ETHICS

Authors should observe high standards with respect to publication ethics as set out by the Commission on Publication Ethics (COPE). Falsification or fabrication of data, plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the authors’ own work without proper citation, and misappropriation of the work are all unacceptable practices. Any cases of ethical misconduct are treated very seriously and will be dealt with in accordance with the COPE guidelines. Manuscripts submitted to the journal may be checked for originality using anti-plagiarism software.

PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is a serious issue and very easy to avoid.  Plagiarized articles are not allowed in any publication by IJAESA. Similarity index of the manuscript should not be more than 15% in any case. IJAESA is using plagiarism software for the initial check but still if later on any article found to be plagiarized then appropriate action will be taken and that article might be retracted.

 

DIGITAL ARCHIVING AND PRESERVATION

In order to digitally preserve all published scholarly content, IJAESA obligates to submit the metadata of all its journals to various archives databases and other repositories such as Repec. This is to make sure that the published scholarly content by IJAESA remains available to the community despite any accidental loss of data in its personal archival records. IJAESA has further made sure that the metadata of all of its journals is compliant to well-known repository services and their digital crawlers may regularly collect it for record and preservation. The Journal archives all published papers and the owner of the Journal, IJAESA shall guarantee to maintain the database by itself or through a third party even if the Journal publishing should be terminated.
