Publication Ethics

The Journal Interdisciplinary Horizon Research (TJIHR) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against publication malpractice. The journal follows the ethical principles established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and expects all parties involved in the publication process—including authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher—to adhere to these principles.

Responsibilities of Authors

  • Ensure that all data presented are accurate, authentic, and obtained ethically.
  • Properly acknowledge the work of others through appropriate citation and referencing.
  • Disclose any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest that may influence the research.
  • List as authors only those who have made significant contributions to the research and manuscript.
  • Promptly notify the editorial office if a significant error is discovered after submission or publication.

Responsibilities of Editors

  • Evaluate submitted manuscripts solely on their academic merit, originality, and relevance to the journal's scope.
  • Maintain confidentiality regarding submitted manuscripts and related information.
  • Ensure a fair, objective, and unbiased peer-review process.

Publication Ethics and Research Integrity
TJIHR strictly prohibits plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, duplicate submission, redundant publication, citation manipulation, and any other form of academic misconduct.
