Process for identification of and dealing with allegations of research misconduct

 | Post date: 2024/08/29 | 
Journals published by Afarand have a well-defined mechanism for handling allegations; however, they are brought to the journal's or publisher's attention. Pre- and post-publication misconduct is taken seriously in Afarand journals, and their policies outline how to handle allegations from whistleblowers.
The publisher and editors of IJWPH are reasonable in identifying and preventing the publication of papers where research misconduct has occurred, including plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification/fabrication, among others. In doing so, IJWPH follows COPE’s guidelines when dealing with allegations. These guidelines are in the following categories:
- Cooperation between research institutions and journals on research integrity cases: guidance from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) [PDF, 178 KB. Version 1, March 2012]
- Retraction guidelines [PDF, 121 KB. Version 1, September 2009.]
- Guidelines for the Board of Directors of Learned Society Journals [PDF, 66 KB. Version 1, October 2008.]
- Sharing of Information Among Editors-in-Chief Regarding Possible Misconduct [PDF, 138 KB. Version 1, March 2015.]
