Publication Ethics
Publication Ethics
The International Journal of Health Research and Development (IJHRD) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity. This statement is based on internationally recognized ethical publishing principles, including the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Duties of Editors
Editors are responsible for making fair, transparent, and objective editorial decisions based on the scientific quality, originality, relevance, and contribution of submitted manuscripts. Editors must ensure that all manuscripts are evaluated without discrimination based on nationality, gender, institutional affiliation, religion, ethnicity, or political views. Editors are also responsible for maintaining confidentiality throughout the editorial and peer-review process.
Duties of Reviewers
Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, and timely evaluations of manuscripts. Reviewers should assess the originality, methodology, clarity, validity, and significance of the research. Reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts and should not use any unpublished information for personal advantage. Reviewers should decline the review invitation if they have a conflict of interest or lack the relevant expertise.
Duties of Authors
Authors must ensure that submitted manuscripts are original, accurate, and free from plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, or duplicate publication. Authors should present their research clearly and honestly, provide sufficient methodological detail, and properly cite all sources used in the study. All authors listed in the manuscript must have made substantial contributions to the research and approved the final version for publication.
Originality and Plagiarism
All manuscripts submitted to IJHRD must be original works and must not have been previously published or submitted simultaneously to another journal. The editorial office may use plagiarism detection software to check manuscript similarity. Manuscripts with unacceptable similarity levels, plagiarism, or unethical text reuse may be rejected or returned to the authors for correction.
Data Accuracy and Integrity
Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the data presented in their manuscripts. Fabrication, falsification, selective reporting, image manipulation, or misrepresentation of research findings are considered serious violations of publication ethics. Authors may be requested to provide raw data for editorial review when necessary.
Authorship and Contribution
Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, data analysis, or interpretation of the study. Contributors who do not meet authorship criteria should be acknowledged appropriately. Any changes in authorship after submission must be approved by all authors and justified to the editorial office.
Conflict of Interest
Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial, personal, institutional, or professional relationships that may influence the manuscript evaluation or publication process. If no conflict of interest exists, authors should clearly state this in the manuscript.
Ethical Approval and Informed Consent
Research involving human participants, patient data, biological samples, or sensitive information must obtain ethical approval from a recognized ethics committee. Authors must state the name of the ethics committee, approval number, and approval date in the manuscript. Informed consent must be obtained from participants when required.
Duplicate Submission and Redundant Publication
Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. Manuscripts that substantially overlap with previously published work without proper citation or justification may be considered redundant publication and may be rejected.
Corrections, Retractions, and Withdrawals
IJHRD reserves the right to issue corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions when ethical violations, major errors, or unreliable findings are identified after publication. Withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing with clear justification and are subject to editorial approval.
