Publication Ethics & Malpractice Statement
Codes of conduct for all parties involved in the peer review and publishing cycle.
AJETAS adheres to the core code of conduct guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). We maintain the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and scientific accountability.
Ethical Codes for Authors
- Originality: Authors must certify that their manuscript is entirely their own original work. Direct copies or close paraphrasing must be cited with quotation marks and credit references.
- Data Integrity: Fabrication, falsification, or selective omission of experimental measurements is an ethical violation. Raw data should be retained and provided for reviewer audit if requested.
- Multiple Submissions: Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously constitutes misconduct. A paper must be officially rejected or withdrawn before submission elsewhere.
- Authorship Attribution: Only individuals who made significant contributions to the planning, model designs, execution, or telemetry analysis should be listed as co-authors.
