Ethical Standards for Publication

Journal Intelektual follows guidance from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) when setting editorial standards and addressing concerns about research or publication misconduct.

Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

Responsibilities

 Authors

  • Originality and exclusive submission. Submit original work and provide the required statement confirming that it is original, unpublished, free of competing interests, and under consideration only at this journal. Keep the submission exclusive to this journal while it is under consideration. Contact the editorial office to formally withdraw it if you intend to submit it elsewhere. Avoid redundant publication of the same findings.
  • Accurate reporting. Report the data, methods, and findings accurately. Fabrication, falsification, and misleading omissions breach the journal’s publication ethics.
  • Authorship. List as authors those who made significant contributions to the study or manuscript. All listed authors should review and approve the final version and agree to its submission for publication.
  • Attribution and permission. Cite the work and data you use. Obtain written permission before publishing information obtained privately, including through correspondence or conversations.

 Reviewers

  • Review manuscripts that match your expertise. Notify the editorial office if you have a conflict of interest or if the assignment falls outside your expertise.
  • Assess the work objectively. Support your comments with reasons and cite relevant sources when identifying overlap with previous work.
  • Keep manuscripts and information gained in review confidential. Obtain written permission from the authors before using unpublished material.

 Editors

  • Assign at least two qualified reviewers to each manuscript that enters double-blind peer review. Base editorial decisions on the merits of the manuscript and consider the reviewers’ recommendations. Treat authors fairly across affiliations and backgrounds.
  • Protect manuscript confidentiality, avoid using privileged information for personal advantage, and manage conflicts that could affect editorial judgment.
  • Assess potential plagiarism and copyright concerns. Respond to publication ethics complaints and take appropriate action on substantiated cases.

 Plagiarism and Attribution

Plagiarism includes presenting someone else’s work as your own and using another source’s text, ideas, data, or findings without attribution. Cite the original source when paraphrasing. Use quotation marks and a citation when reproducing wording directly.

 Reporting Concerns and Correcting the Record

Authors, reviewers, and readers can report suspected misconduct to the editorial office before or after publication. Include the manuscript or article details and any evidence that helps the editors assess the concern.

Authors who discover a significant error in their published article must promptly notify the Editor-in-Chief and cooperate with the journal on a correction or retraction as appropriate.
