International Journal of Social Sciences & Economic Environment is committed to supporting stringent peer review process, scientific , ethical and quality standards in publishing and as such we work hard to educate researchers, authors, board members, editors and reviewers on understanding and meeting those standards, as a team. International Journal of Social Sciences & Economic Environment follows the COPE Best Practice guidelines and this statement is based on the guidelines and standards developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE): http://publicationethics.org/
|
- Double-blind peer review processes are used to assure the highest levels of quality and fairness in the publishing policy.
- To ensure the quality of our peer review procedure, the International Journal of Social Sciences & Economic Environment (IJSSEE) assigns it to members of our editorial board and/ or eminent reviewers.
- All authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to declare any possible conflicts of interest when submitting their work to the journal. A conflict of interest is defined as any interest or connection, financial or otherwise, that might potentially impact objectivity.
- International Journal of Social Sciences & Economic Environment (IJSSEE) is not a registered member of the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE). But it follows the best practices as defined by the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE) and is open to the views and opinions of authors, reviewers and editorial board members. The International Journal of Social Sciences & Economic Environment (IJSSEE) adheres to the highest academic integrity standards and always follows COPE guidelines (COPE Guidelines: https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Guidelines ). So, the provisions address ethical issues for Journal Editors as recommended and advised by Journal's advisory committee and other standard sources/practices.
- From 2021, the editorial board of the Journal keeps a close eye on things like plagiarism, fabrication, and other unethical practices. The journal has requested a write-up from authors in the form of percentages of text similarity. Executive members have now double-checked such similarities with the help of the Journal's Turnitin plagiarism software. The Statement on Publication Ethics & Malpractice thoroughly explains all other important facts relating to numerous misbehaviour categories.
- The International Journal of Social Sciences & Economic Environment (IJSSEE) sets quality standards for the acceptance of appropriate research and review articles. The journal always welcomes the views and suggestions from authors and editorial board members to maintain and improve the standard of the journal. Our team follows a set of processes, which encourage the accuracy and clarity of research and review papers, including technical editing if required. All such processing is carried out by a team of experts, including the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors and members of the Editorial Board, and their decision is binding and final.
- 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 (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.
- Regarding legal, copyright infringement, and plagiarism problems, the Editors are directed by the journal's policies and bound by any legal obligations that may be in effect.
- A conflict of interest occurs when an author's or reviewer's professional judgement and impartiality are harmed or influenced by money or other personal factors. To minimise bias, authors and reviewers should state any conflicts of interest relevant to the work under consideration (i.e., financial and personal ties that can interfere with the interpretation of the work).
- Without the author's explicit written approval, any unpublished materials described in a submitted paper may not be utilised in any editor's research.
- When an editor receives ethical objections about a submitted manuscript or a published article, he or she should work with the publisher to take reasonable action. Such measures typically entail contacting the manuscript or paper's author and giving due consideration to the respective complaint or claim(s) made. However, they may also entail additional communication with relevant institutions and research bodies, and, if the complaint is upheld, the publication of a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note, as appropriate, even if it is discovered years after publication.
- The authors will be notified of their misconduct and given the opportunity to explain their actions if sufficient evidence is discovered to support any allegations of wrongdoing on their side. The paper may be rejected or retracted by the journal and deleted from the journal website if the author(s) cannot adequately defend the case.
- Authors who have committed misconduct will be notified and given an opportunity to explain their actions if sufficient proof is uncovered. Authors who are unable to present their argument adequately risk having their paper rejected or retracted by their journal and then deleted from the publication's website.

| Misconduct Handling |
|
(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.

| 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. |
