The International Journal of Emerging Digital Systems and Engineering (IJEDSE) is committed to maintaining integrity, transparency, and ethical standards in scholarly publishing.
The journal’s 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 scientific accountability throughout the editorial process.
Authors must submit original, accurate, and scientifically valid research. Plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, duplicate publication, and inappropriate authorship practices are unacceptable. All relevant sources must be acknowledged and potential conflicts disclosed.
Editors are responsible for making impartial editorial decisions based on scholarly merit, methodological quality, originality, and relevance. Confidentiality, editorial independence, and fair evaluation must be maintained throughout.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts objectively, confidentially, and within their areas of technical expertise. Reviews should provide constructive academic feedback. Reviewers must disclose conflicts of interest and report suspected violations.
Authorship must reflect substantial scholarly contributions. All listed authors should approve the submitted draft and accept responsibility for their contributions to the research.
The journal strictly prohibits unethical publication practices to preserve the reliability of engineering literature:
| Plagiarism & Misconduct | The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, fabricated or falsified research findings, inappropriate image manipulation, or citation manipulation. Suspected violations lead to manuscript rejection or formal investigation. |
| Research & Human Ethics | Research involving human participants, personal information, sensitive datasets, or intelligent decision-making systems must comply with ethical standards, legal requirements, and documented institutional approvals. |
| Corrections & Retractions | When significant errors or ethical concerns are identified post-publication, the journal issues corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions following fair assessment procedures and COPE guidance. |
| Complaints & Concerns | Authors, reviewers, and readers may report suspected publication misconduct or editorial concerns through official communication channels. Complaints are examined impartially and confidentially. |
Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial, institutional, personal, or professional relationships that may influence the research, review process, or editorial evaluations. Proper disclosure and active management of conflicts of interest safeguard public trust and preserve objectivity in engineering communication.
