Ethics for Publication

The Light Explorer adheres to ethics standard set by the global academic community and ensures that these are maintained by the editors, authors  and reviewers. The journal’s editors and reviewers are required to assess manuscripts fairly and maintain confidentiality. Authors must also ensure that an article submitted  is an original work and is not under consideration or had  been accepted  for publication elsewhere.

Summited manuscripts are checked for plagiarism  with  an anti-plagiarism software to make a  reasonable effort to determine the compliance  of the author(s) to academic integrity . The authors have the ultimate responsibility for the originality and academic integrity of the manuscripts submitted.

Likewise, the authorship credit should be based only on:

1. substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition, analysis or interpretation of the data  for the work;
2. drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
3. final  approval of the version to be published, and;
4. agreement to be accountable  for all aspects  of the work in ensuring  that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any  part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
