Duties of Authors

Reporting Standards

Authors should provide a clear and accurate account of their research work and discuss its importance in an objective way. The document should correctly represent the data. To help others reproduce the work, the paper should include enough details and references. Fraudulent or false claims are unethical and unacceptable. 

Data Access and Retention 

Authors may need to provide raw data for editorial review and should, if possible, allow public access to this data. They must also keep the data for a reasonable amount of time after publication. 

Originality and Plagiarism 

Authors must confirm that their work is entirely original. If they use someone else’s work or words, it must be properly quoted or referenced. Submissions indicate that the manuscript has not been published before and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Authors must sign a copyright transfer form before their manuscript is published. By submitting the manuscript to the editor or publisher, authors grant permission to publish it. 

Multiple Publications 

Authors should not publish the same study in more than one journal or main publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals at the same time is unethical and inappropriate. 

Acknowledgement of Sources 

Authors must always give proper credit to others’ work. They should cite publications that influenced their research. 

Authorship of the Paper 

Authorship should include only those who made significant contributions to the study’s design, execution, or interpretation. Co-authors who contributed meaningfully must be listed. Others involved in the research project should also be mentioned or acknowledged.

Survey Paper

Case Study 

A case study is an in-depth study of an individual, organization, or event to understand underlying principles. It combines descriptive and exploratory analysis.
