The rights and obligations of authors, editor, and reviewers are the following:

Authors:

  • Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.

Publisher:

  • The publisher must warrant that the manuscripts received will undergo a process of anonymous peer evaluation.
  • The publisher will observe the norms of the IJAER in copyright matters.
  • The publisher will only assess the intellectual value of the manuscripts, regardless of race, nationality, gender, ethnicity, beliefs or ideology of the author.
  • The publisher should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers:

  • Reviewers will not report on manuscripts which may create conflicts of interest resulting from competition, collaboration or any other relations with the author.
  • Reviewers will be fully objective and will clearly argument their viewpoints.
  • Reviewers should report possible cases of plagiarism or too obvious similarities between the evaluated manuscript and other published works they know.
  • Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.
