Publication ethics is a crucial part of maintaining the integrity and quality of scholarly work. Every author, editor, reviewer, and publisher has a moral and professional responsibility to ensure that the publication process is conducted honestly, transparently, and free from unethical practices.

  1. Authors must ensure that the submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere.

  2. All sources or references used must be properly cited according to academic standards.

  3. Authors are prohibited from committing plagiarism, whether partial or complete.

  4. All individuals who have made significant contributions to the research must be listed as authors, while those who contributed indirectly should be acknowledged in the acknowledgements section.

  5. Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could affect the results or interpretation of the community service.
