PUBLICATION ETHICS

At the Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, we hold the principles of publication ethics in the highest regard. As stewards of research integrity, we expect all authors, reviewers, and editors to adhere to the following ethical guidelines:

  • Originality and Plagiarism: Submissions must be original work of the authors. Plagiarism in any form, including self-plagiarism, is unacceptable and will lead to immediate rejection.
  • Authorship: All individuals who have made significant contributions to the research must be listed as authors. Conversely, individuals who have not contributed substantially should not be listed as authors.
  • Conflict of Interest: Authors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may influence the interpretation or evaluation of their work. This includes financial interests, affiliations, or personal relationships.
  • Data Integrity: Authors must accurately present their research findings and provide sufficient detail to allow others to verify the results. Fabrication, falsification, or manipulation of data is considered unethical.
  • Ethical Treatment of Subjects: Research involving human or animal subjects must comply with ethical standards and regulations. Authors should provide evidence of appropriate ethical approval and informed consent.
  • Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must be provided. Authors should cite all relevant sources and give credit to previous research that has influenced their work.
  • Review Process: Reviewers are expected to conduct fair and unbiased evaluations of manuscripts. They should disclose any potential conflicts of interest and maintain confidentiality throughout the review process.
  • Editorial Integrity: Editors are responsible for ensuring the fairness and integrity of the publication process. They should handle submissions objectively and avoid any conflicts of interest.
  • Correction and Retraction: If errors are identified in published work, authors should promptly notify the editor and cooperate in issuing corrections or retractions as necessary.
  • Compliance with Guidelines: Authors should adhere to all formatting and submission guidelines provided by the journal. Failure to comply may result in delays or rejection of the manuscript.

By upholding these principles of publication ethics, we aim to maintain the credibility and integrity of the scholarly record. We appreciate your commitment to ethical conduct and look forward to receiving your submissions.

Sincerely,

Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis,
