Publication Ethics & Policies

IstoriyaJournal is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and ensuring the integrity of scholarly work. Our editorial process is built upon internationally recognized ethical guidelines, including those from COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors).

Plagiarism

Authors must ensure their manuscripts are original and properly cite all sources. Any form of plagiarism—whether published or unpublished—will result in immediate rejection or retraction of the paper.

Duplicate Submission

Authors are prohibited from submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously. Manuscripts under review or published elsewhere will not be considered.

Duplicate & Redundant Publication

Authors must avoid submitting or publishing content that significantly overlaps with previously published work without proper disclosure and citation.

Data Fabrication & Falsification

Falsifying or fabricating research data, figures, results, or conclusions is a serious ethical offense and will lead to rejection and future sanctions.

Improper Authorship & Contributorship

Authorship should only be credited to individuals who have made significant intellectual contributions. Others who contributed should be acknowledged appropriately.

Citation Manipulation

Adding irrelevant citations to boost metrics or visibility is considered unethical. IstoriyaJournal strictly prohibits citation manipulation practices.

Consequences for Ethical Violations

If any manuscript violates our ethics policies, the following actions will be taken:

  • Immediate rejection of the submitted manuscript.
  • Rejection of future submissions from all involved authors for a minimum of 3 years.
  • Ban from editorial or peer-review activities at IstoriyaJournal.

IstoriyaJournal takes publication ethics seriously to maintain the trust and integrity of our academic community. All submissions are subject to a rigorous editorial and peer-review process to ensure the highest quality standards.
