Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement
Publication Ethics is an important part of the scientific publishing process. In order to maintain the highest standards of publication, IASR Publication has implemented extensive guidelines highlighting the responsibilities of editors, reviewers and authors. When an author submits a manuscript for publication consideration, he or she agrees to abide by publication requirements of International Academic and Scientific Research Publication.
*Agree that his or her manuscript presents work that is original, not plagiarized; that he or she has not submitted the manuscript under review for publication elsewhere; and that he/she will not submit the manuscript under review to another publication during the review period.
*Take full responsibility for the work he or she submits to and publishes with the International Academic & Scientiëc Research Publication.
The following are problems in the ethics of publication that every author should be familiar with. Violations of any of the following ethical principles may incur sanctions described below.
Plagiarism
All journals published by IASR Publication are committed to publishing only original material, i.e., material that has neither been published nor is under review elsewhere. IASR Publication’s journals as a participant of plagiarism pro software tools, to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other author(s), whether published or unpublished, will incur plagiarism sanctions.
Duplicate Submission
Manuscripts that are found to have been published elsewhere, or to be under review elsewhere, will incur duplicate submission/publication sanctions. If author(s) have used their own previously published work, or work that is currently under review, as the basis for a submitted manuscript, they are required to cite the previous work and indicate how their submitted manuscript offers novel contributions beyond those of the previous work.
Data Sharing, Fabrication and Falsification
IASR encourages authors to share the data and other research work supporting the results in the paper by archiving it in an appropriate public repository. We strongly encourage that data generated by their research that supports your article be made available as soon as possible, wherever legally and ethically possible. Authors may provide a data availability statement, including a link to the repository they have used, in order that this statement can be published in their paper. All data that are publicly available and used in the writing of an article should be cited in the text and the reference list, whether they are data generated by the author(s) or by other researchers.
Submitted manuscripts that are found to have either fabricated or falsified experimental results, including the manipulation of images, will incur data fabrication and falsification sanctions.
Publisher's Role:
IASR Publication is committed to work with journal editors, defining clearly their relevant roles, in order to ensure appropriate decisions regarding publication procedures and maintaining the transparency of editorial decisions.
Penalty
In the event that there are documented violations of any of the above mentioned policies of IASR, regardless of whether or not the violations occurred in a journal published by IASR, the following rules will be applied:
Immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript.
Immediate rejection of every other manuscript submitted to any journal published by IASR by any of the authors of the infringing manuscript.
Prohibition against all of the authors for any new submissions to IASR, either individually or in combination with other authors of the infringing manuscript, as well as in combination with any other authors. This prohibition will be imposed for a minimum of 2 years.
Prohibition against all of the authors from serving on the Editorial Board of IASR Journal's.
In cases where the violations of the above policies are found to be particularly offensive/flagrant, the publisher reserves the right to impose additional restrictions beyond those described above.
Policies of IASR Journals
Open Access Policy:
All articles published in our journals have Creative Commons License Open Access by IASR is licensed under Creative Commons License a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
IASR Journals provides immediate open access to its content, on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Peer Review Policy:
The manuscripts submitted to IASR Publication will be reviewed for possible publication on the understanding that they have been submitted only to ‘IASR’ and have not been published, simultaneously submitted, or accepted before for publication elsewhere.
Once a manuscript is submitted to IASR, it is forwarded to journal-specific chief editors. The paper is first subjected to anti-plagiarism check. If the paper is found to be plagiarized, it is rejected and immediate communication made to the author to revise or resubmit or make other decisions. If it is plagiarism free, the editor deletes the authors’ details, codes it and sends the coded manuscript to three reviewers of the Particular Subject. Once the reviewers are through, they send back the manuscript to the editor with comments and the author is given a chance to make corrections as per the reviewers’ directions. After revision, the authors return the revised manuscript to the editor who forwards them again to the first reviewers and the process begins again.
Once the article is corrected and approved by a reviewer and editorial team for publication, it is published in specific journal.
The peer-review process is double blinded, i.e., the reviewers do not know who the authors of the manuscript are and the authors do not have access to the information of who the peer-reviewers are.
As in the fast track process, we hired special reviewers. Once the article submission is done, we will check its plagiarism and forwarded to the Reviewer for urgent review and then send to the editor for final verification.
