Publication Ethics
PUBLICATION ETHICS
The following are ethical provisions for SAHID MENGABDI which are adapted from COPE on the COPE Code of Conduct page
The SAHID MENGABDI Editor is committed to ensuring the implementation of all publishing managerial procedures to realize an objective intellectual process. Editors and Mitrabebestari/Reviewers evaluate manuscripts without regard to ethnicity, religion, race, and inter-group. Each manuscript that is submitted will first be checked for suitability with the scope and will be checked for plagiarism.
For Authors
1. Reporting Standards: Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be presented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Deliberately fraudulent or inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
2. Data Access and Retention: Authors are required to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
3. Originality and Plagiarism: 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 cited or quoted.
4. Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication: In general, an author should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
5. 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.
6. Authorship of the Paper: Essays should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported research. Anyone who has made significant contributions should be listed as a co-author. Where others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The appropriate author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
7. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
8. Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her 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.
9. 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 manuscript.
To Editors
1. Fair Play: Editors evaluate manuscripts at all times for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, national origin, or political philosophy of the authors.
2. 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.
3. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.
4. Publication Decisions: The editor of a journal is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editor may be guided by the discretion of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may consult with the editor or
