The series maintains strict adherence to international standards of medical publishing and research ethics. Submissions must demonstrate scientific novelty, methodological accuracy, and clinical or theoretical significance. All manuscripts undergo verification of originality using professional plagiarism-detection software. Authors are required to provide clear statements on ethical approval of research, informed consent (where applicable), conflicts of interest, funding sources, and data accessibility.

Guest Editors collaborate closely with the permanent Editorial Board and the editorial office to ensure consistency with the scientific and ethical policy of the series.

Peer Review Process
All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review, preserving the anonymity of both authors and reviewers. Editorial decisions include: accept, accept with revisions, revise and resubmit, or reject. The final publication decision is based on reviewers’ evaluations and the Guest Editor’s recommendation, with additional checks for ethical and technical compliance by the editorial office.
