Ethical Publishing Practices
At Veritas Vox Publishing House, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and academic excellence in all our publications. Our ethical policies are guided by the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
All authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to uphold the following ethical standards:
- Originality and Plagiarism: Submitted manuscripts must be original, and not published elsewhere or under consideration by another journal. All submissions are subject to plagiarism checks using recognized software.
- Authorship and Contribution: Only individuals who have made substantial contributions to the conception, design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation of the study should be listed as authors.
- Data Integrity: Authors must present accurate data and maintain records for verification if requested. Fabrication, falsification, or misrepresentation of data constitutes unethical behavior.
- Editorial Responsibility: Editors ensure a fair and impartial review process and make decisions solely based on the manuscript’s academic merit, without discrimination.
- Reviewer Ethics: Reviewers must provide constructive feedback promptly, maintain confidentiality, and disclose any conflict of interest that might affect their objectivity.
- Research Ethics Compliance: Research involving human or animal subjects must adhere to ethical standards and be approved by an appropriate institutional review board or ethics committee.
