Journal Publication Ethics

The universally recognized norms are accepted and formed as the journal publication ethics. The authors are advised to submit papers with original research contribution and sound english grammar.

The journal is strictly against

• Multiple submission i.e.., submitting to one or more journals at a same time.
• Repetitive Publication i.e., submitting the previously published work. This practice is done either intentionally or inadvertently by authors as self-plagiarism is also considered as a redundant publication.
• Inappropriate manipulation of data i.e., fabricating the result or falsely adding, modifying, removing and hiding of information / data.
• Plagiarism i.e., using of text and/ or figure from others contributions as their own without proper acknowledgment.
• Hiding Conflict of Interest i.e., hiding of any conflict of interest regarding financial or personal.

Plagiarism

Authors while submitting the manuscript to ISRI should ensure that it is of their own contribution and is not copied from other works. Verbatim copy of another work either in portion or complete or mixing verbatim from multiple works or rephrasing the text’s original wording is considered as unlawful and authors will have to face severe consequences.

For review papers, the authors should give the summary of existing literature in their own words and not as it is from the literature though paper reference is provided. If authors involve in such unlawful activity ISRI will not be anyhow responsible for the action taken on plagiarism issue. Authors will be solely responsible for the misdeed. So authors are advised to definitely check their manuscript using qualitative plagiarism software before submission.
