All authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher are expected to comply with the ethical principles and responsibilities described below. JECOMBI does not tolerate plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, undisclosed conflicts of interest, or other forms of academic misconduct.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original, accurate, and prepared in accordance with the journal's policies.
Editors are responsible for ensuring that manuscripts are evaluated fairly, objectively, and consistently. Editorial decisions should be based on the academic quality, originality, relevance, and contribution of the manuscript.
Reviewers contribute to the quality and integrity of the journal by providing independent and constructive assessments of submitted manuscripts.
JECOMBI considers plagiarism and academic misconduct to be serious violations of publication ethics. Manuscripts may be screened for plagiarism during the editorial process and, when necessary, after publication.
Plagiarism includes presenting another person's words, ideas, data, images, or intellectual contributions as one's own without appropriate acknowledgment. Academic misconduct also includes fabrication, falsification, manipulation of research data, duplicate publication, redundant publication, and other practices that may compromise the integrity of scholarly communication.
Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. Manuscripts that have already been published elsewhere must not be submitted to JECOMBI unless the authors provide a clear scholarly justification and fully disclose the previous publication to the editor.
Authorship must accurately reflect substantial contributions to the research and manuscript. Individuals who have made significant contributions should be appropriately recognized as authors.
Individuals who have contributed to the work but do not meet the criteria for authorship should be acknowledged appropriately. Any changes to the authorship or order of authors after submission must be approved by all authors and communicated to the editorial office.
Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial, professional, personal, or institutional interests that could influence the research, evaluation, or editorial decision-making process. Appropriate measures will be taken to manage any disclosed conflict of interest.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the research data presented in their manuscripts. Data must not be fabricated, falsified, manipulated, or selectively reported in a manner that could mislead readers. Where appropriate, authors may be requested to provide supporting information or clarification regarding the research methods, data, and findings.
JECOMBI is committed to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the published scholarly record. Corrections, retractions, or other appropriate editorial notices may be issued when significant errors, inaccuracies, or ethical concerns are identified before or after publication.
Complaints or concerns regarding publication ethics, authorship, peer review, conflicts of interest, plagiarism, or other forms of misconduct should be submitted to the editorial office. JECOMBI will review such concerns fairly, objectively, and confidentially and will take appropriate action based on the available evidence and applicable journal policies.
