Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

For all parties involved in the act of publishing (the author, the journal editor(s), the peer reviewer, and the publisher) it is necessary to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour. The ethics statements for our journal are based on the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

  • Peer reviewers

    Reporting standards

    Authors reporting results of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.

    Originality and Plagiarism

    The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

    Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication

    An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Parallel submission of the same manuscript to more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

    Authorship of a manuscript

    Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as coauthors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be named in an Acknowledgement section. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors (according to the above definition) and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the author list of the manuscript, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

    Hazards and human or animal subjects

    If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the authors must clearly identify these in the manuscript.

    Disclosure and conflicts of interest

    All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or their interpretation in the manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

    Fundamental errors in published works

    When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal's Editor-in-Chief or publisher and cooperate with them to either retract the paper or to publish an appropriate erratum.

  • Publisher's confirmation

LICENCES, COPYRIGHT & PERMISSIONS

The acceptance of the author’s licence, copyrights and permission is mandatory to publish an article in TIJ. The journal permits authors to retain full copyright of their articles without any restrictions. Authors also retain publishing rights without limitations.

  • Open Access Statement
  • Originality and Plagiarism
  • Assurances
  • Rights retained by authors
  • Re-use permission requests

    The TIJ have all applicable copyright, database protection, and other rights. Therefore, for any publication, whether printed or electronic, prior permission is to be obtained to use the material for which the author(s) does not already own the copyright. This material may be, for example, a figure, diagram, table, photo, or some other image.

  • Article Sharing

    Reuse of material that was published originally by the TIJ must be accompanied by the appropriate acknowledgement of the publication. Authors contributing to our publications (journal articles, books, or book chapters) do not need to formally request permission to reproduce material contained in another TIJ publication. However, permission should be requested for the use of a whole article or chapter. For all cases of reproduction, the correct acknowledgement of the reproduced material should be given. The form of the acknowledgement is dependent on the journal in which it was published originally, as detailed in the 'Acknowledgements' section.

    We must ensure that the material we publish does not infringe on the copyright of others. We require the author(s) to obtain, at the earliest opportunity, the relevant permissions that might be needed from third parties to include material that belongs to someone else.

    Please contact the publisher/copyright owner of the third-party material to check how they wish to receive permission requests. Please plan to submit your request well ahead of the publication of your material.

A conflict of interest exists when professional judgment concerning validity of research may be influenced by external factors like financial gain, material benefits or personal interests.

It is important to know about the conflicts of interest of the editors, reviewers and authors in order to make the best decision for handling of the article during editorial and peer review process. It is also important for the readers of the article to know about any conflict of interest.
