Publication Ethics & Malpractice Statement

IJARSMT is strictly committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against any publication malpractices. Our ethical statements are based on the guidelines and core practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

All parties involved in the act of publishing—authors, editors, and reviewers—must agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior.

1. Duties of Authors

• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works. If authors have used the work and/or words of others, this must be appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. IJARSMT enforces a strict overlap limit of less than 30%.
• Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently is unethical publishing behavior.
• Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. The corresponding author must ensure all co-authors have approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.
• Fundamental Errors in Published Works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

2. Duties of Reviewers

• Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and, through the editorial communications with the author, may also assist the author in improving the paper.
• Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
• Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
• Acknowledgement of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation.
• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

3. Duties of Editors

• Publication Decisions: The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The decision is driven by the validation of the work in question, its importance to researchers and readers, the reviewers' comments, and legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
• Fair Play: An editor should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
• Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

4. Anti-Plagiarism Policy

IJARSMT has a zero-tolerance policy towards plagiarism. All submitted manuscripts are screened using advanced plagiarism detection software prior to the peer-review process. If plagiarism is detected during the review process, the manuscript will be immediately rejected. If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal reserves the right to retract the paper, issue a formal notice of retraction, and inform the authors' affiliated institutions.
