Ethical Publishing Policies

01

Research Integrity

Authors are expected to conduct and report research honestly, responsibly, and transparently.

Research findings should not be fabricated, falsified, misrepresented, or knowingly presented in a misleading manner.

02

Authorship and Contribution

Authorship should reflect meaningful scholarly contribution to the research and preparation of the manuscript.

  • All listed authors should have made a substantive contribution.
  • All authors should approve the final manuscript.
  • Individuals who do not meet authorship requirements should not be listed as authors.
03

Plagiarism

Juris Quantum Research and Publications does not support plagiarism or the inappropriate use of another person's intellectual work.

Submitted manuscripts may be examined for textual similarity and other forms of inappropriate duplication where appropriate.

04

Duplicate and Redundant Publication

Authors should not submit substantially the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously.

Material that has already been published should not be presented as original work without appropriate disclosure and justification.

05

Fabrication and Falsification

Fabrication of data, evidence, sources, results, or other research materials is unacceptable.

Falsification or inappropriate manipulation of research materials, data, images, results, or methodology is also unacceptable.

06

Conflicts of Interest

Authors, reviewers, and editors should disclose any financial, professional, personal, or other interests that could reasonably affect the scholarly or editorial process.

07

Peer Review Integrity

Peer review should be conducted fairly, objectively, confidentially, and in a manner consistent with scholarly standards.

  • Reviewers should maintain confidentiality.
  • Reviewers should declare relevant conflicts of interest.
  • Reviews should focus on the scholarly quality of the manuscript.
08

Editorial Responsibility

Editors are expected to handle manuscripts fairly and consistently and to make editorial decisions based on scholarly considerations.

Editorial decisions should not be based on personal, political, commercial, institutional, or other irrelevant considerations.

09

Corrections and Retractions

Where a significant error, ethical concern, or other substantive problem is identified after publication, appropriate corrective action may be considered.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include a correction, editorial notice, expression of concern, or retraction.

10

Complaints and Appeals

Authors and other relevant stakeholders may raise concerns relating to editorial or publishing decisions through appropriate communication with the publisher or journal.

Complaints should provide sufficient information to allow the matter to be reviewed appropriately.

11

Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence

Authors should use artificial intelligence and AI-assisted tools responsibly and transparently where such tools are used in research or manuscript preparation.

AI tools should not be represented as authors, and responsibility for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and final content of a manuscript remains with the human authors.

12
