The journal takes into consideration the avoidance of other issues like plagiarism, duplicate text, figures, submission, publication, data fabrication or falsification, etc, as all ethics are according to COPE instructions. 

Authorship:

The list of authors must reflect, and be limited to, those who have made significant contributions to the intellectual work presented in the paper. All co-authors must agree to both the original submission and if accepted, the final revision.

Submission declaration and verification

You must declare explicitly that the work described has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright holder. All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work.

Changes to authorship

Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in the author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal, or rearrangement. In the case of the addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
