Addressing Misconduct in Scholarly Publishing
The Academic Research Journal of Science and Technology (ARJST) is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity in scholarly work. We take misconduct, including fabrication and falsification, extremely seriously and will act decisively according to COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines.
Examples of misconduct include (but are not limited to):
- Affiliation misrepresentation
- Breaches in copyright or use of third-party material without appropriate permissions
- Citation manipulation
- Duplicate submission or publication
- “Ethics dumping”
- Image or data manipulation/fabrication
- Peer review manipulation
