The International Journal of Social Sciences & Economic Environment is committed to maintain ethical and quality standards in publishing and as such we work hard to educate board members, editors and reviewers on Misconduct Handling & Complaints Process as a team.
(i) If a reviewer or reader points out any misbehaviour, the journal examines the matter and takes necessary action based on the evidence(s) available.
(ii) Once sufficient evidence has been uncovered to substantiate the misconduct, the author(s) are notified of the misbehaviour and requested to explain within a certain time limit.
(iii) The publisher, in concert with the editors, shall take all relevant actions and revise the paper in issue in situations of claimed or proved scientific misconduct, fraudulent publishing, or plagiarism. In the most serious cases, this may entail the quick publishing of an erratum, addendum, clarification, or retraction of the published work.
(iv) The publisher will make reasonable efforts to detect and prevent publishing articles that may include potential misconduct and will not promote such misconduct or allow publication of the concerned work under any circumstances.
(v) All authors must follow the terms and conditions as well as the International Journal of Social Sciences & Economic Environment's decision(s) on any possible or actual misbehaviour.
Complaints process:
Although this is not always practicable, the journal is for authors to address such issues between themselves. The complainant must be informed that the problem will not be examined until the journal editor notifies the corresponding author or author and the institution or firm where the study was conducted of the complaint. Unless the author gives an acceptable explanation, the editor should inform the author that the issue may be addressed to the university or firm where the study was conducted and any other relevant institution or organisation (for example, a funding agency). In this fact-finding phase, the editor may want to solicit the opinions and comments of other parties who are likely to be familiar with the facts asserted by the complaint.
Plagiarism Policy:
To plagiarise is to take another author's thoughts or phrases" and portray them as one's own original work by wrongfully appropriating and stealing and publishing. Journal of Experimental Research and Review strongly condemns this kind of unauthorised copying.
Plagiarism is defined as follows:
- Changing the words but replicating the sentence structure of a source without providing a reference is considered plagiarism.
- Copying words or ideas from someone else without providing reference is considered plagiarism.
- Using someone else's work as your own is unethical.
- Putting your name on someone else's essay or effort is considered plagiarism.
- Failure to enclose a quote inside quotation marks.
- Falsely identifying the source of a quote.
- Plagiarism cannot be prevented only by altering the terms of a source. No matter how significantly you modify the context or presentation of a source's basic concept, you have plagiarised it if you have not mentioned it. This is true even if you have kept the source's essential idea. The majority of instances of plagiarism, on the other hand, may be prevented simply by crediting sources.
Plagiarism may typically be avoided by simply declaring that particular content has been taken and giving your readers the information they need to locate the original source.
Declaratory statement against plagiarism, Upon submitting a work for consideration for publication in the International Journal of Experimental Research and Review, the author/authors (all authors of the article) guarantee that:
(i) To ensure that all sources consulted in the writing of the article or project have been recognized and properly cited, writers, sign a declaration before submitting their work for publication.
(ii) Using another person's idea or published work in order to pass it off as one's own is plagiarism, and authors are well aware that doing so is unlawful and bad. They also understand what plagiarism is and how it works. The students are also aware that plagiarism is defined as the intentional appropriation of another person's idea or published work in order to pass it off as one's own.
(iii) Unless otherwise stated, the author(s) take full responsibility for the work they have done, the material in the article, and any errors or omissions in the citations.
Action Against Plagiarism
(i) The double-blind peer-review process is used to ensure the highest quality and fair policy of evaluation and publication process to maintain the highest ethical standards and avoid plagiarism. Submitted research articles are assessed and reviewed by specialist Reviewers (at least one from India and one from abroad) as invited for specific discipline using the double-blind peer review process to ensure the highest quality and fair policy of evaluation and publication process to maintain the highest ethical standards.
(ii) Executive members have now double-checked such similarities with the help of the Journal's Turnitin plagiarism software.
(iii) Provide the author/authors with precise information.
