  2. Plagiarism and Acknowledgment: All submissions must be original works. Authors must appropriately acknowledge and reference the contributions of others. Data sources and supporting evidence must be accurately cited in both the text and references section. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and will be rigorously addressed by the editorial board.

  3. Exclusive Submission: Manuscripts submitted to iRASD-JER must not be under consideration or previously published in another journal. Authors must ensure that their work is submitted exclusively to iRASD-JER.

  4. Copyright Compliance: Authors must ensure that their manuscripts do not violate any copyrights, including text, tables, graphics, and formulas. Proper permissions must be obtained for any copyrighted material used.

  5. Research Integrity: iRASD-JER condemns any breaches of research ethics, including but not limited to data fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. Authors are accountable for the accuracy of all information provided, including facts, personal details, geographical data, and institutional names.

  6. Accountability and Accuracy: Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the information presented in their manuscripts. Any factual inaccuracies or misleading information must be promptly corrected upon discovery.

  7. Independence of Opinions: The opinions expressed in research articles are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the iRASD-JER editorial board. The editorial team is not responsible for the viewpoints expressed in published articles.

  8. Ethical Oversight: The editorial board of iRASD-JER takes rigorous steps to prevent and address violations of ethical standards. This includes screening for plagiarism, ensuring accurate citations, and maintaining the integrity of the peer review process.
