Publication Ethics & Malpractice Statement
Adherence to COPE standards, peer review integrity, and scholarly accountability.
1. Ethical Guidelines & COPE Adherence
GlobalX Publications adheres strictly to the core practices and codes of conduct articulated by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Editors, authors, reviewers, and publishers share an unwavering responsibility to safeguard academic honesty, prevent scientific fraud, and maintain transparency throughout the editorial lifecycle.
2. Authorship & Contributorship Criteria
Authorship credit must be grounded in substantial contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported research. All designated co-authors must review and approve the final version of the manuscript and consent to its submission. Ghost, guest, or gift authorship constitutes scholarly misconduct.
3. Plagiarism & Originality Verification
Submissions are subjected to automated similarity indexing via Crossref Similarity Check and anti-plagiarism screening tools. Manuscripts exhibiting textual overlap exceeding editorial tolerance without appropriate quotation and citation will be immediately rejected or investigated.
4. Double-Blind Peer Review Rigor
Unless otherwise specified, scholarly submissions undergo double-blind peer review wherein reviewer identities remain anonymous to authors and vice versa. Peer reviewers must treat received manuscripts as confidential documents and recuse themselves immediately if conflicts of interest arise.
5. Retractions, Corrections & Errata
Should errors, scientific misconduct, or data fabrication be uncovered post-publication, GlobalX Publications will issue formal Corrigenda, Errata, or Retraction notices in compliance with COPE Retraction Guidelines.
