concern may also be considered if there are doubts about the fairness, impartiality, or thoroughness of an investigation into alleged misconduct or if an investigation is ongoing, but its conclusion is expected to take a significant amount of time. Such notices can be temporary or permanent. If temporary, they are generally followed by an additional notice that outlines the investigation's outcome, which may result in a permanent Expression of Concern, a retraction or removal, or an Editor's Note indicating exoneration. This policy, established by Science Park Publisher, aims to uphold the integrity and transparency of the publication process.

Policy on Withdrawing Articles

At Science Park Publisher, Articles-in-Press are early versions of accepted articles that have not yet been published in their final form. In certain situations, these articles may be withdrawn before official publication—but only under specific conditions.

Withdrawal by Publisher

Science Park Publisher may withdraw an Article-in-Press in the following cases:

  • If the article was published prematurely due to editorial or production errors.
  • If the article is found to be a duplicate of another published work because of a processing mistake.

In such cases, both the HTML and PDF versions will be removed from public access and replaced with a formal withdrawal notice. This notice will explain the reason for the withdrawal and refer to Science Park Publisher’s Article Withdrawal Policy.

Author-Initiated Withdrawal Requests

Authors cannot directly withdraw a submission through the platform. However, if they wish to request withdrawal, they must:

  • Send a formal email request to the journal’s editorial office.
  • Provide a clear explanation and justification for the withdrawal.
The editorial board will review the request, and a decision will be made based on the stage of publication and the validity of the reason. Unauthorized or unjustified withdrawal requests may not be accepted.

This policy ensures fairness, transparency, and integrity throughout the publishing process.

Article Retraction Policy

At Science Park Publisher, article retractions are occasionally necessary, either requested by the authors or initiated by the journal editor based on feedback from the academic community. Retractions occur when errors significantly impact the validity of the research, making standard corrections insufficient, or if there are violations of the publisher’s ethical standards, such as multiple submissions, false authorship claims, plagiarism, or data manipulation.

Journal editors or assigned representatives, like members of the Ethics Committee, will consider retracting an article under the following conditions:

  • There is clear evidence that the research findings are unreliable due to significant errors, fabricated data, or falsification (e.g., manipulated images).
  • Instances of plagiarism are detected.
  • The article has been previously published elsewhere without proper acknowledgment, permission, or justification (redundant publication).
  • The work contains unauthorized or improperly obtained material or data.
  • Copyrightviolations or other serious legal issues, such as defamation or privacy breaches, are identified.
  • The research involved unethical practices or violated ethical standards for studies involving human participants or animals.
  • There are indications of compromised peer-review processes or manipulation of the editorial system.
  • Evidence shows that authorship was falsely claimed, sold, or manipulated.
  • There are signs of deliberate citation manipulation to unfairly boost citations or metrics.
  • Significant conflicts of interest that could affect the interpretation of the research were not disclosed.
  • Any other substantial breach of the journal’s policies that compromises the article's credibility.

When an article is retracted, Science Park Publisher follows specific procedures to maintain transparency:

  • A retraction notice titled “Retraction: [article title]” is published in a subsequent journal issue, signed by the editor and, when appropriate, the authors. It appears in the table of contents.
  • In the online version, a link connects the retraction notice to the original article.
  • Before accessing the online article, readers see a screen displaying the retraction note, ensuring they are aware of the retraction before viewing the article.
  • The original article remains accessible but is marked with a visible “retracted” watermark on every page of the PDF.
  • The HTML version of the retracted article is removed.

These measures ensure transparency and uphold the integrity of the publication process.

Competing and Conflict of Interest

Conflict of Interest / Competing Interests

To maintain transparency and integrity in scientific publishing, authors must openly disclose any financial or personal connections that could influence the outcome or interpretation of their research. These may include funding from organizations with a vested interest in the study, personal relationships that could impact objectivity, or ownership of patents and company shares related to the work. Other examples of potential conflicts include employment, consultancies, honoraria, stock ownership, paid expert testimony, patent applications, or any form of financial support. If any such relationships exist, they must be clearly declared when submitting the manuscript. If there are no competing interests to report, authors should simply state: "I have nothing to declare." Science Park Publisher follows COPE and WAME guidelines and will take appropriate action, such as issuing corrections or retractions, if a conflict of interest is identified after publication.

