For personal use, internal institutional use, or for permitted scholarly posting only.</list-item> <list-item>In case of (b) above, an acknowledgement must be given to the original source of publication and a link must be inserted to the published article on the journal's/publisher's website. The link to the original source of publication should be provided by inserting the DOI number of the article in the following sentence: "The published manuscript is available at EurekaSelect via <a class="text-primary" href="https://www.eurekaselect.com/openurl/content.php?genre=article&doi=insert DOI">https://www.eurekaselect.com/openurl/content.php?genre=article&doi=insert DOI</a></list-item> <list-item>If the research is funded by NIH, Wellcome Trust or any other Open Access Mandate, authors are allowed the archiving of published versions of manuscripts in the nominated institutional repositories, after the mandatory embargo period. Authors should first contact the Editorial Office of the journal for information about depositing a copy of the manuscript to a repository. Consistent with the copyright agreement, Bentham Science does not allow archiving of FINAL PUBLISHED VERSION of manuscripts unless under an Open Access mandate as above. Archiving, under any of the above mentioned Open Access mandates, is done under the terms of the Creative Commons License CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 - Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.</list-item> <list-item>There is no embargo on the archiving of articles published under the <strong>OPEN ACCESS PLUS</strong> category. Authors are allowed deposition of such articles on institutional, non-commercial repositories and personal websites immediately after publication on the journal website. This is done under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License CC-BY 4.0.</list-item> <list-item> In case of any form of archiving, an acknowledgement must be given to the original source of publication and a link must be inserted to the published article on the journal's/publisher's website. The link to the original source of publication should be provided by inserting the DOI number of the article in the following sentence: "The published manuscript is available at EurekaSelect via <a class="text-primary" href="https://www.eurekaselect.com/openurl/content.php?genre=article&doi=insert DOI">https://www.eurekaselect.com/openurl/content.php?genre=article&doi=insert DOI</a></list-item> </ol> </sec> </sec> <sec> <title>LONG-TERM ARCHIVING OF BENTHAM SCIENCE CONTENT</title> <p>To ensure permanent access to our publications, Bentham Science has an agreement with <a href="https://www.portico.org/publishers/bentham/" class="text-primary">Portico</a> to have a long-term preservation of the content published in its journals.</p> </sec> <sec> <title>PEER REVIEW</title> <p>Bentham Science Publishers follows the double-blind peer review procedure for submissions of all manuscripts to its journals.</p> <p>All submitted articles are subjected to an extensive peer review in consultation with members of the journal’s editorial board and independent external referees (usually three reviewers). All manuscripts/chapters are assessed rapidly and the decision based on all the peer reviewers' comments, taken by the journal’s Editor-in-Chief, is then conveyed to the author(s).</p> <p>Submissions from the Editor-in-Chief/Co-Editor/Editorial Board Members will undergo independent peer review and will be submitted to another Editor for his decision on acceptance. For further details, please visit complete guidelines at: <u><a class="text-primary" href="/pages/peer-reviews">https://benthamscience.com/pages/peer-reviews</a></u></p> <sec> <title>Use of Generative AI and AI-assisted Technologies in the Peer Review Process</title> <p>Since the use of AI technology has increased, it has brought its own challenges regarding the originality of the review of submitted manuscripts. Bentham Science has been striving to improve its policies accordingly. With time, we will continue to update our policies to support our reviewers, authors, and editors.</p> <p>The quality of the peer review of submitted articles has been our top priority. The reviewers are advised not to use AI technologies or any other related assisting resources to generate review reports that could compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the reports.</p> </sec> </sec> </sec> <sec> <title>CONFLICT OF INTEREST</title> <p>Financial contributions and any potential conflict of interest must be clearly acknowledged under the heading ‘Conflict of Interest’. Authors must list the source(s) of funding for the study. This should be done for each author. For more details, please visit: <a class="text-primary" href="/pages/conflict-of-interest">Conflict Of Interest</a></p> </sec> <sec> <sec> <title>Confidentiality</title> <p>Bentham Science Publishers maintains the confidentiality of the submitted manuscript and its content. The editors are advised not to disclose any information on submitted manuscripts before their publication. </p> <p>The peer review of a manuscript is a confidential process. Bentham follows a double-blind peer review process where the identities of both the reviewer and author are kept undisclosed to each other, ensuring anonymity and maintaining confidentiality throughout the entire review procedure.</p> <p>Reviewers should keep the whole process completely confidential. They should consult the EIC/senior editor and take permission before consulting another colleague for help in the peer-review of the submitted manuscript.</p> <p>Reviewers should not disclose any information whatsoever to anyone before the publication of the manuscript.</p> </sec> <sec> <title>PLAGIARISM PREVENTION</title> <p>Plagiarism means copying or paraphrasing another writer's content, be it a text, a result or an observation, and stating it as one's own, without citing a reference to the original source. Therefore, authors should acknowledge and cite references to the work of other scientists in their manuscripts. The author should ensure that all the sources are authentic and that there is no discrepancy in the content of the manuscript.</p> <p>Bentham Science is vigilant in checking and identifying the primary sources of the data within the content by using the <a href="https://www.ithenticate.com/" target="_blank">iThenticate</a> software to detect instances of overlapping and similarity of text in submitted manuscripts. <a href="https://www.ithenticate.com/" target="_blank">iThenticate</a> software verifies the content against a database of periodicals, materials on the Internet, and a comprehensive article database. The software generates a similarity report in percentage that matches the article in process and the published material. This similarity is further scrutinized for suspected plagiarism according to the publisher's Editorial Policies. The generated report comprises the overall percentage of the content reused.