The Global Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Scholarly Innovation is committed to maintaining high standards of academic integrity, transparency, research rigor, and ethical responsibility in scholarly publishing.
The journal’s editorial and publication practices are guided by the principles and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), expecting authors, reviewers, and editors to uphold honesty, fairness, and accountability throughout the publication process.
Authors must submit original, accurate, and academically sound research. Plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, duplicate submission, and inappropriate authorship practices are unacceptable. All contributors must be credited, and funding or conflicts disclosed.
Editors make impartial publication decisions based on manuscript originality, scholarly significance, methodological quality, and relevance, independent of commercial, institutional, or personal influences.
Peer reviewers evaluate manuscripts objectively, maintain strict confidentiality, provide constructive scholarly feedback, and disclose potential conflicts of interest before accepting review assignments.
Research involving human participants, animals, or sensitive data must comply with applicable ethical standards, institutional review board (IRB) approvals, and informed consent requirements.
The journal strictly prohibits unethical publication practices to preserve the reliability of the multidisciplinary scholarly record:
| Plagiarism & Duplication | Uncredited copying of literature, self-plagiarism, and citation manipulation are strictly detected and rejected using similarity screening tools. |
| Data Fabrication & Falsification | Fabricating or manipulating experimental data, statistical output, qualitative records, or research results is subject to formal investigation. |
| Inappropriate Authorship | Authorship must reflect genuine intellectual contributions; ghost or gift authorship without direct scholarly work is prohibited. |
| Complaints & Appeals | Authors and readers may submit appeals or misconduct complaints through official channels; all cases are assessed fairly and confidentially. |
Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial, professional, personal, or institutional relationships that could influence the research or editorial evaluation. Proper disclosure and proactive management of conflicts of interest maintain public trust and scholarly objectivity.
When significant errors, unreliable findings, or ethical violations are identified after publication, the journal acts swiftly to issue formal corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions, guided by available evidence and COPE guidelines.
Commitment to Ethical Publishing: The Global Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Scholarly Innovation seeks to preserve the reliability of the scholarly record through responsible editorial oversight, transparent publication practices, and appropriate action when ethical concerns arise.
