Publication Ethics

The Journal of Educational Innovation and Technology (JEIT) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics in all its processes. As an open-access journal, JEIT follows a transparent and rigorous process in ensuring the integrity and credibility of the research published. Our publication ethics are aligned with international standards, including the guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

1. Ethical Responsibilities of Authors:

  • Authors are required to submit original work that has not been published elsewhere, nor is it under consideration for publication in any other journal.

  • All sources used in the research must be properly cited and acknowledged to avoid any form of plagiarism.

  • Authors must disclose any conflicts of interest that may affect their research, including financial or personal relationships.

  • The authors must ensure that research involving human or animal subjects adheres to ethical guidelines, with proper consent obtained and ethical approval granted where applicable.

  • In the case of multiple authors, the corresponding author should ensure all authors have agreed on the final version of the manuscript.

2. Ethical Responsibilities of Reviewers:

  • Reviewers must evaluate manuscripts objectively and provide constructive feedback to improve the quality of the submitted work.

  • They should not use unpublished information from the manuscript for their own research or personal gain.

  • Reviewers are required to declare any conflicts of interest that may affect their judgment, and they should recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts if necessary.

  • Reviewers should respect the confidentiality of the manuscript and not disclose or discuss its content with others.

3. Ethical Responsibilities of Editors:

  • The editorial team ensures that all submitted manuscripts undergo a fair and unbiased peer-review process. Editors make decisions based solely on the academic merit of the work.

  • Editors are committed to maintaining confidentiality of the submitted manuscripts and will not disclose any information about a manuscript to anyone other than the authors, reviewers, and editorial staff.

  • Any conflicts of interest should be disclosed, and editors must ensure that they do not have any influence on decisions related to the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts for reasons other than academic merit.

  • In cases of research misconduct, including plagiarism or data falsification, the editorial team will take appropriate action, including rejecting the manuscript or retracting a published paper if necessary.

4. Open Access Commitment:

  • As an open-access journal, JEIT ensures that all published articles are freely available to all readers worldwide, fostering a more inclusive and accessible academic environment.

  • The journal adheres to the principles of transparency, allowing authors to retain copyright and offering clear and immediate access to the full text of each published article.

5. Retraction and Correction Policy:

  • In cases where research misconduct or significant errors are identified post-publication, JEIT follows a transparent retraction or correction process. Authors may be asked to correct mistakes or withdraw the article in cases of unethical behavior or factual inaccuracies.

By adhering to these publication ethics, Journal of Educational Innovation and Technology (JEIT) aims to foster a trustworthy academic environment that contributes to the advancement of knowledge in the field of educational innovation and technology.
