Authors Ethics
Authors Ethics:
- Taking the ethics of scientific research outlined in the Unified Regulations for Scientific Research into account, and adhering to recognized research norms.
- Respecting the intellectual property rights of others and avoiding plagiarism. It is prohibited to quote anything from the work of others and attribute it to one's self, or present it without quotation marks or documentation, or make a slight change to the original text and attach it without quotation such that the reader thinks that it is his writing and from his own thoughts; this is a form of plagiarism.
- Not using exclusive information without written consent from the entity that owns it.
- Providing access to study guides whenever the Journal requests it, while maintaining their confidentiality.
- Keeping honesty in transmitting knowledge, which implies not intentionally fabricating material or research opinions. The author will bear the consequences of this from both literary and legal aspects.
- Adhering to complete accuracy in citations, in accordance with the established citation rules (the Chicago system, with amendments, as approved by the Journal).
- Adhering to neutrality and objectivity; this is achieved by staying away from personal inclinations in everything related to research.
- Avoiding attempts to influence the editorial board members, and not attempting to communicate with them in order to be distinguished from other researchers at the time of review or publication.
- Taking originality in research into account, it may not be published in another journal, and it may not be republished later or submitted at the same time of its submission in another journal, and a part of it may not be published in any other medium, whether by completely copying it, changing the title of the study, or changing some of its parts.
- Not being biased in the research results, but rather affirming them as they are without modification or change, and not establishing inaccurate conclusions influenced by personal inclinations.
- Being committed to amending and improving the research in light of the reviewers’ comments.
