   • The complaint should include a detailed description of the issue, including relevant facts, evidence, and supporting documentation, if available.

2. Confidentiality:

   • The identity of the complainant will be kept confidential to the extent possible unless disclosure is necessary for the investigation and resolution of the complaint.
   • Confidentiality will be maintained throughout the complaint-handling process, and information related to the complaint will only be shared with individuals directly involved in the investigation.

3. Acknowledgment of Receipt:

   • Upon receipt of the complaint, the designated contact person or committee will acknowledge receipt in writing, confirming the details of the complaint and outlining the next steps in the process.
   • The acknowledgment will include an estimated timeline for the investigation and resolution of the complaint, based on the nature and complexity of the issue.

   • If the complaint is found to be valid, the journal will take appropriate corrective or disciplinary measures to address the issue and prevent recurrence.
