MNK Publication adheres to the Code of Conduct established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), utilizing COPE's flowcharts to address any suspected cases of misconduct. We strictly observe COPE's Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers. Our editors comply with COPE's Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. Authors should disclose any potential conflicts of interest and can still ensure the accuracy of their work. However, they must include an appropriate statement in the acknowledgements to inform readers.

Publication and Authorship Policy

• Peer-Review Process: All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process by at least two international reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Reviewers are selected by the Associate Editors and the Editor-in-Chief. Authors may also suggest potential reviewers for certain journals and article types.
• Review Criteria: Manuscripts are evaluated based on their relevance, originality, readability, statistical validity, and language quality.
• Review Outcomes: Possible decisions for submissions include acceptance, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection.
• Revisions: If authors are invited to revise and resubmit their manuscript, acceptance of the revised submission is not guaranteed.
• Rejections: Rejected manuscripts will not be re-reviewed.
• Legal and Ethical Compliance: Manuscript acceptance is subject to legal requirements, including those related to copyright infringement and plagiarism.
