The Ethics of Publication
All parties involved, including the authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers, are expected to behave according to ethical principles. To be more specific.
Authors
Authors should objectively discuss the study's value and sufficient details and references. If a legitimate request is made, authors must keep correct records of the data related to their submitted work and either supply or grant access to these materials. Every piece of information utilised in the article is guaranteed to be genuine. Authors should deposit data in a proper repository or storage facility for sharing and future use by others whenever it is appropriate and whenever the employer permits it, the funding organisation, and any other individuals who might otherwise have an interest. It is unacceptable to engage in unethical behaviour, which includes making comments that are either fraudulent or wilfully false. Authors are responsible for ensuring their work is entirely original and acknowledging any instances where the work and words of others have been utilised. Plagiarism, in any form, undermines ethical standards and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously is considered unethical publishing behaviour and is not accepted. Authors should refrain from submitting manuscripts to various journals describing the same research, as it would be considered redundant. Authors should acknowledge the financial support, assistance, and guidance provided by others when appropriate. The disclaimer ought to be provided by the authors if applicable. Each co-author is expected to contribute meaningfully to the research. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring complete unanimity among the co-authors to ensure that they all approve the final version of the manuscript and its submission for publication. Authors must swiftly inform the editor if a severe error is discovered in their publication. Authors should also collaborate with the editor to publish an erratum, addendum, or corrigendum notice or retract the article if deemed essential.
Editorial Staff
Editors have complete responsibility and the authority to accept or reject a submission before it is submitted. Editors should consider only the academic value of papers when making their decisions. In their tasks, editors behave impartially, objectively, and fairly. They do not discriminate against authors based on gender, sexual orientation, religious or political opinions, ethnicity, or geographical origin. The editors accept the paper when they are reasonably sure. Editors are not permitted to use information not published during their study without obtaining the author's express written authorisation. Editors help to ensure that reviewers remain anonymous. Editorial staff members encourage posting corrections or retractions if errors are discovered. When editors receive ethical concerns that have been present regarding a manuscript that has been submitted or an article that has been published, they should take reasonable measures to respond to the allegations.
The referees
Confidentiality in the peer review process is paramount, as it upholds the integrity of the evaluation and the trust of the authors. Reports must be objective, and observations should be articulated clearly with supporting arguments, allowing authors to utilise them to enhance the article. It is essential to call attention to any pertinent published work that has not yet been cited. Any selected referee who believes they are not qualified to assess the research reported in a submission or is aware that it will be impossible to review the research on time should inform the editor and permit himself to withdraw from the review process. It is not appropriate for referees to consider manuscripts with conflicts of interest associated with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the publications. These conflicts of interest may arise from competing, collaborative, or other interactions or links.
The publisher
A publisher is responsible for monitoring and protecting publication ethics. The publisher communicates the journal's policies. The publisher is committed to protecting the privacy of all participants involved in the publication process. This responsibility is taken seriously to ensure the trust and confidence of all parties. The editorial freedom of the publisher is fostered. The publisher is responsible for ensuring the academic record is accurate. Publishers are responsible for safeguarding intellectual property and copyrights. Corrections, explanations, and retractions are all published in the publishing industry. Consistently, the publisher works to enhance the quality of the publication.
Withdrawal of the article policy
Regarding academic communication, it is a familiar premise that the editor or guest editor of a learned journal or series is alone and independently responsible for determining which articles submitted to the journal will be published. While making this decision, the editor or guest editor is bound by the legal requirements now in effect regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor or guest editor is directed by the policies of the editorial board of the journal for which they work. The relevance of the scholarly archive as a permanent and historical record of the transactions of scholarship is one of the outcomes that may be attributed to this idea. Insofar as it is feasible, articles that have already been published are to be preserved in their current form without any modifications. However, it is possible that in sporadic instances, circumstances can occur in which an item will be published only to be retracted or erased. Taking such acts is not something that should be done lightly and should only be done in extraordinary circumstances, such as the following: Article withdrawal: this is a term used only for articles that are still being published. These articles are early versions of the article and may contain errors or have been submitted twice by accident. The papers may occasionally, but not very frequently, constitute violations of professional ethical rules. These violations may include duplicate submissions, false claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data, or other similar offences. Infractions of professional, ethical rules, such as numerous submissions, false claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data, and other similar offences, are grounds for the retraction of an article. A retraction may occasionally be utilised to rectify errors made during the submission or publication. Removal of an Article: Legal restrictions placed on the publisher, the copyright owner, or the author(s). This article replacement aims to identify incorrect or faulty data that, if acted upon, would represent a substantial risk to an individual's health.
