1. The purpose of “USP” is to publish the original eBooks/Chapters, journals, proceedings of seminars/conferences/works, etc.
2. English is the official language of “USP”.
3. Unique Scientific Publishers don’t publish fiction books.
4. To verify originality of eBooks/Chapters submitted, Managing Editor USP will check by any originality detection service. Keeping Similarity Index >19% and also Similarity Index from any single source >5% at the time of submission of eBook/Chapter is the responsibility of authors, however, the management of the USP will try to examine it, if found, eBook/Chapter is liable to be rejected.
5. The decision of acceptance/rejection of publication lies with the Managing Editor that will be based on the recommendations of the Committee of Editors in the specific field, and/or invited reviewers.
6. Manuscripts/eBooks/Chapters are not rejected except for technical reasons/ethical issues, but authors would be given chance to improve poor English or grammatical mistakes.
7. Authors can withdraw their manuscripts/eBooks/Chapters at any stage from submission to acceptance, however, it will be impossible when published online.

It is the responsibility of the Managing Editor, USP to take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of manuscripts/eBooks/Chapters where research/Ethical misconduct has occurred. In no case the management of “USP” will encourage such misconduct, or knowingly allow such misconduct to take place. If such misconduct case has been reported, then the management of USP will deal with allegations appropriately.

Authors are required to go through the document “Publication Ethics and Policies of the Unique Scientific Publishers” before submission of the manuscript/eBook/Chapter. The management of the USP is committed to maintain a high academic standard and is unbiased to any religious, nationality and ideological issue.

The USP works without bias, neither considering religion nor race in the publications, thus, we are impartial to anyone.

Only those eBooks/Chapters are considered for publication, the contents of which have not been published and are not being considered for publication with any other publisher and prepared keeping all the Ethical guidelines suggested by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). It is assumed that all named authors agree with the contents and form of the eBooks/Chapters and are responsible for the validity and originality of data presented.

Any behavior contrary to this ethics including plagiarism is unacceptable; the eBooks/Chapters will be removed from our website and the employer of the author (s) will be asked for strict action against such person (s). Thus, it is the responsibility of the author (s) to ensure that their submitted work does not interfere with any existing copyright material.

The contents of the Chapters/eBooks published by the USP are the opinions of the authors. Consequently, neither the Managing Editor nor the Publisher (Unique Scientific Publishers) are responsible for the opinions expressed/deduced or plagiarism committed by the author (s).

1. The USP is following strictly that all submitted Chapters/eBooks will undergo peer review with objective judgments.
2. Chapters/eBooks are sent for Peer-review to reviewers’ expert in the field.
3. The Reviewers should not have any conflict of interest; if yes, it is their moral duty to return the Chapters/eBooks to the Editor without reviewing.
4. Double-Blind Peer Review is the prime policy of the USP; neither reviewers know to whom Chapters/eBooks belongs to nor authors know who reviewed their Chapters/eBooks. Both identities are masked. To facilitate this, authors must ensure that their Chapters/eBooks are prepared in such a way that they do not reveal their identities to reviewers, either directly or indirectly.
5. Authors are encouraged to provide 3 to 4 names of leading scientists in the major field of their study. Include his/her name, designation, official postal address (University/Institute/Company, City, Country, Postal Code), official email address, and telephone/fax number.
6. It is not necessary that reviewers are selected from the list provided by the authors, however, approaching the reviewers by authors will lead to rejection.

Ethical guidelines are developed keeping the standards defined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Authors must write Bioethical statement at the start of the Materials and Methods section. Ethics Committee or Bioethics/Biosecurity Committee/Institutional Bioethics Committee approval is mandatory when human or animal/bird subjects/samples are involved in the research. In addition to this approval, authors must have written consent from patients (or relatives/guardians) before submitting the Chapters/eBooks to the USP. It is taken for granted that the anonymity of the personals involved in research will be maintained.
