Publication Ethics

The International Journal of Creative Engineering and Emerging Technologies is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct in scholarly publishing. This policy outlines the ethical principles and responsibilities of all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, reviewers, editors, and the publisher.

1. Editorial Responsibility

Editors are responsible for ensuring a fair, transparent, and timely editorial process. Manuscripts are evaluated solely on academic merit, originality, relevance, and clarity. Editorial decisions are made independently and without discrimination based on personal, institutional, or geographical factors.

2. Author Responsibilities

Authors are expected to conduct and report research in an ethical and responsible manner. By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that:

  • The work is original and has not been published previously

  • The manuscript is not under consideration elsewhere

  • All data, analyses, and results are presented accurately

  • All sources are properly cited and acknowledged

  • Authorship accurately reflects scholarly contributions

Authors must disclose any conflicts of interest and sources of financial support related to the research.

3. Research Integrity

The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, or any form of research misconduct. Submitted manuscripts may be evaluated for originality and ethical compliance as part of the editorial review process.

4. Peer Review Ethics

All submissions undergo an impartial peer review process. Reviewers are expected to conduct reviews objectively, maintain confidentiality, and declare any conflicts of interest. Reviewer feedback should be constructive, respectful, and focused on improving scholarly quality.

5. Confidentiality

Manuscripts submitted to the journal are treated as confidential documents. Editors and reviewers must not disclose information about a submission to individuals not directly involved in the editorial process.

6. Conflicts of Interest

All participants in the publication process must disclose any conflicts of interest that could influence professional judgment. Identified conflicts are managed transparently to preserve editorial impartiality.

7. Ethical Oversight

Concerns related to ethical misconduct, authorship disputes, or data integrity are investigated by the editorial office in accordance with established procedures. Authors are given the opportunity to respond to any allegations.

8. Corrections and Retractions

When significant errors or ethical issues are identified after publication, the journal may issue corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the scholarly record.

9. Publisher Responsibility

The publisher supports ethical editorial practices and ensures that commercial or institutional interests do not influence editorial decision-making.
