Publication Ethics

Journal Karbazon applies ethical conduct for each party involved in publishing a manuscript, including the author, the editorial board, and the reviewers.

Plagiarism check

Authors must submit a plagiarism checker result along with the submitted manuscript. The editorial board will only consider processing the manuscript with at least 80% originality in the main sections, not including the Reference Section. One of the following tools is recommended for plagiarism checking.

Ethical Guidelines

All authors must abide by academic ethical conduct. All the scientific methods and arguments must be supported and embody adequate citations. Reproducing figures, tables, and data must get permission from previous authors or publishers. We acknowledge responsibilities and guardianship duties over all publishing phases. We will ensure that editorial judgments are neither impacted nor influenced by advertising, reprint, or other commercial revenue.

Publication decisions

The editorial board is responsible for selecting the manuscript to be published. The decision is based on the validity of the work in question and its significance to the readers. The editorial policies, copyright infringement, and plagiarism may serve as a guide for the editors. The editorial board may consult the reviewers when deciding on this issue.

Fair play

Editorial board members and reviewers evaluate a manuscript solely on their intellectual content regardless of the author's race, gender, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality

The editorial board members and any editorial staff must not disclose any information related to a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding authors, reviewers, editorial advisers, and the publisher.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used for any purposes without the author's express written consent.

 

DUTIES OF REVIEWERS

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer reviewers assist the editorial board in making editorial decisions. Positive feedback from reviewers is encouraged to assist the author in improving the manuscript. All communication is conducted through editorial contacts.

Promptness

Selected reviewers who feel unqualified to review the manuscript or cannot do the refereeing promptly should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that the authors have not cited. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the appropriate citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published article of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and conflict of interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts with conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

 

DUTIES OF AUTHORS

Reporting standards

Authors of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. It should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.

Originality and plagiarism

Authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works and must appropriately cite or quote if using the work and/or words of others.

Multiple, redundant, or concurrent publications

Authors should only submit manuscripts describing the same research in one journal at any one time. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgement of sources

Proper acknowledgement of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work.

Authorship of the paper

Only individuals who significantly contributed to the conception, design, implementation, or interpretation of the reported study should be given the privilege of authorship. Co-authors should be named for everyone who contributed significantly. Those people who have contributed to the research endeavour in meaningful ways should be recognized or identified as contributors when applicable. The corresponding author is responsible for making sure that the manuscript has all necessary co-authors, none of whom should be, and that all co-authors have seen, approved, and agreed to the paper's submission for publication.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published works

When authors discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they must promptly notify the journal editor and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
