Research Misconduct and Complaints

The journal takes all concerns about research misconduct seriously. These include fabricated or falsified data, manipulation of images or research results, ethical violations, and peer-review fraud.

Authors, reviewers, and readers can report suspected misconduct by emailing jpt@gmail.com.

The editorial team will review each complaint, collect and protect relevant evidence, and ask the individuals involved for an explanation. When necessary, the journal may contact the authors' institutions for further investigation.

All decisions will be documented. If misconduct is confirmed, the journal may publish a correction or retraction, depending on the seriousness of the issue.
