Journal Ethics

Ethics of the Journal: The Journal/Academy strives hard to maintain high ethical standards throughout the publication. The journal ensures adherence to standard protocols, best practices, and guidelines provided by bodies like the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). For an original paper, the author should aim at zero plagiarism. However, a similarity index according to UGC norms (up to 15%) is allowed/permissible.
