1. Commitment to Excellence and Integrity

At MIJPLS, we believe that scientific publishing is not just about disseminating data — it is about upholding the integrity of knowledge. Every manuscript we publish undergoes a rigorous and transparent evaluation process aligned with COPE, ICMJE, and Elsevier Ethical Guidelines.

Core Ethical Principles

1. Originality Assurance
   • Manuscripts must represent authentic, unpublished work that is not under review
   • Upon acceptance, the copyright belongs to MIJPLS, while authors retain their intellectual and moral rights.
2. Zero Tolerance for Plagiarism
   • All submissions are verified using AI-assisted plagiarism detection systems (Turnitin / iThenticate).
   • A similarity index above 15% (excluding references) may result in rejection or resubmission.
3. Authorship Transparency
   • Each listed author must have contributed significantly to the study’s design, execution, or interpretation.
   • The Corresponding Author bears responsibility for communication and post-publication corrections, if required.
4. Data Integrity and Availability
   • Authors should preserve their raw data and provide it to the editorial board if verification is needed.
   • MIJPLS encourages data sharing for reproducibility and transparency.
5. Ethical Approval
   • Human studies must mention Ethical Committee Approval No. and Informed Consent.
   • Animal studies must comply with CPCSEA / OECD or equivalent international standards.
6. Conflict of Interest Disclosure
   • All financial or personal relationships that could influence research must be disclosed both in the Cover Letter and Manuscript Declaration Section.
