Publication Ethics Statement

At Journal of Research for International Educators (JoRIE), we are committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and take all possible measures against any publication malpractices. Authors who submit their manuscripts to our journal affirm that their work is original and has not been published elsewhere. The following principles guide our publication ethics:

  1. Authorship and Contribution: All authors listed on a manuscript must have significantly contributed to the research. The corresponding author ensures that all co-authors have approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

  2. Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original and properly cite or quote the work and/or words of others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

  3. Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data if possible.

  4. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior.

  5. Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

  6. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: 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 manuscript.

  7. Fundamental Errors in Published Works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their 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.

  8. Reporting Standards: Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper.

  9. Ethical Oversight: Research involving human subjects or animals must have been approved by an appropriate ethics committee and must comply with all relevant laws and institutional guidelines.

By adhering to these principles, the Journal of Research for International Educators (JoRIE) aims to maintain the integrity of the academic record and foster a culture of ethical research and publication.
