Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

Publication Ethics Policy

Library of Science places a strong emphasis on the importance of publication ethics, adhering strictly to internationally recognized standards as set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). We have established clear ethical guidelines for editors, reviewers, and authors, covering human research ethics, prevention of plagiarism, and the responsible use of AI tools in scholarly research.

Duties of Authors

  • Reporting Standards: Authors must present their research accurately and clearly. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior.
  • Data Access and Retention: Authors should be prepared to provide raw data upon editorial request. We recommend using the Open Science Framework (OSF) for data sharing.
  • Originality and Plagiarism: Submitted work must be original. All submissions are screened using Turnitin. A similarity index of ≤10% is required.
  • Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper citation and acknowledgment of others' work is mandatory.
  • Authorship Criteria: Authorship should be based on significant contributions, following ICMJE guidelines.
  • Hazards and Human/Animal Subjects: Research involving hazards or human/animal subjects must comply with ethical standards and approvals.
  • Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest: Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest.
  • Correction of Errors: Authors are obligated to promptly correct significant errors in their published work.
  • AI-Generated Content: Any use of AI tools must be disclosed. AI tools cannot be listed as authors.

Plagiarism Policy

We have a strict plagiarism policy. Manuscripts must contain less than 10% similarity. It is the author's responsibility to check for plagiarism before submission.

Handling Allegations of Misconduct

Library of Science upholds the utmost research integrity. Allegations of misconduct, including plagiarism, data fabrication, or unethical experimentation, will be investigated following COPE guidelines, and appropriate action will be taken.
