The Code of Conduct and Best-Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (Committee on Publication Ethics stated at https://publicationethics.org/core-practices ) serves as the primary foundation for our publication ethics and malpractice statement (in accordance with international ethical rules of scientific publications).
Editors' responsibilities
Publication Decisions
Selecting the papers that will be published in the journal is the editor's responsibility. Manuscripts shall be judged by the editor without consideration for the authors' political ideology, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or race. The judgment will be made on the basis of the significance, originality, and clarity of the manuscript, as well as the validity of the study and its applicability to the journal's scope. It is also important to take into account the current legal requirements for plagiarism, copyright infringement, and libel.
Confidentiality
Any information on a submitted article may only be shared by the editor and any editorial staff with the associated author, reviewers or potential reviewers, any editorial advisers, and the publisher, as applicable.
Conflicts of interest and disclosure
The editor and editorial board members will not use unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own study without the express written approval of the author.
Authors' duties
Reporting requirements
Original research report writers ought to include a factual description of the work done together with an unbiased assessment of its importance. The paper should accurately present the underlying data. A paper should have enough information and citations so that other people may do the same research. It is unethical and unprofessional to make false or intentionally erroneous statements.
Plagiarism, originality, and attribution of the source
Authors will only submit fully original works, properly citing or paraphrasing other people's words and/or works. Citations should also be made for publications that have influenced the description of the work that has been reported.
Data Retention and Access
In the event that raw data is requested in connection with a paper for editorial review, authors should be ready to grant public access to the data (in accordance with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if at all possible, and in any case, be prepared to keep the data for a reasonable amount of time following publication.
Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication
Manuscripts that fundamentally describe the same study should not be published by the author in more than one major publication journal. It is immoral and improper to submit the same paper simultaneously to many journals as this is considered unethical publishing behavior.
Generally speaking, an author of a previously published work shouldn't submit it for consideration in another journal.
When specific requirements are satisfied, it is occasionally acceptable to publish various types of publications (such as translations and clinical guidelines) in multiple journals. The secondary publication, which must include the same information and analysis as the original paper, requires approval from the authors and editors of the relevant journals.
Acknowledgement of Sources
It is imperative to always provide appropriate recognition for the contributions made by others. Citations for works that have influenced the understanding of the reported work should be included by authors. Private information sent via chat, email, or other discussions with other people cannot be utilized or reported without the source's express written consent. Without the express written consent of the author of the work engaged in these services, information obtained during the course of confidential services—such as reviewing grant applications or manuscripts—may not be used.
Authorship of the paper
Only people who have significantly influenced the idea, planning, execution, or interpretation of the published study should be able to claim authorship. As co-authors, everyone who has contributed significantly ought to be mentioned.
The corresponding author makes sure that the author list includes all co-authors who have contributed and excludes any unaffiliated individuals. Additionally, the corresponding author will confirm that every co-author has given their approval to the paper's final draft and agreed to its submission for publication.
Discloser of interest and conflict
A disclaimer about any financial or other material conflicts of interest that might be seen as influencing the manuscript's interpretation or outcomes should be included by each author. Disclosure of all funding sources for the project must be provided.
Error in the published work
Authors have a responsibility to promptly tell the journal editor or publisher of any serious errors or inaccuracies in their published work. They also have an obligation to collaborate with the editor to fix the paper in the form of an erratum or to retract the publication.
Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects
The author of the work must make it very evident in the text if it entails any unusual risks associated with the use of substances, processes, or equipment.
If the research uses human or animal subjects, the author must make sure that the publication states that all procedures were carried out in accordance with institutional norms and applicable regulations, and that the relevant institutional committee or committees have authorized them. The manuscript should state that informed consent was obtained before using human subjects for experimentation. Human subjects' right to privacy must always be respected.
Publisher duties
Handling of Unethical Publishing Behaviour
In situations where there is suspected or confirmed scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism, the publisher will work closely with the editors to take the necessary actions to make things clear and make the necessary changes to the offending paper. This covers the timely release of an update, an explanation, or, in the worst situation, the withdrawal of the impacted work. When research misconduct occurs, the publisher and editors must work together to find the papers and take appropriate action to stop them from being published. Under no circumstances should they condone or intentionally permit research misconduct to occur.
Access to Journals’ Content
The publisher guarantees accessibility by collaborating with organizations and managing our own digital archive, as part of our commitment to the ongoing availability and preservation of scientific research.
Conflict of Interest and Disclosure
Reviewers are not permitted to use unpublished elements from submitted manuscripts in their own study without the author's explicit written agreement. Ideas or privileged information that have undergone peer review must be kept private and not exploited for one's own gain.
Manuscripts containing conflicts of interest arising from competitive, cooperative, or other relationships or affiliations with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the papers should not be considered for consideration by reviewers.
Policy for Preprints and Postprints
Authors must attest as part of the submission process that their work has never been submitted or published before. When a manuscript is shared on private or public websites after it has been published in the journal " IAJSSMR," we advise using the journal's website URL.
Before their papers are accepted and published in the journal " IAJSSMR," authors have the option to make them preprints accessible on their personal or public websites.
