Journals that lack a clear ethical policy are rejected by indexing databases and lose the trust of researchers. In this guide, we explain the most important principles and how to apply them.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:#0F1A40;margin:34px 0 14px\">What are scientific publishing ethics?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height:2;color:#33415a;font-size:1.05rem\">They are a set of principles that ensure the integrity of the publishing process: from submitting the research to peer review and publication, protecting the rights of authors, reviewers, and readers.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:#0F1A40;margin:34px 0 14px\">The most prominent principles that must be adopted<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"line-height:2.1;color:#33415a;font-size:1.05rem\">\n<li><strong>Combating Plagiarism:<\/strong> Screening every research paper with similarity detection software before accepting it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fair and confidential peer review:<\/strong> Double-blind peer review evaluates research objectively.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disclosure of conflicts of interest:<\/strong> From authors, reviewers, and the editorial board.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Author rights and licensing:<\/strong> A clear policy (such as Creative Commons licenses).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corrections &amp; Retractions:<\/strong> A declared mechanism for correcting errors or retracting violating research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"color:#0F1A40;margin:34px 0 14px\">Why do they matter for international indexing?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height:2;color:#33415a;font-size:1.05rem\">Rules such as <a href=\"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/index-journal-scopus-doaj\/\" style=\"color:#0066cc\">DOAJ and Scopus<\/a> require a declared and applied ethics policy (often in accordance with COPE guidelines). Its absence is a common reason for journal rejection.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:#0F1A40;margin:34px 0 14px\">How to apply them practically on your platform<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height:2;color:#33415a;font-size:1.05rem\">Publishing policies clearly on the journal's website, integrating plagiarism detection tools, and documenting the review process \u2014 all of these are built into the platform <a href=\"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/ojs-journals\/\" style=\"color:#0066cc\">Professionally configured OJS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:40px 0;padding:30px 26px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,#0F1A40,#13234f);border-radius:16px;color:#fff;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"color:#fff;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:1.4rem\">Build a credible academic journal from the ground up<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;color:#cbd6ee;line-height:1.9\">We help you prepare ethical publishing policies and integrate them into a professional OJS platform ready for indexing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/ojs-journals\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#E8B84B;color:#0F1A40;font-weight:bold;padding:13px 30px;border-radius:10px;text-decoration:none\">Academic publishing services<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/9647754449595\" style=\"display:inline-block;margin-inline-start:10px;color:#fff;font-weight:bold;padding:13px 26px;border-radius:10px;text-decoration:none\">WhatsApp<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0623\u062e\u0644\u0627\u0642\u064a\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0634\u0631 \u0644\u064a\u0633\u062a \u0634\u0643\u0644\u0627\u064b \u0628\u0644 \u0623\u0633\u0627\u0633 \u0645\u0635\u062f\u0627\u0642\u064a\u0629 \u0623\u064a \u0645\u062c\u0644\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0645\u064a\u0629. \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0645\u062c\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062a\u064a \u062a\u0641\u062a\u0642\u0631 \u0644\u0633\u064a\u0627\u0633\u0629 \u0623\u062e\u0644\u0627\u0642\u064a\u0629 \u0648\u0627\u0636\u062d\u0629 \u062a\u064f\u0631\u0641\u0636 \u0645\u0646 \u0642\u0648\u0627\u0639\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0647\u0631\u0633\u0629 \u0648\u062a\u0641\u0642\u062f \u062b\u0642\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0627\u062d\u062b\u064a\u0646. \u0641\u064a \u0647\u0630\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0644\u064a\u0644 \u0646\u0648\u0636\u0651\u062d \u0623\u0647\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0628\u0627\u062f\u0626 \u0648\u0643\u064a\u0641 \u062a\u0637\u0628\u0651\u0642\u0647\u0627. \u0645\u0627 \u0647\u064a \u0623\u062e\u0644\u0627\u0642\u064a\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0634\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0644\u0645\u064a\u061f \u0647\u064a \u0645\u062c\u0645\u0648\u0639\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0628\u0627\u062f\u0626 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u064a \u062a\u0636\u0645\u0646 \u0646\u0632\u0627\u0647\u0629 \u0639\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0634\u0631: \u0645\u0646 \u062a\u0642\u062f\u064a\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062d\u062b \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u062d\u0643\u064a\u0645 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0646\u0634\u0631\u060c \u0628\u0645\u0627 \u064a\u062d\u0645\u064a \u062d\u0642\u0648\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0624\u0644\u0641\u064a\u0646 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0643\u0651\u0645\u064a\u0646 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scientific-publishing"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8474"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8474\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8482,"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8474\/revisions\/8482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erticaz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
