Publication Ethics

At Academil Journal of Research in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in scholarly publishing. Our publication ethics are based on transparency, integrity, and respect for all stakeholders involved in the research process.

1. Authorship and Contribution: All listed authors should have made significant contributions to the research and writing process. Authorship should reflect the actual contributions, and any changes in authorship must be agreed upon by all co-authors.

2. Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is original and free from plagiarism. Proper citations should be provided for all referenced material, and the journal uses plagiarism detection tools to verify the originality of submitted manuscripts.

3. Data Integrity: Authors are responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of the data presented in their research. Any form of data manipulation or fabrication is strictly prohibited.

4. Conflict of Interest: Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial or personal conflicts of interest that could influence the research, review, or publication process.

5. Confidentiality: The journal ensures that the identities of reviewers and authors remain confidential during the peer-review process. Reviewers are also required to treat manuscripts with confidentiality and should not disclose or use any content without permission.

6. Fair and Transparent Peer Review: The journal follows a double-blind peer-review process, ensuring that reviews are unbiased and based solely on the quality and relevance of the work.

7. Ethical Research Practices: Authors must ensure that their research complies with ethical standards, especially in studies involving human or animal subjects. Necessary approvals from institutional review boards or ethics committees should be obtained and documented.

8. Handling of Ethical Complaints: Journal takes any claims of unethical behavior seriously. Complaints related to plagiarism, data falsification, or other ethical breaches will be investigated thoroughly, and appropriate actions, including retractions or corrections, will be taken if needed.
