FOR AUTHORS

Ethics and Publication Malpractice

Ethics and publication practices are crucial aspects of the scholarly community to ensure the integrity, credibility and reliability of research. For SciTech-2027, participants and authors are expected to adhere to ethical standards and avoid publication malpractices. The key principles are set out below.

Ethical Guidelines

Authorship and Contributorship

  • Clearly define authorship criteria, ensuring that individuals who have made significant contributions are listed as authors.
  • Acknowledge the contributions of others who did not meet the criteria for authorship in the acknowledgement section.

Plagiarism

  • Avoid plagiarism by properly citing and referencing all sources used in the research.
  • Use plagiarism detection tools to ensure originality in the manuscript.

Data Integrity

  • Ensure the accuracy and integrity of research data.
  • Clearly present and describe the methods used in data collection and analysis.

Publication Malpractice Prevention

Commitment to integrity, transparency and ethical conduct in research and publication.

01

Multiple Submissions

  • Avoid submitting the same manuscript to multiple conferences or journals simultaneously.
  • Disclose if the manuscript is under consideration or has been published elsewhere.
03

Data Falsification and Fabrication

  • Present accurate and truthful data.
  • Do not manipulate or fabricate data to support desired outcomes.
05

Transparent Reporting

  • Clearly report all aspects of the research, including methods, results and limitations.
  • Avoid selective reporting to manipulate the perceived significance of results.
07

Retraction and Corrections

  • Promptly retract or correct any errors identified in published work.
  • Cooperate with editors and publishers to address any concerns about published research.
Research Integrity Our Shared Responsibility
02

Authorship Manipulation

  • Clearly define the roles and contributions of all authors.
  • Do not include individuals who did not contribute significantly to the research as authors.
04

Review Process Integrity

  • Maintain the integrity of the peer-review process by providing honest and constructive feedback.
  • Avoid conflicts of interest during the review process.
06

Redundant Publication

  • Do not submit or publish the same research in multiple outlets without proper disclosure.
  • Clearly state any prior presentations or publications related to the research.
08

Ethical Commitment

  • Uphold the highest ethical standards in all research and publication activities.
  • Report any suspected misconduct to the appropriate authorities.

Authors, reviewers and conference organizers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with ethical guidelines and collaborate to maintain the highest standards of integrity in research and publication.

Violation of ethical standards can have serious consequences for the individual researcher and the academic community as a whole.