Statements of Publication Ethics Made Available to Authors
According to Wager E. and Kleinert S. (2011), responsible research publication: international guidelines for authors is the source of this adaptation. A position statement was put together at the 2nd World Conference on Research Integrity, which took place in Singapore from July 22nd to 24th, 2010. Chapter 50 is included in the edited volume "Promoting Research Integrity in a Global Environment" by Mayer and Steneck. (pages 309-16) Published by Imperial College Press. There is a 978-981-4340-97-7 ISBN.
1. Soundness and dependability of the system
The research being reported must have been carried out responsibly and ethically and should have adhered to all applicable laws. It is imperative that the research that is being reported be reliable and carried out with great care. Researchers must determine the proper methods for analysing and displaying data, and if necessary, they should seek and follow the advice of specialists in this area. Authors should accept collective responsibility for their labour and the substance of their publications. Researchers should carefully examine their papers at every level of the process to guarantee that their techniques and conclusions are appropriately described. Authors should also thoroughly review proofs, typescripts, data presentations, and calculations before submitting their work.
2. Authenticity
Researchers are responsible for honestly communicating their findings without engaging in fabrication, falsification, or unethical data modification. Micrographs, X-rays, and photographs of electrophoresis gels are examples of research images that should not be altered in a manner that could be construed as misleading. Researchers should prioritise clearly and unambiguously presenting their findings and discussing the methods they used to conduct their research. Researchers should also adhere to the applicable reporting rules. Other researchers should be able to replicate the studies described in publications because they should contain adequate detail. Research reports must be written in their entirety. Any discoveries or outcomes that are inconvenient, inconsistent, or incomprehensible and that do not support the authors' or sponsors' hypothesis or interpretation should not be omitted by them. The ability to veto the release of findings that do not favour their product or stance should not be granted to entities that provide funding and sponsorship for research. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as research that governments classify due to the consequences it may have for national security; researchers should avoid entering into agreements that allow the study sponsor to reject or influence the dissemination of the findings. If authors recognise an error in any work submitted, accepted, or published work, they must notify the editor promptly. Authors must work with editors to rectify the mistakes or withdraw necessary statements. When it comes to citations and quotations, authors are expected to portray the work of others appropriately. Authors should not copy references from other publications, especially if they have not read the work being referred to.
3. Balance
When presenting discoveries, it is essential to do so within the context of prior research efforts. Somewhat, the work of other people should be represented. In academic writing, reviews and syntheses of previously conducted research must be comprehensive and well-balanced. They should incorporate findings regardless of whether or not they lend support to the hypothesis or interpretation being suggested. Editorials or opinion pieces that give a specific stance or argument should be explicitly differentiated to differentiate themselves from scholarly evaluations. Publications must address the study's limitations.
4. Creativity and originality
Authors must conform to the publication standards, which stipulate that the material they submit must be unique and must not have been published anywhere else in any language. If the publications' editors have not consented to co-publishing, the work should not be submitted simultaneously to multiple magazines. All readers should be aware that the articles in question were co-published. All applicable copyright laws and conventions must be adhered to. Reproducing anything protected by intellectual property rights, such as tables, figures, or lengthy quotations, should only be done with the relevant authorisation and acknowledgement. Previous work and publications pertinent to the topic should be appropriately recognised and referenced, whether produced by other researchers or by the authors themselves. Citations of the primary literature should be provided wherever possible. The data, text, figures, or concepts that other researchers developed should be appropriately acknowledged and not presented as if they were the author's work. There should be quotation marks around the original text taken straight from papers written by other researchers, and the necessary citations should be included. The authors are responsible for telling the editors if the findings have been published in the past or if numerous reports or multiple analyses of the same data set are being considered for publication elsewhere. Authors must also distribute copies of relevant publications or work submitted to other journals. It is imperative that any multiple publications that result from a single research endeavour be clearly labelled as such and that the primary article be referenced. These translations and adaptations should be appropriately marked as such, acknowledge the source, and obey relevant copyright rules and permission requirements. Translations and adaptations for various audiences should be identified! Before republishing any work, authors should obtain permission from the original publisher if there is any uncertainty.
