Ethics & Malpractice Guidelines
Plagiarism: Plagiarism involves using someone else’s work, ideas, or words without proper acknowledgment or citation. This includes verbatim copying, paraphrasing without citation, and self-plagiarism (reusing one’s own previously published work without proper attribution).
Fabrication and Falsification: Fabrication refers to the invention or manipulation of data, results, or research findings. Falsification involves the selective omission or alteration of data to misrepresent the truth. Both acts are serious breaches of research integrity and are unacceptable.
Duplicate Publication: Duplicate publication, also known as redundant or multiple publication, occurs when authors submit the same manuscript or significant parts of it to multiple journals without proper acknowledgment. This includes submitting manuscripts that overlap substantially with previously published work.
Authorship Misconduct: Authorship misconduct includes guest authorship (including individuals who have not made substantial contributions to the research) and ghost authorship (excluding individuals who have made significant contributions from the list of authors). Ethical Violations: Ethical violations encompass any actions that violate ethical standards or guidelines for research involving human subjects, animals, or sensitive data. This includes failure to obtain appropriate ethical approval, informed consent, or disclosure of conflicts of interest.
Citation Manipulation: Citation manipulation involves artificially inflating citation counts by including irrelevant or false citations, or coercing authors to cite specific papers for the purpose of boosting their citation metrics.
Image Manipulation: Image manipulation includes the alteration or fabrication of images (e.g., figures, graphs, photographs) to misrepresent research findings. This includes digitally enhancing, modifying, or falsifying images without proper disclosure.
Breach of Confidentiality: Breach of confidentiality occurs when confidential information obtained during the peer review process is disclosed without authorization. This includes sharing manuscripts, reviewer identities, or confidential communications with third parties.
PEER REVIEW PROCESS
- All of our conference Papers follows Double Blind Peer Review and maximum similarity only allowed 15% Turnitin Plagiarism Software.
REVIEW GUIDELINES
- Peer review is an essential part of the publication process, and it ensures that ICNMD-2024 maintains the highest quality standards for its published papers.
- All manuscripts submitted to our conference are strictly and thoroughly peer-reviewed by experts.
- Immediately after submission, the conference Editor will perform a technical pre-check of the manuscript. A suitable academic editor will be notified of the submission and invited to perform an editorial pre-check and recommend reviewers.
- Academic editors can decide to continue with the peer review process, reject a manuscript, or request revisions before peer-review. In the case of continuing the peer review process, the Editorial Office will organize the peer review, which is performed by independent experts, and collect at least two review reports per manuscript. We ask authors for sufficient revisions (with a second round of peer review, when necessary) before a final decision is made. The final decision is made by an academic editor (usually the Editor-in-Chief/Editorial Board Member of a Special Issue). Accepted manuscripts are then copy-edited and English-edited internally.
