Publication Ethics Statement

Cancer Biome and Targeted Therapy is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics in line with international best practices. The journal adheres strictly to the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) https://publicationethics.org/ and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) https://www.icmje.org/.

We expect all authors, reviewers, and editors to conduct themselves ethically and transparently throughout the publication process. This includes avoiding duplicate publication, redundant publication, plagiarism, and any form of research misconduct.

Cancer Biome and Targeted Therapy enforces strict policies against image manipulation and unethical data presentation. Any detected violations may result in manuscript rejection, retraction, or notification of the authors’ institutions. We also require full disclosure of any competing interests and funding sources.

Authors must confirm that their submission represents original work, has not been published elsewhere, and is not under consideration by another journal. Cancer Biome and Targeted Therapy reserves the right to investigate allegations of unethical behavior and take appropriate corrective actions.