5. Transparency
Disclosure is required for all research funding sources, including direct and indirect financial support, the delivery of equipment or materials, and other forms of support (such as aid from specialists in statistical analysis or writing). The authors must disclose the role that the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) played in the research's design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and reporting. Suppose the authors have any relevant financial or non-financial interests or ties that could be regarded likely to alter the interpretation of their findings or that editors, reviewers, or readers might reasonably wish to know about. In that case, they are obligated to disclose them. This encompasses any connections to the journal, such as when editors publish their research in the journal that they edit. In addition, authors are obligated to comply with the standards of the journal and the institution on the disclosure of competing interests.
6. Appropriate authorship and acknowledgement of the work produced
The research literature serves as a record of what has been discovered and who made the discovery. Therefore, the authorship of research articles should appropriately reflect individuals' contributions to the study and its reporting. The criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed upon at the beginning of the project. Researchers are responsible for guaranteeing that only the people awarded authorship meet the authorship requirements, which means that they have contributed significantly to the work and that other authors who deserve authorship are not overlooked. To prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship, institutions and journal editors should advocate policies that prohibit these cases. All writers must provide their consent to be mentioned and approve the publication versions that have been submitted and accepted. It is essential for all writers, including those who have been removed from the list, to give their approval before any changes are made to the author list.
7. Responsibility and taking responsibility for one's actions
It is expected that all writers have read and are familiar with the work that has been reported, and they should also make sure that publications adhere to the principles outlined in these standards. In most instances, writers are expected to bear joint responsibility for the integrity of the research and its reporting. On the other hand, if the authors are only responsible for components of the study and its reporting, this should be made clear in the publication. If errors or omissions are discovered after the publication of the work, the authors shall collaborate with the editor or publisher to make the necessary corrections as soon as possible. When making materials, reagents, software, or datasets accessible to other researchers who have requested them, authors must adhere to the appropriate norms, requirements, and regulations. Clear policies should be in place for researchers, institutions, and funders to follow when dealing with requests of this nature. In addition, authors must adhere to appropriate journal standards. Even though proper acknowledgement is anticipated, researchers should not insist on authorship as a prerequisite for information sharing. Authors are expected to reply appropriately to comments made after the publication of their work, as well as documented correspondence. As much as possible, they should try to respond to the inquiries of correspondents and provide clarification or further facts where necessary.
8. Observance of the conventional practices of publication and peer review
Authors must adhere to publisher conditions, which state that their work should not be submitted to multiple publications for consideration simultaneously. The authors are responsible for informing the editor if they remove their work from review or opt not to react to reviewers' criticisms after gaining conditional acceptance. Authors must react to reviewers' comments professionally and promptly.
9. Responsible reporting of research that involves either animals or humans that has been conducted
Before beginning the research, it is necessary to secure the required approval, licensing, or registration, and that information should be included in the report. For example, approval from the Institutional Review Board, approval from the Research Ethics Committee, and approval from national licensing authorities for the use of animals are all examples of appropriate approvals. If editors request evidence, authors must prove that the research that was reported on gained the necessary approval and was conducted ethically. This evidence may include copies of approvals, licenses, and participant consent forms. Generally, researchers should not publish or disclose identifiable personal data gathered during research without obtaining the subject's (or their representative's) particular agreement. Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely accessible online. As a result, they should be aware of the possibility of causing harm or distress to readers who were not intended to receive it (for example, research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images, or pedigrees). At the beginning of the study, it is essential to identify which statistical analyses are acceptable. Preparing and adhering to a data analysis plan for the predetermined outcomes is also necessary. It is crucial to differentiate between primary analyses and those outlined in the data analysis strategy through secondary or post hoc analyses. Researchers need to publish any significant study findings that could add to a better understanding. Specifically, there is a responsibility to publish the results of all clinical trials, which is an ethical obligation.
Screening for instances of plagiarism as a policy
Plagiarism detection programs such as Crosscheck and iThenticate will examine the papers submitted to the International Journal of Engineering and Technology for plagiarism. The International Journal of Engineering and Technology will reject any manuscripts containing plagiarism or self-plagiarism without delay.
Copyright and Licensing Policy
Authors who publish in The International Journal of Engineering and Technology (IJET) retain full copyright of their articles. By submitting a manuscript, the authors grant IJET the right of first publication.