</p> <sec> <title>The Credibility of Sources- Acknowledgements </title> <p>The study of an author has to be original. If there are credible sources of the content referred to in the manuscript, the author needs to cite all of them. Authors are advised to use <a href="https://www.ithenticate.com/" target="_blank">iThenticate</a> before submitting a manuscript to ensure that there are no instances of plagiarism. Authors are required to provide proper consent from the individuals and contributions of other authors should be acknowledged.</p> <p>Bentham Science has different editorial policies for authors who have more than one publication. Following those policies, the authors need to specify the sources of the submission in their recent work. For further details, please visit the following link of Editorial Policies for Concurrent Publication/Simultaneous Submission at <a href="https://benthamscience.com/pages/editorial-policies-main" target="_blank">https://benthamscience.com/pages/editorial-policies-main</a></p> <p>Bentham Science strictly follows COPE guidelines to detect plagiarism. For clearer insight, authors may refer to the flowcharts provided by COPE by <a href="https://publicationethics.org/sites/default/files/plagiarism-submitted-manuscript-cope-flowchart.pdf" target="_blank">clicking here</a> or visiting the COPE website.</p> </sec> </sec> <sec> <title>FABRICATING AND STATING FALSE INFORMATION</title> <p>To ensure the scholarly integrity of every article, Bentham Science will publish post-publication notices. The authors of the published articles, or those who have submitted the manuscripts with false information, or fabricated the supporting data or images, will be liable for sanctions, and their papers will be retracted. For further details, please visit complete guidelines at: <strong><u><a class="text-primary" href="https://benthamscience.com/fabricating-stating-false-information"> https://benthamscience.com/fabricating-stating-false-information</a></u></strong></p> </sec> <sec> <title>PREPRINT POLICY</title> <p>A preprint is an early version of an article that has not yet been accepted for publication in a journal. </p> <p>Articles submitted to a journal which have not been published and will not be simultaneously submitted elsewhere for publication can be considered for publication. Preprints are usually deposited on the author's own web page in an institutional repository, or on a preprint server. However, they are not considered as ahead-of-print or early access publications.</p> <p>Preprint archiving on any recognized, non-profit preprint server is entirely supported and encouraged by the BSP. Preprints deposited in designated preprint repositories at the same time as, or before, submission to a journal are not considered as prior, citable publications by the BSP Journals.</p> </sec> <sec> <bold> <title>HUMAN AND ANIMAL RIGHTS</title> </bold> <sec> <title>Research Involving Humans</title> <p>All clinical investigations should be conducted according to the <a class="text-primary" href="https://www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-declaration-of-helsinki-ethical-principles-for-medical-research-involving-human-subjects/"><strong><u>Declaration of Helsinki</u></strong></a> principles.

Authors of review articles are advised to address the methods used for selecting, locating, extracting, and synthesizing data; systematic reviews are required to do so.</p> </sec> <sec> <title>RESEARCH CONDUCTED IN SPECIAL OR CRITICAL SITUATIONS</title> <p>Bentham Science expects all contributors to respect values of justice, benevolence, and autonomy when conducting research. We understand that certain situations such as medical emergencies or humanitarian crises may differ from non-emergency scenarios. Bentham Science recommends that research efforts should not hurt human subjects/respondents or the researchers, and should be conducted with sufficient scientific rigor as permissible in these situations, respectively. Care should be taken to address potential problems faced by persons who may be victims of disasters or involved in a medical emergency. These are vulnerable individuals and their privacy and dignity should be respected. Researchers should make note of this in their research and identify potential issues in their work that may arise because of such situations. Research directed in emergency circumstances should be to the greatest advantage of survivors involved in the research and with the goal of minimizing any future casualties.

Plagiarism is strictly forbidden, and by submitting the article for publication the authors agree that the publishers have the legal right to take appropriate action against the authors, if plagiarism or fabricated information is discovered.</p> <p>Abstracts and posters of conferences, results presented at meetings (for example, to inform investigators or participants about findings), results databases (data without interpretation, discussion, context or conclusions in the form of tables and text to describe data/information where this is not easily presented in tabular form) are not considered prior publication.</p> <p>Authors who wish to publish translations of the articles that have been published elsewhere should ensure that they have appropriate permission(s), indicate clearly that the material has been translated and re-published, and indicate clearly the original source of the material. The Editor-in-Chief may request copies of related publications if he/she is concerned about overlap and possible redundancy.</p> </sec> <sec> <title>APPEALS AND COMPLAINTS</title> <p>Generally, the editorial decisions are not reverted. However, authors who think that their manuscript was rejected due to a misunderstanding or mistake may seek an explanation for the decision. Appeals must give sound reasoning and compelling evidence against the criticism raised in the rejection letter. A difference of opinion as to the interest, novelty, or suitability of the manuscript for the journal will not be considered as an appeal. The EIC and other relevant editors will consider the appeal and the decision thereafter taken by the journal will be deemed final. Acceptance of the manuscript is not guaranteed even if the journal agrees to reconsider the manuscript, and the reconsideration process may involve previous or new reviewers or editors and substantive revision.</p> <p>Authors who wish to make a complaint should refer them to the Editor-in-Chief of the journal concerned. Complaints to the Publisher may be emailed to <a class="text-primary" href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4821262e27082a2d263c2029253b2b212d262b2d66262d3c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6f060109002f0d0a011b070e021c0c060a010c0a41010a1b">[email protected]</span></a></p> </sec> <sec> <title>HANDLING POST-PUBLICATION MATTERS:</title> <p>To maintain the integrity of scientific research, Bentham Science carries out investigations regarding the concerns raised by authors and/or readers. However, authors are always provided a chance to respond to all complaints/comments.
