Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics

 

The LIBERATICA applies ethical standards for publication to ensure high-quality academic publications and reliable scientific findings. Although the LIBERATICA is not yet a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), we will strictly follow COPE’s guidelines and core practices.

All manuscripts are subjected to a double-blind peer review process. The author(s) must revise the manuscript based on the feedback provided by the reviewers and/or provide a rebuttal of their critique.

Plagiarism

Author(s) must give credit to the words, figures, or ideas of others by providing citation at the points they are used. Quotation of other works must be functional and be accompanied by appropriate citation. 

The IJSLS has a strict policy on plagiarism. Whenever a manuscript has found to be the result of self-plagiarizing or plagiarizing of others, whether of published or unpublished works, the manuscript will be rejected. Any published articles that afterwards are found to have plagiarized the author’s own work or the work of others, will be retracted or may need to be corrected by the author.
