We are committed to upholding the principles set by COPE to prevent any misconduct. We strongly emphasize ensuring the originality of papers and avoiding plagiarism. Please review the Plagiarism Statement.
Authorship of contributions:
All authors must be listed and declared in the Cover letter form submitted with a paper. To be considered an author, an individual must have contributed significantly to the research or project, which must be confirmed in the final work. Those with an insignificant contribution may be acknowledged as a “contributor” in the paper’s acknowledgment section.
Duplicate submission:
Manuscripts must be unique and not submitted to any other journal without the reviewer’s approval. Submitting the same document to multiple journals or submitting several documents based on the same research is not allowed. This includes literal, substantial, or paraphrased copying, and any violation will result in immediate rejection and possible sanctions.
Citation manipulation:
Any submission found with citations intended to artificially increase the number of citations to a specific author’s work or articles published in a particular journal will be immediately rejected, and authors may face sanctions.
Data falsification:
Falsified or fabricated experimental data, including manipulated images, will be immediately rejected and may result in sanctions against the authors.
Sanctions:
Sanctions for policy violations may include immediate rejection of the manuscript, rejection of all future submissions to any journal published by Imperium Research Institute, publication embargo against all authors of the manuscript for a specific period, and the prohibition against any of the authors from serving on the Editorial Board of any journal published by Imperium Research Institute.
