Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
The editor and editorial board of JOTS are responsible for deciding which of the papers submitted to the journal will be published. The decision is based on the paper’s importance, originality, and the study’s impact and its relevance to the journal’s aim. The plagiarism are considered in particular. The editor does not give any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and editorial board.
The reviewers support the editor and the editorial board of JOTS in making editorial decisions and may serve the author in improving the paper.
Authors should only submit original works to JOTS and avoid plagiarism. Submitting the same paper to more than one journal causes some kind of unethical behaviour (duplication). JOTS never accepts it.
When authors notice an important error in their own published work, they should report it the editor.
