Publication ethics

RHJ is committed to maintaining high standards through a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies. Any infringements of professional ethical codes, such as fraudulent use of data, bogus claims of authorship, should be taken very seriously by the editors with zero tolerance.

Authors are responsible for the factual accuracy and copyright of their contributions.
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors and the responsible authorities at the institution where the scientific work was carried out.
