Plagiarism

Plagiarism is not acceptable in IJCMAS submissions. Plagiarized content will not be considered for publication. Authors must not use the words, figures, or ideas of others without attribution. All sources must be cited at the point they are used, and reuse of wording must be limited and be attributed or quoted in the text.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

Directly copying text from other sources without attribution

Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.

Copying ideas, images, or data from other sources without attribution

Using an idea from another source with slightly modified language without attribution

Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will be rejected and the authors may incur sanctions. Any published articles may need to be corrected or retracted.

If plagiarism is detected during the peer review process, the manuscript may be rejected. If plagiarism is detected after publication, we may issue a correction or retract the paper, as appropriate. We reserve the right to inform authors' institutions about plagiarism detected either before or after publication.

We expect that editors and reviewers will be vigilant in their evaluation of IJCMAS submissions and will notify the journal about any plagiarism identified.

Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest (COIs, also known as 'competing interests') occur when issues outside research could be reasonably perceived to affect the neutrality or objectivity of the work or its assessment.

Potential conflicts of interest must be declared-whether or not they actually had an influence-to allow informed decisions. In most cases, this declaration will not stop work from being published nor will it always prevent someone from being involved in a review process.

IJCMAS Review Process

IJCMAS follows Double-Blind Peer Review: Reviewers do not know the identity of the author(s), & the author(s) do not know the identity of the reviewer.

The papers review process is a double-blind one, the review being done simultaneously by a minimum of two members of the international scientific committee. Articles in this journal have undergone a rigorous blind peer review system, based on initial editor screening and involving international refereeing, ensures that articles meet the highest standards of quality. The review criteria considered are the novelty and originality of the paper, the quality of research methodology, the organization and clarity, the reference to prior work, and the quality of results. The result of the review process can be accepted, accept with revision, or reject. Authors will be informed of the outcome of the review process. Only articles accepted by the scientific committee will be published.
