Publications Ethics

Journal Of Pedagogical Perspectives In Education (J-PPE) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and the quality of scientific publications. Therefore, we adopt the principles of publication ethics based on the COPE guidelines. All parties involved in the publication process—authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers—are expected to adhere to the following ethical standards:

Author Responsibilities

Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that the submitted manuscripts are original works and do not contain plagiarism. If using the work or words of others, it must be appropriately cited.

Multiple Publication: Authors should not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently. Multiple submissions are considered unethical publishing behavior and are unacceptable.

Acknowledgement of Sources: Authors must give proper acknowledgement to the work of others used in the manuscript.

Authorship: Only individuals who have made significant contributions to the research and writing of the manuscript should be listed as authors. All authors must approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission for publication.

Conflict of Interest Disclosure: Authors should disclose any financial or substantive conflict of interest that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works: If authors discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate to correct or retract the paper.

Editorial Responsibilities

Publication Decisions: The editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. This decision should be based on the validity of the work and its contribution to the scientific community.

Fairness: Editors should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: The editor must not use unpublished information in a submitted manuscript for their own research without the express written consent of the author.

Reviewer Responsibilities

Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

Timeliness: Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly and support them with arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
