Publication ethics:
Publication ethics are of utmost importance in scholarly publishing, as they ensure the integrity and credibility of research findings. As a researcher and author, I fully acknowledge the responsibility that comes with the publication of scholarly work and adhere to the following ethical standards:
Plagiarism: I ensure that all material presented in my manuscript is my own work, or properly cited and attributed to the original source. I do not engage in any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, and strive to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity.
Authorship: I acknowledge all individuals who have made significant contributions to my research and manuscript, and ensure that they are listed as co-authors or acknowledged appropriately. I do not engage in gift authorship or honorary authorship, and ensure that all authors have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript.
Data Fabrication and Falsification: I do not fabricate or falsify data, and ensure that all research findings are based on valid and reliable data sources. I follow appropriate research methods and procedures, and acknowledge any limitations or shortcomings in my research.
Conflict of Interest: I disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including financial or personal, that may influence my research or manuscript. I ensure that all funding sources are acknowledged and that any potential conflicts of interest do not compromise the integrity of my research or the objectivity of my manuscript.
Peer Review: I respect the peer review process and provide constructive feedback to reviewers. I do not engage in any form of manipulation or coercion of reviewers, and acknowledge their contributions appropriately.
By adhering to these ethical standards, I aim to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in my field and maintain the trust of the academic community. I believe that scholarly publishing is a collective responsibility, and as such, I strive to promote ethical practices and ensure the integrity and credibility of research findings.
