3. Research and Publication Ethics
3.1 Research Involving Human Subjects
JMI fully adheres to the Code of Conduct and the Best Practice Guidelines of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
The Editors of this journal enforce a rigorous peer-review process together with strict ethical policies and standards to
guarantee to add high-quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism,
data falsification, image manipulation, inappropriate authorship credit, and the like, do arise. The Editors of JMI take such
publishing ethics issues very seriously and are trained to proceed in such cases with zero tolerance policy.
Authors wishing to publish their papers in JMI must abide to the following:
The author(s) must disclose any possibility of a conflict of interest in the paper prior to submission.
The authors should declare that there is no academic misconduct in their manuscript in the cover letter.
Authors should accurately present their research findings and include an objective discussion of the significance of their
findings.
Data and methods used in the research need to be presented in sufficient detail in the manuscript so that other researchers
can replicate the work.
Authors should provide raw data if referees and the Editors of the journal request.
Simultaneous submission of manuscripts to more than one journal is not tolerated.
Republishing content that is not novel is not tolerated (for example, an English translation of a paper that is already published
in another language will not be accepted).
The manuscript should not contain any information that has already been published. If you include already published
figures or images, please get the necessary permission from the copyright holder to publish under the CC-BY license.
Plagiarism, data fabrication and image manipulation are not tolerated.
Plagiarism is not acceptable in OAE journals.
Plagiarism involves the inclusion of large sections of unaltered or minimally altered text from an existing source without
appropriate and unambiguous attribution, and/or an attempt to misattribute original authorship regarding ideas or results,
and copying text, images, or data from another source, even from your own publications, without giving credit to the source.
As to reusing the text that is copied from another source, it must be between quotation marks and the source must be cited.
If a study’s design or the manuscript’s structure or language has been inspired by previous studies, these studies must be
cited explicitly.
