Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

It is important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher and the society. Ethical standards for publication ensure reliable & high-quality scientific research publications, public trust in scientific findings, and that researchers receive credit for their research. IJESR is published by Sciengtex Publishing, steered by a distinguished board of institutional-based editors, being supported by reviewers made of prominent scholars from around the globeSciengtex adheres to the code of conduct of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure strict compliance to its best practice guidelines.

Duties of Authors

  • Reporting Standards: Authors of original research should present an accurate report of the work done in addition to an objective discussion of its importance. The underlying data should be represented accurately. A paper should contain sufficient details and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.
  • Originality and Plagiarism: The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately quoted or cited. IJESR is committed to publishing only original material; i.e., material that has neither been published elsewhere, nor is under review elsewhere. It uses the Crossref iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Only papers that pass both the plagiarism test (similarity index < 20%) and the peer-reviewed process will be published in IJESR
  • Concurrent, Multiple or Redundant Publication: The authors should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to mutiple journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.
  • Acknowledgement of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services
  • Authorship of the Paper: Authorship is a clear means of giving credit for intellectual work. This practice should be judged by how honestly, they reflect actual contributions to the final product. It is vital for academic promotion and grant support of the individuals involved as well as to the reputation and strength of their institution. Hence, only persons that have participated sufficiently who qualify for authorship should be listed. Authors should carefully consider the order and list of authors and provide the final list of authors at the time of the initial submission. Any deletion, addition or reordering of author names in the authorship list needs to be approved by a signed letter from every author provided the request is being made before the manuscript is accepted and only if approved by the Editor. Also, authors should provide a description of what each contributed, and this statement (information) will be published. All others who contributed to the work who are not authors should be named in the Acknowledgments, and what they did should be described.
  • Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects: If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the paper.
  • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose in their paper any financial or other conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their paper. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
  • Major errors in published paper: When an author discovers a substantial error or inaccuracy in his publication, it is his obligation to swiftly inform the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
