Authors Guidance

READS is committed to scientific integrity and good editorial practice. Authors are expected to observe the following:

Conflict of interest: disclose any potential personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial conflicts of interest in the designated submission field.

Author identification: provide full name, institutional affiliation, ORCID, and the email address of the corresponding author (this information must be included only in the submission metadata, not in the manuscript file).

Manuscript integrity: the file submitted for review must be anonymized, with no data that could identify the authorship. Authors should remove names and institutional details from the text and delete personal information from “Document Properties” in Word or PDF (option “Remove Properties and Personal Information”).

Scientific responsibility: statements, opinions, and data contained in the articles are the sole responsibility of the authors.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Authors who use artificial intelligence tools (such as ChatGPT or others) at any stage of the article production process (writing, images, data collection or analysis) must disclose such use transparently in the Materials and Methods section (or equivalent). Failure to comply with this requirement may lead to manuscript rejection. For further details, please refer to the journal’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage Policy