Note: that papers can be rejected at any stage should the author fail to make corrections as guided.
Plagiarism Policy:
Plagiarism is generally understood to be the “passing off” of another’s research or work as your own. Manuscripts are screened for plagiarism before, during, and after publication, and if found they will be rejected at any stage of Processing.
Editorial Policy:
1. A manuscript processed for publication with the understanding that it is being submitted to Journal only at that point in time and has not been published/simultaneously submitted/ already accepted elsewhere for the publication.
2. All manuscript received are duly acknowledged with an assigned manuscript number.
3. On submission, subject editor review all the submitted manuscript initially for suitability for formal review. Manuscript with plagiarism, serious scientific or technical error and lack of a significant message are rejected without proceeding for the formal peer review. Manuscripts that are not in the scope of Journal are also liable to be rejected at this stage.
4. Manuscript clearing first round of the screening will be considered for the review process and it can be sent to two or more reviewers.
5. Selection of these reviewers/referees is at the sole discretion of the editor.
6. Journal’s are strictly following the double blind review process, where neither the author nor the reviewer knows the identity of each other.
7. Members of the teams from Editorial board have the right to take final decision on publication after receiving comments from reviewers/Referees. The decision of acceptance, rejection or revision in manuscript will convey to the corresponding author.
8. In case of minor or major modifications the corresponding author is requested to send itemized response for each of comments of reviewers and send revise version of the manuscript to the editor.
9. The manuscript will not be accepted for publication until editor and reviewers/referees were satisfied with the manuscript.
10. Articles accepted would be copy edited for grammar, punctuation, print style, and format. Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author, with or without corrections must be returned within three days.
11. The corresponding author (or co-author designee) will serve on behalf of all co-authors as the primary correspondent with the editorial office during the submission and review process.

Correction and retraction:
On rare occasions, IASR Journals may make corrections so as to maintain the standard of the articles in its academic archive. Minor or major corrections will require authorization of the editor of the journal. Depending on the magnitude of the correction to be made, corrections may be made directly on the originally published article for cases of minor corrections. Major corrections will be made available through a new download link leaving the originally published article untouched. Reasons for the change will also be stated alongside. In other cases where the content of an article is observed to be violating certain rights or offensive we may have to remove that article from our site. Article may also be retracted due to scientific errors, misconduct, or plagiarism.
IASR Journals Retraction coverage is based, in giant part, on the suggestions and requirements developed with the aid of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Please see https://publicationethics.org/files/retraction%20guidelines.pdf
Withdrawal Policy:
If the withdrawal is within the 10 days of submission, the author is allowed to withdraw the manuscript without paying any withdrawal fee, however, if authors withdraw manuscripts any time after review and acceptance, a withdrawal fee will have to be paid.
However, If the authors/conference organizers/or a third party withdraw manuscripts any time after the final manuscript has already been submitted to IASR Publication for processing, the request will not be entertained without a withdrawal penalty, which is basically to cover the cost incurred and also to check such practice.
If the author still wants to withdraw the manuscript, the author needs to submit a written letter to IASR Publication stating the reasons for manuscript withdrawal along with (Rs 1000 or USD 20) as Manuscript Withdrawal Charges.
IASR Publication will provide the author with a formal letter of Manuscript Withdrawal. Withdrawal of manuscripts is only allowed after the withdrawal penalty has been fully paid to the IASR Publication by the authors or conference organizers.
The author can still continue to publish other manuscripts with IASR Publication provided they follow the journal submission guidelines.
Informed consent Policy:
The data and information of individuals (e.g., information obtained through a doctor–patient relationship) must be handled with the highest levels of confidence and discretion. It is therefore almost always necessary for authors to obtain written informed consent from any patients described in case reports and from those who are the subject of photographs. However, a report may be published without explicit consent if it meets all three of the following conditions: it is of great significance to public health (or is important in some other way); consent would be unusually difficult to obtain; and a reasonable individual would be unlikely to object to publication.
Research ethics Policy:
For research involving human subjects, authors must express their compliance to Good Clinical Practices (GCP) guidelines. Certificate of Approval (COA) issued by relevant Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee (EC) must be submitted along with the manuscripts. In the absence of the COA, the authors have to convince the Editorial Board that the study did not violate any ethical concerns on human subject research.
