Publication Ethics
Arsya Insight Journal of Teaching and Learning is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and taking all possible measures against publication malpractices. All parties involved in the publishing process—authors, editors, peer reviewers, and the publisher—must agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior.
1. Duties of Editors
-
Publication Decisions: The Chief Editor and Editorial Board are responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal will be published based on scientific merit, originality, and relevance to the journal’s scope, without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.
-
Fair Review & Confidentiality: Editors must ensure a double-blind peer review process and maintain complete confidentiality regarding all submitted manuscripts.
-
Disclosure & Conflicts of Interest: Editors will not use unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own research without the explicit written consent of the author.
2. Duties of Reviewers
-
Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and helps authors improve their papers through constructive feedback.
-
Confidentiality & Objectivity: Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Reviews should be conducted objectively with clear, supporting arguments.
-
Promptness & Conflicts of Interest: Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor immediately. Reviewers must decline reviews where conflicts of interest exist.
3. Duties of Authors
-
Reporting Standards & Originality: Authors must present an accurate account of the research performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Manuscripts must be entirely original work.
-
Plagiarism & Citation: Plagiarism in any form (including self-plagiarism) is strictly unacceptable. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given through appropriate citations.
-
Multiple or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently.
-
Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study.
4. Handling Allegations of Misconduct
In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism, the publisher and editorial board will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation and amend the article in question. This includes the prompt publication of an erratum, clarification, or, in severe cases, the full retraction of the affected work.
