Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics

IJPHR is committed to maintaining the integrity and reliability of the scholarly record.

Fabrication or falsification of data, plagiarism, duplicate publication, inappropriate image manipulation, citation manipulation, inappropriate authorship and undisclosed competing interests are unacceptable.

Editors and reviewers are expected to conduct manuscript evaluation objectively, confidentially and without inappropriate influence.

When credible concerns arise, the editorial office may request original data, ethics documentation, authorship information or other evidence necessary to evaluate the matter.

Appropriate action may include rejection, correction, expression of concern, retraction or communication with relevant institutions where justified.
