Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics

AMR adheres to the highest ethical standards in academic publishing, guided by the principles of integrity, transparency, and accountability. The journal follows the ethical guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and expects all stakeholders, including authors, reviewers, and editors, to uphold these standards.

Authors submitting manuscripts to AMR must ensure that their work is original, free of plagiarism, and not under consideration in any other journal. Plagiarism, data fabrication, and other forms of academic misconduct are strictly prohibited, and all manuscripts undergo rigorous plagiarism screening before review. Instances of ethical violations will result in immediate rejection and potential blacklisting of authors.

Reviewers are expected to provide unbiased, fair, and confidential assessments of manuscripts. They must disclose any potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts where such conflicts exist. Editors play a pivotal role in ensuring ethical compliance by maintaining transparency in the decision-making process and safeguarding the journal from unethical practices such as coercive citations, nepotism, or biased decision-making.

AMR also upholds ethical principles regarding authorship. Only individuals who have made substantial contributions to the research should be listed as authors. Guest, honorary, or ghost authorship is not permitted. Any disputes concerning authorship must be resolved before submission. Corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern will be issued where ethical breaches or errors are identified post-publication.