Misconduct

Science Park Publisher is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics. Any form of misconduct, including plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, improper authorship practices, duplicate publication, undisclosed conflicts of interest, or manipulation of the peer review process, is strictly prohibited. If misconduct is suspected, the editorial team will conduct an initial investigation and may request explanations or evidence from the authors. Confirmed cases of misconduct may lead to actions such as rejection of the manuscript, retraction of the published article, notification to the author’s institution, and a ban on future submissions. All cases are handled in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Action steps:

  • Allegations of misconduct will be investigated thoroughly.
  • Authors will be contacted for clarification and defense.
  • Proven cases of misconduct may lead to retraction and notification of the authors’ institution.
Plagiarism

As a member of Crossref and its Similarity Check initiative, Science Park Publisher is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics by actively screening all submitted manuscripts for plagiarism. Plagiarism is defined as the use of another person’s work including text, data, images, tables, or theories without appropriate citation, while self-plagiarism refers to republishing one’s own previously disseminated content as new without acknowledgment. Both forms are considered unethical and unacceptable. Authors are required to cite original sources accurately, avoid duplicate publication, obtain permission for any reused or third-party content, and clearly acknowledge the contributions of other works. Science Park Publisher strictly opposes all forms of plagiarism and duplicate submissions; any suspected misconduct will be handled in accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines. Confirmed violations may lead to manuscript rejection, retraction of published articles, and notification of the authors’ affiliated institutions.

Using Inclusive Language in Research

Inclusive language in scientific research ensures respect for diversity, sensitivity to differences, and equal opportunities for all. It is important to avoid assumptions about readers’ beliefs or values and to refrain from language that implies superiority based on factors such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability, or health status. Research writing should be free from bias, stereotypes, and cultural assumptions. Where possible, gender-neutral language should be used, for example, using plural nouns such as “clinicians” or “patients/clients” instead of gendered pronouns like “he” or “she.” References to personal attributes should only be included when relevant to the research. In technical terminology, it is recommended to replace terms such as “master” and “slave” with “primary” and “secondary,” and “blacklist” and “whitelist” with “blocklist” and “allowlist” to ensure neutral and inclusive language. While these guidelines provide general recommendations, they are not exhaustive or prescriptive but serve as a foundation for fostering inclusive and respectful scientific communication.

Funding sources

At Science Park Publisher, we value honesty about how research is supported. Authors must clearly state any funding they received for their work. This includes money, equipment, materials, or other help.

Please include:

  • The name of the funding organization.
  • Grant numbers or project codes, if available.
  • brief note about what support was received.

If the research did not receive any funding, authors must write:

"This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors."

This information must be included in the Funding section when you submit your article. Not providing this may lead to rejection or removal of the article later.

Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing
Science Park Publisher is committed to ensuring transparency and integrity in scientific publishing. As such, authors are required to disclose the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted tools during the writing stage of manuscript preparation at the time of submission.

Generative AI tools may be used exclusively to support language editing and improve the clarity or readability of a manuscript. Their use must remain under full human supervision, and authors are expected to critically assess, verify, and revise any AI-generated content to ensure accuracy, originality, and appropriateness. AI-generated text may contain factual errors, biases, or misleading phrasing, and the final responsibility for all content lies with the authors.

AI tools must not be credited as authors or co-authors under any circumstances, as authorship implies human contributions, accountability, and ethical responsibilities that AI cannot fulfill.

Authors must include a clear disclosure statement if generative AI or AI-assisted tools were used during manuscript preparation. This statement should appear in a dedicated section titled "Disclosure of AI Assistance in Writing" placed before the references in the submitted manuscript. Below is an example of acceptable wording:

Disclosure of AI Assistance in Writing:

During the preparation of this manuscript, the author(s) used [tool/service name] to [e.g., enhance grammar, improve readability, rephrase text]. All generated content was reviewed and edited by the authors, who take full responsibility for the final content.

The use of basic writing aids such as spell-checkers, grammar-checkers, or reference managers does not require a formal declaration.

Furthermore, Science Park Publisher does not permit the use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard, or others) by reviewers or editors during the peer review process, to preserve research confidentiality and uphold editorial integrity. This policy may be updated as ethical standards and technologies evolve.

Data availability and open access
Science Park is offering high-quality open-access research as possible to reach all over the world as articles, reviews, reports, communications.  All content is freely accessible and available for anyone to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers.

The works are licensed under Creative Commons attribution CCBY license. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.

Use of Third-Party and Previously Published Content
If a manuscript includes data, materials, tables, figures, schemes, audio, video, screenshots, or any other content not originally created and owned by the authors, the authors must obtain written permission from the copyright holder and comply with all applicable copyright regulations.

Additionally, if the content was previously published—even if the authors themselves created it—but the copyright is held by another journal or publisher, the authors must also obtain formal permission to reuse the material.

Permission documentation must:
  • granted by the current copyright holder (e.g., publisher or journal).
  • Clearly state the scope of reuse, including permission for inclusion in the new publication.
Research involving humans and animals
If the study of the research contains human participants and identity or photos of patients as in medical research, authors must mention a statement that the study is approved by the national research ethics committee with the ethical standards. For underage participants, parental or guardian consent is required.

If the study involves experimental works on animals, authors must have an approved statement from the relevant institutional ethics committee, or the institutional animal use and care committee including the name of the institution and follow the national or international guidelines in their research procedures.

