Respub Journals
To ensure that clinical and medical journals aspire to select, through peer review, the highest quality science, Respub follows important ethical principles and decisions, which are seldom explicitly stated and even less often shared with the readership. Here we summarized the comprehensive policy on publication ethics, which addresses all the major areas of ethics we believe contemporary science journals should consider.
Respub Journals expects that authors present accurate, original and objective research in the form of manuscripts. The authors are expected to preserve the raw data and any other valuable information related to the research. The editorial board may review the raw data in relation to the manuscript under publication consideration. The authors are expected to cite properly the publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. The authors are advised not to publish same manuscripts in more than one journal at the same time. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one Journal or publication will be considered unethical. Such behaviour is convicting and unacceptable. It is the responsibility of the authors to promptly notify editors about the errors and cooperate with them to withdraw or correct the submitted manuscript.
Respub Journals publish articles in all areas related to Medical Research and Surgery on quarterly basis. Submissions are single blind; peer reviewed by members of the Editorial Review Board. First, the journal Editor reviews papers for appropriateness, and uses a plagiarism verification tool to ensure the work has not been plagiarized.
Submission of a manuscript to the Respub Journals directly implies that all the authors have read and agreed to the journal’s guidelines. Manuscripts are provided with the understanding that they are sent solely to the Respub Journals and that none of the content in the paper has been previously published elsewhere, except abstracts.
Respub Journals, an international English language, open-access online and print journal, will consider for publication original articles, short communications, case reports, letters to the editor, editorials and mini-reviews.

Editors play an important role in scholarly publishing Journal’s. Respub Journals accept prominent personalities in various research fields, who could carry out their responsibilities with much dedication to improve the quality of the Journal. The editors will be accountable for evaluating the quality quotient of the articles submitted for publication in Journal of Medical Research and Surgery. The editors should ensure that the articles are evaluated according to journal guidelines and constructive feedback is provided to the authors in order to enhance the quality of the articles.
The editors are expected not to disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author(s), reviewers and other concerned members of the editorial board.
The editors should ensure that they complete the review process within stipulated time so that manuscripts are processed and reach the publication stage on fast track basis. The consistency in publication will also enforce a feeling of trust among the authors.
Guidelines to be followed
Confidentiality: Reviewers should not share any information from an assigned manuscript with outsiders without the prior permission from the Editor or preserve the data from an assigned manuscript.
Competence: Reviewer with fair expertise should complete the review. Assigned Reviewer with inadequate expertise should feel responsible and may decline the review as it is presumed that reviewer will be an expert in the respective field.
Constructive assessment: Reviewer comments should appreciate positive aspects of the work, identify negative aspects constructively, and indicate the enhancement needed. A reviewer should explain and support his or her judgment clearly enough that Editors and Authors can understand the basis of the comments. The reviewer should ensure that an observation or argument that has been previously reported be accompanied by a relevant citation and should immediately alert the Editor when he or she becomes aware of duplicate publication. A reviewer should not use any kind of abusive language while commenting on an article. Judgment of each article should be done without any bias and personal interest by the assigned reviewer.
Impartiality and Integrity: Reviewer’s decision should solely depend on scientific merit, relevance to the subject, scope of the journal rather than financial, racial, ethnic origin etc., of the authors.
Disclosure of conflict of interest: To the extent feasible, the reviewer should minimize the conflict of interest. In such situation, reviewer should notify the editor describing the conflict of interest.
Timeliness and responsiveness: Reviewers should morally abide to provide the review comments within the stipulated time and be active enough in responding to the queries raised by the editor if any.
Every journal at Respub Journals publisher performs all the process smoothly and efficiently. We provide utmost care to the valuable research work submitted at our journals and work to enhance the quality of the work by preserving the originality of the research. This is where Respub Journals fulfills its primary purpose and incorporates Article Processing Charges (APC) to bear handling costs. There is no submission fee for the manuscripts submitted to Respub Journals. The authors need to pay the APC at the end of the publication process. An author is given sufficient time to decide whether to accept the processing charges for publication of the manuscript in our journals. Once the authors have paid the Article Processing Charges and they cancel the publication of the manuscript, the money will not be refunded to the authors. Any kind of refund will not be issued if the author wants to withdraw/retract his/her paper from any Respub Journals after completion of payment and after the final publication. After payment and publication, if the author wishes to withdraw his/her paper for revision and resubmission, then no refund will be provided from Respub Journals. Respub Journals refunds the APC if any error occurred from the publisher’s end resulting in a failure to publish an article under the open-access policies. Also in case if multiple payments have been made by the author for the same manuscript or if extra amount is debited from author’s account, the extra amount received will be refunded to the authors account within 7-14 business working days.
