REVIEWERS AND EDITORS

Reviewers should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit.
Any reviewer must not use unpublished information in the author’s own research without the express written consent of the author. 

Confidentiality
•    Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. The papers must not be shown and/or discussed with other scientists or reviewers from the board, not assigned to review the exact manuscript.
•    The reviewers must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, the other reviewer of the paper and NORDSCI publishing team.

Standards of Objectivity
•    Reviews should be conducted objectively.
•    Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. 
•    Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
•    Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.
•    Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Fair Play
•    A reviewer should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the nature of the authors, race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Corrections to the submitted full paper

•    When genuine errors in published work are pointed out by readers, authors, or reviewers, which do not render the work invalid, a correction will be published as soon as possible.
•    The online version of the paper may be corrected with a date of correction and a link to the printed conference proceedings.
•    If serious concerns are raised by readers, reviewers, or others, about the conduct, validity, or reporting of academic work, NORDSCI Team will initially contact the authors and allow them to respond to the concerns. 
•    If that response is unsatisfactory or the concerns are very serious and the published work is likely to influence clinical practice or public health, NORDSCI may consider informing readers about these concerns or excluding the paper from the database while the investigation is ongoing. Once an investigation is concluded NORDSCI will publish comment that explains the findings of the investigation.
