Data fabrication — the intentional creation, falsification, or manipulation of research data, results, images, or findings — is considered a serious form of research misconduct and is strictly prohibited. The journal reserves the right to investigate any suspected case of data fabrication at any stage of the publication process. Authors may be required to provide original datasets, laboratory records, raw data, or other supporting documentation to verify the authenticity of their research.
