Avoid Plagiarism and Duplicate Publication
Each article submitted to WMRJ is scanned for plagiarism, including similarity to an author’s own work.

For reuse of an illustration from a copyrighted material in your review article, you must obtain permission from the copyright holder and cite and properly credit the source references, especially in the caption of the illustration.
Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Generated Text
The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to WMRJ publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.
Authors’ Responsibilities
- Originality: Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original. Any use of the work and/or words of others must be appropriately cited or quoted.
- Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with their manuscript for editorial review and should be prepared to make the data publicly available if practicable.
- Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not submit the
same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently. It is also inappropriate to
publish the same research in more than one journal. - Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must
always be given. - Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. Changes of authorship after acceptance are not allowed.
- Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.
- Fundamental Errors in Published Works: If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal’s editor or publisher and cooperate to retract or correct the paper.
