Publishing Ethics (As per COPE Guidelines)

The fact that publications appear in Swrjilu provides a solid basis for upholding high standards in scientific publishing, for increasing the public's trust in research findings, and for promoting a reliable network of knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to set clear ethical standards for all those involved in the publication process: authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and people associated with the journal.

Copy right constrains

Manuscripts that are sent into the journal must not have been previously published, presented, or submitted to any other journal. It is considered unethical to submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. If a manuscript has already been published, the publishers retain the legal right to take the necessary action against the author(s). When the manuscript is accepted for publication, the publisher will acquire all copyright for the paper.

Copyright

Once an article is accepted, authors must assign copy right in their article to the Publisher; this arrangement ensures the information can be widely disseminated under copyright law.

Permissions

Authors must secure written permission whenever they quote from unpublished material or when their quotation exceeds 250 words in one extract or 500 words in total from copyrighted works. They must also obtain permission before reproducing any figures or tables from unpublished or copy righted sources. If permission is needed as a result of their research, authors must obtain all necessary approvals from the appropriate authorities.

Reproducibility, Fabrication, Plagiarism and falsification of data

Researchers are expected to provide an accurate and precise account of their work so other

researchers can replicate it independently. When people invent data without carrying out the study, this is known as data fabrication; when data are altered after an experiment has been conducted, it is referred to as data falsification. Any act involving the fabrication, manipulation, or falsification of data amounts to a breach of research ethics. Swrjilu follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) if it suspects data fabrication or falsification. Plagiarism and falsification in any section of the manuscript submitted are regarded as serious breaches and must be strictly avoided.

Redundant publications

This involves producing many very similar manuscripts based on the same experiment; it may cause readers to pay less attention to your manuscripts, so you should avoid it.

Authorship and responsibility

Co-authorship must be restricted to those who have made substantial contributions to the work in a responsible and accountable way. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to make sure that only suitable co-authors are listed and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript as well as given their consent for it to be submitted.

Once a manuscript is accepted for publication in Swrjilu, all authors Declaration Form.

Conflict of Interest

must  sign the Authors’

Peer-reviewed articles uphold the principles of the scientific method; therefore, authors must follow established ethical standards. Authors must disclose any conflicts of interest and state all funding sources that supported their work.
