Assa'ada International Research Journal (AIRJ) is committed to publishing research of the highest ethical and scholarly standard. The duties below apply to every author who submits work to AIRJ, from the moment a manuscript is submitted through to publication and beyond. By submitting to AIRJ, authors agree to observe these responsibilities, which are drawn from widely accepted standards in academic publishing and from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines.
Following these duties helps ensure the integrity of the scholarly record, protects the reputation of authors, and maintains the trust of readers who rely on published research.
Authors of original research reports should present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable. Review and professional publication articles should also be accurate and objective. Editorial ‘opinion’ works should be clearly identified as such.
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review. In any event, they should be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original. If the work or words of others have been used, this must be appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from passing off another’s paper as one’s own, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper without attribution, to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms is unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.
An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time is unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable. An author should not submit for consideration in another journal a previously published paper.
Proper acknowledgement of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in shaping the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved.
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
Any change to the author list, whether an addition, deletion, or reordering, must be approved by all listed authors and clearly justified to the editor after initial submission. Requests received after acceptance will be considered only in exceptional circumstances and may delay publication.
If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that carry any unusual hazards, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the author must ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee has approved them. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
Authors must not manipulate images, figures, or illustrations in a way that misrepresents the underlying data or creates a false impression of the results. Any adjustment made for clarity, such as brightness or contrast, must be disclosed and applied uniformly to the entire image, not selectively to specific elements.
Where a manuscript includes material such as text, tables, figures or images reproduced from another source, the author is responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions from the copyright holder and providing appropriate attribution within the manuscript.
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their work. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications or registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest stage possible.
Authors are expected to comply with all editorial and ethical policies published by AIRJ, including formatting, citation, and submission guidelines. Authors should respond to editor and reviewer queries within the requested timeframe wherever possible.
If concerns are raised about the accuracy or integrity of published work, the corresponding author must cooperate fully with the editor. This includes providing raw data or additional information as needed to help resolve the matter.
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his or her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the author’s obligation to promptly retract or correct the paper, or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.
Related policies: Authors are also expected to observe our Review Policy, Plagiarism Policy, and Copyright Policy. For formatting and submission requirements, see the Submission Guidelines.
