IJAIDR | Publication Ethics

For the benefit of authors, peer reviewers, and the integrity of our publications, we maintain strict ethical standards. Manuscripts not meeting our scientific and style criteria are rejected without review after an initial editorial screening, based on informal advice from subject matter experts. Once approved for review, author identities are removed from the manuscript to ensure unbiased evaluation by two ad hoc reviewers. Reviewers' identities are also masked from each other to prevent bias.

Editors make final decisions based on reviewers' comments, including acceptance with or without revisions, or rejection. Authors are notified of decisions without reviewer identities being revealed. Authors are responsible for maintaining accurate data records related to their manuscripts and must confirm that the work is original and not under consideration elsewhere. They must also declare any conflicts of interest and notify the editor of significant errors post-publication.

We adhere to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines and expect authors to follow best practices in publication ethics. Authors retain copyright of their articles, subject to third-party copyright for images and other materials. Withdrawal of manuscripts is permitted under certain conditions, with withdrawal charges applicable after a specific stage in the publication process. Proper communication and adherence to our policies are essential for ethical and transparent publishing practices.

If convincing evidence of misconduct is discovered, we will take appropriate action to address the scientific record. This may include issuing corrections or, in severe cases, withdrawing the affected publication. Maintaining the integrity of the scientific record is paramount, and we are committed to upholding ethical standards in publishing.

Withdrawal Policy

Authors have the right to withdraw a manuscript after submission. If the withdrawal occurs within 7 days of the initial submission, there is no charge. However, once the article has been acknowledged or accepted in the peer review process, the author must pay 50% of the article processing charge (APC) to withdraw the manuscript, reflecting the time and resources expended.
Our open-access journal operates on a flat fee submission structure, which covers various publication processes, including support, maintenance, submission, peer review evaluation, editing, publication, submission to indexing organizations, and archiving for accessibility. This structure ensures a sustainable and legally and ethically sound model.
To avoid unnecessary withdrawals, authors should adhere to the following guidelines before requesting a withdrawal:
Confirm authorship details and integrity of the manuscript before submission.
Obtain permission from academic advisors or authorities before submitting manuscripts.
Follow publication ethics guidelines.
Withdraw previously published articles from other publishers before submitting to our journals.
Do not withdraw a manuscript because it is accepted by another journal.
Ensure the accuracy and integrity of the manuscript's content before submission.
It's essential for authors to follow these guidelines to maintain the integrity of the publication process and to prevent unnecessary withdrawals.
