In addition, authors, referees and members of all boards of TTSERS commit to follow the Code of Conduct laid out here.
The above summary is just for informative purposes. The binding terms and conditions follow.
Access to TTSERS is subject to the following terms and conditions, which constitute a contract between TTSERS and any user. By engaging in any form of interaction with TTSERS or its members, the user accepts these terms and conditions in full.
We denote by “TTSERS” Transaction on Biomedical Engineering Applications And Healthcare (TTSERS) is an Open Access journal, the journal TTSERS, the website tbeah.org, and the online system provided to organize submission and peer review of works, as well as TTSERS’s social media accounts.
We denote by “user” any person accessing, using, exchanging, downloading, or submitting any type of content or information with, from and to TTSERS and all services it provides, interacting with TTSERS in any way, or holding or exercising any function within TTSERS.
A “work” submitted to TTSERS refers to the actual manuscript as publically available on the archives, as well as all supporting material, such as, but not limited to, appendices, supplementary information, a popular summary, datasets, computer code, images, plots, videos or other recordings that are transmitted or made available to TTSERS in order to assess the manuscript’s suitability for publication. This refers to both the manuscript and material present in the initial submission, as well as all further versions and additions of material in later resubmissions.
The “submitter” is anyone who carries out the submission of a work to TTSERS for publication, either through the provided online system or via email, and who is identified by their account in the online system or name and address used in the email. In case of multiple submitters, the definition applies in full to every single one of them.
TTSERS fosters scientific integrity and ethical conduct. Consistent with the bylaws of TTSERS, its code of conduct upholds those values, detailing the ethical guidelines and expectations for participation in TTSERS. Authors, referees, editors, all board members and all other users of TTSERS are expected to act at all times in accordance with the principles and standards described in this code.
In particular, the code of conduct specifies behaviour that TTSERS deems unacceptable, both in interactions with TTSERS and in professional life in general. This includes but is not limited to:
Works submitted to TTSERS undergo the peer-review process following the Editorial Policies of TTSERS. This process ends with either the acceptance of the work for publication, or the terminal rejection of the work.
