Duties of Reviewers

          The reviewers must treat all manuscripts received for review as confidential documents. Should any peer reviewer feel unqualified to review a manuscript or realize that a prompt review cannot be rendered within an appropriate length of time, the peer reviewer must decline to participate in the review process and notify the editor as soon as possible. In the case that some ethical issue/issues emerging from the paper, e.g., substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper, copyright infringement, research  fraud, salami slicing, plagiarism, competing interest, and simultaneous submission, the reviewer should bring the issue /issues to the attention of the editor. The reviewer should observe that the review process must be fair, unbiased, timely, and confidential.

 

Duties of Editors

          The editors are guided by the policies of the Kasem Bundit Journal, subject to relevant legal requirements, i.e., the rights upon registered and non-registered labels, copyright infringement, plagiarism, and other research and publication ethics. They must affirm that the peer review process is fair, unbiased, timely, and confidential, and it must be conducted by at least three external and independent reviewers so as to be unequivocally termed as a triple-blinded review.

 

Duties of Publishers

          The publishers must play a supporting, investing, and nurturing role in publishing and distributing the Journal and also be accountable for the observation of proper practices relating to authors, peer reviewers, and editors outlined above. The publisher is the owner of the Journal and, thus, owns the articles contained therein.
