Publication Ethics
Publication Ethics & Malpractice Statement
The Journal of Advanced Global Research and Review (JAGRR) is firmly committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical publishing practices. The journal expects all authors, reviewers, editors, and editorial board members to adhere to established principles of publication ethics in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Any suspected cases of ethical misconduct are taken seriously and are investigated and addressed in line with COPE’s Principles of Transparency and Best Practice and the COPE Code of Conduct.
Duties and Responsibilities of Authors
Submission and Publication Fees
No fees are charged at the time of manuscript submission. An Article Processing Charge (APC) is applicable only after acceptance of the manuscript. The APC supports open-access publication and may be paid by the author, affiliated institution, or funding agency. Complete and transparent information regarding publication charges is clearly provided on the journal’s website.
Open Access Policy
All articles published in JAGRR are made freely and permanently accessible to the global research community. This policy ensures that:
- Readers have unrestricted access to the full text of all published articles, and
- Published content may be reused, distributed, or cited, provided proper attribution to the original source is given.
Data Access and Retention
Authors may be requested to provide original or supporting data during the editorial review process. Authors should be prepared to:
- Make such data publicly accessible where feasible, and
- Retain research data for a reasonable period following publication.
Reporting Standards
Authors must present an accurate, transparent, and objective account of their research. Manuscripts should include sufficient methodological detail and references to enable replication. Any form of data fabrication, falsification, or misrepresentation constitutes unethical behavior and is unacceptable.
Originality and Plagiarism
Submitted manuscripts must be original and unpublished. Proper citation must be provided for any work or text used from other sources. Plagiarism, data manipulation, and fraudulent research practices are strictly prohibited.
If ethical violations are identified post-publication, JAGRR will conduct an investigation and may issue corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions as necessary, and notify relevant institutions or funding agencies.
Multiple or Redundant Publication
Authors should not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously or publish substantially similar work elsewhere. Such practices are considered unethical.
Acknowledgment of Sources
All relevant sources that influenced the research must be appropriately cited. Proper acknowledgment of others’ work is mandatory.
Authorship Criteria
Authorship is limited to individuals who have made significant contributions to the research conception, design, execution, or interpretation. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring all listed authors approve the final manuscript and its submission.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Authors must disclose any financial or personal conflicts of interest that could influence the research or its interpretation, as well as all sources of funding.
Errors in Published Works
Authors must promptly inform the editor if a significant error or inaccuracy is discovered in their published work and cooperate in issuing corrections or retractions.
Human, Animal, and Hazard-Related Research
Studies involving human participants, animals, or hazardous materials must clearly state ethical approvals and identify any associated risks within the manuscript.
Duties and Responsibilities of Editors
Editorial Independence and Fairness
Editors evaluate manuscripts solely on academic merit, without discrimination based on personal or social characteristics of authors.
Confidentiality
Editors and editorial staff must maintain confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and related communications.
Conflicts of Interest
Editors must not use unpublished material from submitted manuscripts for personal research and must avoid handling manuscripts where conflicts of interest exist.
Publication Decisions
Editorial decisions are based on manuscript quality, originality, relevance, and significance. Editors may consult reviewers or editorial board members while adhering to legal and ethical standards.
Peer Review Management
Editors ensure a fair and unbiased peer-review process, selecting qualified reviewers and clearly communicating review policies to authors.
Duties and Responsibilities of Editors
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer reviewers assist editors in decision-making and provide constructive feedback to improve manuscript quality.
Timeliness
Reviewers should decline review assignments if they lack expertise or cannot complete the review within the required timeframe.
Objectivity and Professionalism
Reviews must be objective, evidence-based, and free from personal criticism.
Confidentiality
Manuscripts under review must be treated as confidential and not shared without editorial authorization.
Conflicts of Interest
Reviewers must disclose conflicts of interest and refrain from reviewing manuscripts where such conflicts exist.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant uncited literature and alert editors to potential overlap or similarity with existing publications.
