Publication Ethics

The Editorial Board of Journal Arunasita is committed to upholding the highest standards in publication ethics and will take all necessary actions against any violations. Authors submitting articles to Journal Arunasita declare that their work is original, has not been published before, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The following ethical guidelines are adopted by our journal:

Duties of Authors

• Reporting Standards: Authors must present an accurate report of the research conducted and an objective discussion of its significance. False or deliberately inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable behavior.
• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they use the work or words of others, it must be properly cited or referenced.
• Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.
• Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the work reported.
• Authorship of the Work: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported research. All who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest in their manuscript that might influence the results or interpretation of 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 their published work, they are obligated to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with them to retract or correct the article.

Duties of Editors

• Publication Decisions: Editors are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted will be published. Editors may be guided by the journal's editorial board policies and constrained by legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
• Fair Treatment: Editors evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
• Confidentiality: Editors and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as necessary.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the written consent of the author.

Duties of Reviewers

• Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and, through editorial communication with the author, may assist the author in improving the article.
• Promptness: Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that timely review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.
• Confidentiality: Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
• Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
• Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also notify the editor of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the paper.
