Publishing Ethics

Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities support and adopted “Publication ethics and malpractice” which are based on COPE’s Best Practice (http://publicationethics.org/) and Elsevier PERK (http://www.elsevier.com/editors/perk).

PUBLICATION FREQUENCY

Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities is a Bi-monthly journal. This journal is published 6 times per year.

The Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities is a scientific journal that is peer-reviewed. Its actions are based on the Committee on Publication Ethics' (COPE) ethical guideline for publications, which is directed at editors, referees, and authors.

DUTIES OF EDITORS

Decisions on publication: It is up to the Editors of the "Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities" to decide whether or not the suggested papers should be published.

Honesty: The Editors examine articles submitted for publication solely on the basis of their scientific value, without regard for the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or political views.

Confidentiality: The Editors and members of the working group agree not to reveal information about the papers submitted for publication to anyone except the author, referees, and editor.

Conflict of interest and disclosure: The Editors agree not to utilise the content of papers submitted for publication in their research without the author's explicit agreement.

DUTIES OF REFEREES

Contribution to the editorial decision: Peer review is a method that assists editors in making decisions about proposed articles and also allows the author to improve the contribution that is submitted for publication.

Respect for time: Any referee who does not feel up to the task at hand or who is unable to complete the evaluation of the proposed contribution within the allotted time must notify the coordinators immediately.

Confidentiality: Each reading assignment should be treated as private. As a result, these writings must not be discussed with anyone without the editors' express permission.

Objectivity: The peer-review process must be carried out objectively. Any personal judgments regarding the contributors' authors are deemed unacceptable. The referees must provide acceptable justifications for their decisions.

Text display: Referees agree to appropriately highlight bibliographical references to foundational works that the author may have overlooked. Any parallels or overlaps between the text acquired in reading and other works known to the referee must likewise be reported to the editors.

Conflict of interest and disclosure: Secret information or information received during the peer-review process must be kept private and not exploited for personal gain. The referee will not read papers for which there is a potential conflict of interest due to prior collaboration or rivalry with the author and/or her/his institution.

DUTIES OF AUTHORS

Access and retention: The authors of the articles should make available the sources or data on which the research is based, if the editors feel it suitable, so that they can be retained for a fair period of time after publication and maybe made accessible.

Originality and plagiarism: The authors must certify that they have written an original work in its entirety, specifying all of the materials they used.

Publications multiple, repetitive and/or competitors: The author should not publish articles in more than one scientific journal that duplicate the same search results: simultaneous submission of the same contribution to numerous scientific journals is unethical and repulsive.

List of sources: The author should always give credit to the sources and contributors that are referenced in the post.

Authorship: All people who have made a major contribution to the design, organisation, implementation, and revision of the research that forms the basis of the paper should be referred to as co-authors. Other people's contributions must be acknowledged explicitly if they played a key role in some phases of the research. In the case of multiple-author contributions, the author who submits the text to the journal must certify that all other co-authors' names have been correctly stated, that the final version of the article has received their approval, and that they have given their consent for publication in the "Stallion Publication - Integrated Journal for Research in Arts and Humanities".

Conflict of interest and disclosure: All authors must expressly state that they have no conflicts of interest that could have influenced the findings or interpretations provided. Authors must additionally include any research funding agencies and/or the project that resulted in the publication of the article.

Errors in published articles: When an author notices a substantial error or inaccuracy in his or her work, he or she should immediately notify the journal editors and give them with all the information they need to include the appropriate revisions at the bottom of the paper.
