Policy on Allegations and research misconduct

Innovative Publication resolves all the allegations and research misconduct on publication ethics and publication malpractice. We follow the code of conduct and best publication practices in scientific publication and adhere to the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (IJCME).

 

• Authors must certify that the manuscript is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere. Submitting the same paper to more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing practice.
• Submitting or releasing someone else hypothesis or idea, stealing content and research work is an abuse of the original creator's work and is considered to be unethical.
• Research misconduct is considered to be fabrication and plagiarism which does not include errors while writing by the author or differences in thoughts of the co-authors.
• Authors are obliged to provide retractions or corrections of mistakes at any point in time if the author(s) discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in the submitted manuscript the corresponding authors will be asked to provide an explanation and evidence if required.
• If the author of the reported article accepts the misconduct complaint, the editorial office will take action depending on the situation.
• After the article publication article gets reported of any misconduct than an erratum or retraction may be necessary to remedy the situation.
• If the misconduct is reported during the review process, the review process may continue, with the author(s) making the relevant changes.
• Non-reporting of observed misconduct, and covering up suspected research misconduct by others is also considered to be unethical.

Our team will definitely take necessary action for any reported allegations and research misconduct.

 

Retraction Policy

Innovative Publication will do retraction of articles when there are significant errors, Ethical concerns and fraudulent data in the published work. Retractions are a way for journals to maintain the integrity of the scientific record. This can happen for many reasons like plagiarism, falsification of data, Ethical violations, multiple submissions of articles and authorship issues, etc.
Every retraction issued will lead to publication for providing a valid reason for it or sometimes an author explanation is needed as well and we follow the COPE Retraction guidelines. Please contact editorialoffice@ipinnovatiove.com for such cases.

 

Erratum

It is a small error or mistake, typically one found in a printed work after it has been published. These errors are specific errors such as typos, formatting, graphical changes, or spelling mistakes, grammatical errors etc but do not alter the original findings of the research. Erratum occurs when the publishers make mistakes instead of the authors, thus there is no fee associated with them for the author. It is given by the editor production team and mistakes will be underlined and will be mentioned in a separate section at the end of the print copy if the errors will be notified under a specific time period.

 

Corrigendum

These errors which is found in printed work after the publishing of the manuscript. These errors are specific errors such as Spelling errors, changes in the author's affiliation, documentation or any legal changes, requests for more authors, content addition and omissions of information, etc. which are associated with authors. If these changes are minor then can be rectified and the article will be printed in another issue with correction if major errors are there will lead to some costing and proper discussion or investigation if required and will be published in other print copies after correction.
