DISCLOSURE AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Each manuscript is required to explicitly carry a statement to show the conflict of interest of any type i.e., among author, with the institution of authors, with previous publication etc.

CORRECTIONS AND RETRACTION OF RESEARCH ARTICLE

If there is suspicion of misbehavior or alleged fraud, the journals and/or Publisher will carry out an investigation following COPE guidelines. If, after an investigation, there are valid concerns, the authors concerned will be contacted under their given email address and given an opportunity to address the issue. Depending on the situation, this may result in the journal and/or Publisher‟s implementation of the following measures, including, but not limited to:

• If the manuscript is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author.
• If the article has already been published online, depending on the nature and severity of the infraction:
• An erratum/correction may be placed with the article
• An editor‟s note or editorial expression of concern may be placed with the article
• or, in severe cases, retraction of the article may occur

POLICY AND PRINCIPLES ON RESEARCH DATA

In case any part (e.g. table or figure) of the submitted manuscript has been taken from previously published work, it is responsibility of authors to obtain permission either from those publishers or from the authors depending on the copyright ownership.

ACCEPTANCE OF ARTICLES FOR PUBLICATION

The JAREC entertains all types of manuscripts i.e. full length research articles, research notes, short communications and also review papers on a particular topic. However, the reviewed period of published research work should not be less than five years. After complete review of articles by the reviewers, acceptance letter is issued immediately after final comments of reviewers. The author is required to submit author agreement form after acceptance letter is issued. The author agreement form must be received to editorial office before tentative date of paper publication. However, the Editor/Chief Editor has the right to change the publication schedule of any research paper if any ambiguity/short-comings are found in the manuscript during editing process.

EDITING & PROOFING

Research papers after undergoing preliminary scrutiny and review process are sent to authors for necessary improvement. Upon satisfactory revision, the manuscripts are typeset and proofs are prepared to make minor corrections. The Editorial Office carries out editing, page making/layout, formatting and final printing of the journal.

FUNDING SOURCE

In the manuscript the authors will provide brief information (including project details) on the acquisition of funds for carrying out the research to publish their data in JAREC.

APPEAL TO DECISION

In case the paper is rejected by editor/reviewer, the authors have the right to appeal/defend against editor/reviewer‟s decision in writing to the Editorial Office stating the reasons/arguments with evidence and supporting data/document

DOUBLE-DEALING BY AUTHOR
