The Editorial board has developed a Code of Ethics based on Publication Ethics for it’s own editorial members. All the editorial board members have agreed to adhere on following ethics and responsibilities.

Contribution of Authors:

Reviewers will assist the authors through their feedback and comments by providing fair, honest, and unbiased assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the abstracts/manuscript and provide objective and constructive feedback in review to encourage the authors to develop their research papers.

Conflict of Interest and Bias:

Reviewers should ensure to declare all potential competing, or conflicting interests. If the reviewers are unsure about a potential competing interest that may prevent him/her from reviewing, they would communicate this to the organizing committee as soon as possible. Reviewers will remain unbiased throughout the review process with regard to nationality, religious or political beliefs, gender, and other characteristics of the authors, origins of a manuscript and/or their professional affiliation.

Timeliness:

Reviewers should inform the editors if the manuscript cannot be reviewed as per the time given for the review until it is too late.

Confidentiality:

They would respect the confidentiality of the peer review process and refrain from using information obtained during the peer review process for their own or another’s advantage, or to disadvantage or discredit others.

Accountability:

They would not delegate the authority to any other person with regards to reviewing the research papers without obtaining permission of journal editors/IJCCD committee. Reviews of the research Papers and abstracts should also be prepared by the reviewer.
