Best Workflow Statement and Prevention of Publishing Violations
The statement outlines the best workflow and prevention of publishing violations. The COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) set of rules for magazine editors is designed to establish a set of minimum standards expected to be followed by all COPE members. The best practices have garnered widespread support and were formulated in response to editors' requests for guidance on a wide and evolving range of complex ethical issues. While COPE expects all members to adhere to the set of rules related to journal editors (and addresses complaints related to members who do not comply), it is recognized that editors may not be able to implement all voluntary best practice recommendations. However, it is hoped that our suggestions will lead to the identification of journal policies and practices that require review and discussion. In this combined version of documents, a mandatory set of rules for journal editors' standards is written in organized texts with numbered articles.

The editor-in-chief should seek assurance that all research has been approved by the competent authority (e.g., ethics review committee). However, the editor-in-chief should be aware that such approvals do not guarantee the ethical conduct of the research.
Best practices for the editor-in-chief include:
  • Being prepared to request evidence of the ethical approval of research and questioning authors about ethical aspects (e.g., how participant consent was obtained or the method used to minimize animal harm) in case of concerns or the need for clarification.
  • Ensuring that reports of clinical trials are based on the Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice, and other relevant guidelines for ensuring participant safety.
  • Ensuring that reports of experiments or studies on animals comply with the World Health Organization's guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals or other relevant guidelines.
  • Appointing a consultant or ethical board for advice on specific issues and conducting periodic reviews of the journal's policy.
11. Dealing with Potential Misconduct: 11-1. The editor-in-chief is obligated to take action upon observing misconduct or signs of potential misconduct, covering both published and unpublished articles. 11-2. The editor-in-chief should not simply reject articles suspected of misconduct. Ethically, they must investigate such cases. 11-3. The editor-in-chief should follow the COPE guidelines wherever possible. 11-4. Initially, the editor-in-chief should seek a response from the parties involved in suspected misconduct. If a satisfactory response is not obtained, the matter should be addressed by staff, the institution, or other qualified individuals. 11-5. The editor-in-chief must make every effort to ensure that appropriate action is taken regarding the misconduct. If this does not happen, the editor-in-chief must make every effort to find a solution to the problem. This task is challenging but crucial.

14. Encouraging Discussion: 14-1. The editor-in-chief should be eager to address convincing criticisms of works published in the journal. 14-2. The author of the criticized article should be given an opportunity to respond. 14-3. Reading negative results in work reports should not be overlooked.
Best practices for the editor-in-chief include:
  • Freedom to investigate cases where published content is challenged in the journal.

The editor-in-chief should follow the procedure outlined in the COPE for handling complaints.
16. Economic Considerations: 16-1. Journals must have policies and systems to ensure that economic considerations do not interfere with editorial decisions (e.g., the advertising department should operate independently of the editorial department). 16-2. The editor-in-chief should have a clear advertising policy regarding the content of the journal and the approaches needed for sponsorship.
Best practices for the editor-in-chief include:
  • Publishing a general explanation of the journal's income sources (e.g., the share of income from advertising, sales, sponsorship requirements, etc.).
  • Ensuring that the sponsorship review process is similar to the journal's own sponsorship.
  • Ensuring that items included in sponsorship are based solely on academic merit and appeal to readers and that decision-making on these requirements does not interfere with commercial considerations.

These guidelines ensure uniformity and quality in manuscript submissions. Adherence to these standards will facilitate the review and publication process.
Submission Guidelines:
  1. The submitting author is considered the general contact for all matters related to the article. All subsequent correspondences and notifications will be directed to this individual. When submitting the article, a letter confirming and introducing the author-contact should be signed by all authors and sent to the journal. This letter should clearly indicate the order of author names and specify the "corresponding author."
  2. Exercise caution when submitting or editing the article file. Ensure that the Persian and English abstracts, Persian and English keywords, and the required information about the authors are accurately placed in their designated sections. Articles lacking this information will not proceed in the review process.
  3. Format the entire article file as a single column on A4 paper with equal margins of 3 centimeters from the top, bottom, left, and right. Use the Mitra font (size 12) for Persian and Times New Roman font (size 11) for English, with a line spacing of 1.5 units.
  4. The article file should consist of five separate parts: the first page (1 page), Persian abstract (1 page), the main text of the article, references, and diagrams (each in a separate page, with explanations provided on the same page).
    • A) The first page should include the Persian and English titles and the details of all authors in the specified order.
      • For the corresponding author, include name, last degree obtained, field of study, affiliation details (educational group, department/research center, faculty/research institute, university/institute, city, country), mobile number, landline number, and postal address, and email.
      • For other authors, include name, last degree obtained, field of study, affiliation details, and email. The order of author names should be clearly defined.
    • B) On the abstract page, present the Persian and English abstracts first, followed by Persian and English keywords.
  5. In the main article text, refrain from using footnotes extensively. Only include footnotes when quoting more than 500 words from a source, indicating the source in the footnote is necessary. Simple referencing is insufficient.
  6. Avoid incorporating any diagrams (figures, tables, or charts) in the text. Only include them where necessary, and each should be numbered (e.g., Figure 2, Table 4, or Chart 1) centered in parentheses with a line space from the text above and below. Diagrams should be placed at the end of the article, each on separate pages, with numbering and explanations (Persian size 10 and English size 9). For numbering and referencing figures, tables, and charts, use three separate numbering series independently in the text. Ensure that explanations for each diagram are comprehensive and self-explanatory.
  7. The entire article text should be written in Persian, and strict avoidance of using Roman letters is necessary. In cases where a non-Persian word lacks a common equivalent in Persian, transliterate that word using Persian characters. In any part of the text that requires it, include the Persian equivalent of the non-Persian word in parentheses (never use footnotes for this purpose). Clearly state the Persian equivalent of a non-Persian word only once, at its first occurrence in the article.
  8. Submission of articles in the journals of Tarbiat Modares University is exclusively electronic. The steps for submitting an article electronically are as follows:
    1. After logging into the dedicated website for each journal, registration is mandatory for submitting an article.
    2. After logging in with your username on the site, select the "Article Submission Form" from the authors' section.
    3. In the next step, choose the number of authors, the type of article, and the article's subject (up to a maximum of 3 titles) and confirm.
    4. On the page provided at this stage, all mandatory sections must be completed with accurate information. Note that if the system approves the article submission and all information is not complete or the article file is not submitted in the specified order, the article will be returned by the site administrator.
    5. To submit the article file, only one file containing all the article information must be uploaded. The article file must be in Word format and include the article details page, abstract and keywords, the article text, references, and tables, charts, and figures along with their explanations.