Documentation required:
  • Ethics approval reference number.
  • Detailed description of ethical safeguards implemented.
Reporting Sex- and Gender-Based Analyses
Science Park Publisher encourages authors to consider and incorporate sex- and gender-based perspectives in their research whenever applicable, particularly in studies involving humans, animals, or biological samples such as eukaryotic cells. This approach supports the integrity, transparency, and generalizability of scientific findings.

Authors should clearly state how sex and/or gender factors were addressed in their research design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. If such dimensions were not included, a brief justification should be provided, highlighting any potential limitations this may pose for the broader applicability of the results.

To support clarity and reproducibility:
  • Clearly define the terms "sex" and "gender" as used in the study.
  • Avoid conflating sex (a biological classification based on attributes such as chromosomes, hormones, and anatomy) with gender (a social and cultural construct relating to identity, roles, and relationships).
  • Where applicable, acknowledge the diversity within sex (e.g., intersex variations) and gender (e.g., non-binary and gender-diverse identities).
  • Science Park Publisher recommends consulting recognized resources such as the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines to support best practices in integrating these considerations throughout the research process.
  • Our commitment to inclusive and rigorous science includes ensuring that sex and gender variables are properly addressed to enhance the quality and relevance of the research we publish.
Peer Review for Journals

Science Park Publisher employs a single-blind peer-review process where reviewers know the authors’ identities, but authors do not know the reviewers’ identities. Science Park Publisher journals provide you with the ability to publish your research with high quality, so the submission process of the submitted research will be passed by several steps of the review process. If our journals discovered that the research has been published in other journals, the submission process will be removed.  If the scope of the research is not related to the scope of the selected journal, the editorial board will reject it and ask you to transfer it to another suitable journal. Science Park Publisher is responsible for selecting a professional editorial board and expert in related fields of international journals.

They should be a professor title or higher would be preferable. All editorial members must be from different nationalities and publish a lot of papers and have a high H-index that will be given priority.  Editors should treat all authors with transparency and no conflict of interest. Ensure the confidentiality and impartiality of each author.  Editor in chief of the journal is responsible for the final decision of acceptance or rejection of the manuscript based on the report of the reviewers.  The editors and reviewers treat the submitted articles as confidential files through the reviewing process. 

The manuscript will be reviewed by two reviewers or more as suggested by the editorial board. Moreover, Editors have the right to invite new additional reviewers if the manuscript needs that and Editors will inform the authors of the further review decision.

The reviewers should hold a Ph.D. or MD in medical journals. Expert in the submission field and have publications proved from Scopus and ORCID. They must have no conflict of interest with any author and should not have published with an author in the last two years. Reviewers who accept to review must provide quality reports with ethics standards and professionalism.

Principle of Editorial Independence
Science Park Publisher is firmly committed to maintaining editorial independence and integrity. All editorial decisions such as the acceptance or rejection of submitted manuscripts are made without influence from commercial or financial interests. These decisions are handled solely within the journal’s editorial structures, which may include editors, editors-in-chief, editorial and review boards, and ethics committees.

Editors are responsible for upholding the quality and integrity of published content, guided by the journal’s editorial policies, research validity, publishing ethics, and applicable legal standards, including those related to copyright, libel, plagiarism, privacy, and data integrity.

While the publisher supports editorial operations and may provide guidance on ethical or legal matters, it does not interfere with the editorial decision-making process. This separation ensures that the editorial content remains unbiased and ethically sound.

Preprints
Science Park Publisher accepts articles that have been previously published as preprints, provided they undergo significant revisions and improvements. These articles will be subject to a thorough peer review process to ensure they meet our publication standards before being officially published.

Production Policy After Acceptance
Once a manuscript is accepted for publication at Science Park Publisher, it enters the production stage. The following steps are followed to ensure accuracy and final approval:

1. Proof Preparation and Review
A typeset proof of the accepted article is sent to the corresponding author for proofreading. The author is expected to carefully review the content and respond to any editorial queries, ensuring that all corrections are clearly marked and submitted within the specified deadline.

2. Copyright Agreement
After the final proof is approved, authors are required to complete and return the copyright agreement. This step is essential to authorize publication and ensure that copyright terms are clearly established.
No article will be published until the final proof is approved and the signed copyright agreement is received.

Offprints
Offprints can be ordered by the corresponding author. Once the article is published, the corresponding author will be notified and provided with a link to the open-access version of the article. This link, in the form of the article's DOI, can be shared via email.

Archiving Policy
Science Park Publisher currently uses Google Drive as a secure internal repository for editorial and publication materials. However, we are in the process of integrating a long-term, certified digital preservation solution to ensure permanent access and archiving of published articles in alignment with best practices and standards set by scholarly publishing organizations.
