Research and Publication Ethics

All the editors, publishers, researchers, and peer reviewers of Techno-Press journals strongly encourage to carefully review and follow the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines:https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Guidelines.

1. Authorship

Authorship credit should be based on
    (1) Substantial contributors to the conception or design of the work or the acquisition, analysis
   or interpretation of data for the work,
    (2) Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content,
    (3) Final approval of the version to be published, and
    (4) Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related
   to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Authors should meet these four conditions after the initial submission of a manuscript and any changes whatsoever in authorship (adding author(s), deleting author(s), or re-arranging the order of authors) must be explained by a letter to the editor from the authors concerned. This letter must be signed by all authors on the paper. Techno-Press does not correct authorship after the final acceptance unless a mistake has been made by the editorial staff. Authorship may be changed before the final acceptance when the authorship correction is requested by all of the authors involved with the manuscript. The corresponding author takes primary responsibility for communication with the journal during the manuscript submission, peer review, and publication process. The corresponding author should be available throughout the submission and peer review process to respond to editorial queries in a timely manner, and should be available to respond to critiques of the work and cooperate with any requests from the journal for data or additional information or questions about the paper even after publication.

2. Originality, plagiarism and duplicate publication

Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. No part of the accepted manuscript should be duplicated in any other journal without the permission of the Editorial Board. Submitted manuscripts are checked for possible plagiarism or duplicate publication upon the paper’s arrival. If plagiarism or duplicate publication is detected, the manuscripts may be rejected, the authors will be announced in the journal, and their institutions will be informed. There will also be penalties for the authors. A letter of permission is required for any and all material that has been published previously. It is the responsibility of the author to request permission from the publisher for any material that is being reproduced. This requirement applies to text, figures, and tables.

3. Conflict of interest statement

The corresponding author must inform the editor of any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the authors’ interpretation of the data. Examples of potential conflicts of interest are financial support from or connections to companies, political pressure from interest groups, and academically related issues. In particular, all sources of funding applicable to the study should be explicitly stated.

4. Process for managing research and publication misconduct

When the journal faces suspected cases of research and publication misconduct, such as redundant publication, plagiarism, fraudulent or fabricated data, changes in authorship, undisclosed conflict of interest, ethical problems with a submitted manuscript, appropriation by a reviewer of an author’s idea or data, and complaints against editors, the resolution process will follow the flowchart provided by COPE, https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Flowcharts.
The discussion and decision on the suspected cases are carried out by the Editorial Board.

5. Editorial responsibilities

The Editorial Board will continuously work to monitor and safeguard publication ethics:
* Guidelines for retracting articles;
* Maintenance of the integrity of academic records;
* Preclusion of business needs from compromising intellectual and ethical standards;
* Publishing corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when needed; and
* Excluding plagiarized and fraudulent data.
The editors maintain the following responsibilities:
* Responsibility and authority to reject and accept articles;
* Avoid any conflict of interest with respect to articles they reject or accept;
* Promote the publication of corrections or retractions when errors are found; and
* Preserve the anonymity of reviewers.
