PUBLICATION ETHICS


Applied Linguistics and Pedagogy Studies Journal (ALPSJ)  is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in scholarly publishing. We adhere to the principles outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and encourage all authors, reviewers, and editors to uphold these standards.

Duties of Authors:

  • Reporting Standards: Authors must provide accurate and objective accounts of their research, including sufficient detail and references to allow for replication. Fraudulent or inaccurate statements are unacceptable.
  • Data Access and Retention: Authors should be prepared to provide raw data for editorial review and, if practicable, public access to such data. Authors are also expected to retain data for a reasonable period after publication.
  • Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure their work is entirely original and properly cite any borrowed material. Plagiarism in any form is strictly prohibited.
  • Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not publish essentially the same research in multiple journals. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently is unethical.
  • Acknowledgement of Sources: Proper acknowledgement of the work of others is essential. Authors should cite influential publications and acknowledge any contributions from collaborators.
  • Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who made significant contributions to the research. All contributors should be listed as authors, and the corresponding author is responsible for ensuring all appropriate authors are included and have approved the final version of the paper.
  • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Authors must disclose any financial or other conflicts of interest that might influence their research. All sources of funding should be acknowledged.
  • Fundamental Errors in Published Works: Authors have a responsibility to promptly notify the editor of any significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work and cooperate with the editor to correct or retract the paper.
  • Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects: If the research involves hazards, human subjects, or animal subjects, authors must clearly identify and address any ethical concerns.

By submitting their work to Applied Linguistics and Pedagogy Studies Journal (ALPSJ) , authors agree to uphold these publication ethics standards.
