Publication Ethics:
The International Journal of Scientific Research and Management (IJSRM) is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics. All authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to abide by the principles of ethical research and publishing, including but not limited to:
- Originality and plagiarism: All submissions must be original and not duplicate or closely resemble any previously published work. Any instances of plagiarism will be taken seriously and may result in the rejection of the submission or retraction of a published article.
- Confidentiality: The contents of submissions and any information about the review process must be kept confidential. Reviewers and editors must not share or discuss the contents of a submission with any third party.
- Conflicts of interest: All authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any conflicts of interest that may affect the impartiality of their work. Conflicts of interest may include financial, professional, or personal relationships that could influence the interpretation or judgment of the research.
- Data fabrication and manipulation: Submissions must not contain falsified or manipulated data. Any instances of data fabrication or manipulation will result in the rejection of the submission or retraction of a published article.
Open Access Policy:
IJSRM is an open-access journal, which means that all articles are freely available to the public without any subscription fees or other barriers. Our open-access policy is intended to promote the dissemination of research and to make it accessible to a wider audience.
Publication & Peer Review Policy:
All submissions to IJSRM undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality and validity of the research. Our review process is designed to be transparent, fair, and impartial, and all submissions are evaluated on the basis of their originality, significance, and scientific merit. Reviewers are chosen based on their expertise in the relevant field, and they are expected to provide constructive and critical feedback to the authors.
Editorial Process:
The editorial process at IJSRM is designed to ensure the quality and integrity of the research published in the journal. All submissions are initially screened by the editors to ensure that they meet the basic requirements for publication. If the submission is deemed suitable, it is then sent out for peer review. Based on the feedback from the reviewers, the editors make a decision to accept, reject, or request revisions to the submission. If the submission is accepted for publication, it undergoes a final review by the editors before it is published online.
We strive to provide a fast and efficient editorial process, and we are committed to ensuring the quality and accuracy of the research published in IJSRM."
