Scholarly publication ethics and compliance

All submitted manuscripts undergo mandatory automated screening using advanced similarity-detection software prior to editorial assignment. Editors evaluate papers independently, declaring any potential conflicts of interest before handling submissions to preserve absolute impartiality throughout the peer-review lifecycle.

In cases of proven academic misconduct, data falsification, or redundant publication, NPH enforces prompt retraction protocols in strict accordance with Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines, issuing formal notices of correction or retraction to protect the scholarly record.
