PUBLICATION ETHICS
The International Adapted physical Education & Yoga (IJAPEY) is committed to sustain the highest standards of publication ethics. Authors should submit their works to IJAPEY for publication as an original article. The submitted articles should represent the authors’ contributions and have not been copied or plagiarized in whole or in part from any other works. The authors have to acknowledge that they have disclosed all and any actual or potential conflicts of interest with their work or partial benefits associated with it.
It is important to avoid:
Data fabrication and falsification:
Data fabrication – The researcher have not done the research study, but he made up data for the articles.
Data falsification – The researcher did the experiment, then he has changed some data.
Both of these practices make people distrust.
Plagiarism:
- Plagiarism means that “the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of the one’s own original work”.
- This is generally noticed that, authors are simply copying scientific data and information from the other published papers, which is an awful practice in academic fraternity.
- We request to the all our author(s) please adopt the holistic & pragmatic approach to design the manuscript of interest.
- Hence IJAPEY will not be responsible for further action on Plagiarism issue. The author will be solely responsible for plagiarism issue.
Multiple submissions:
It is unethical to submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. It will waste the time of editors and peer reviewers.
Redundant publications
It means that the authors publish more similar manuscripts based on the same experiment.
