Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics at OPENPUB Global Publishers
At OPENPUB, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in academic publishing. Our publication ethics are grounded in transparency, integrity, and accountability, ensuring that our research is reliable, credible, and of the highest academic quality.

Editorial Independence
The editorial process at OPENPUB is independent, free from commercial or political influence. Our editorial board members, including editors and reviewers, are selected based on their expertise and professionalism, and they make decisions based solely on the scientific merit of the submitted work.

Plagiarism and Redundancy
We have a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism and academic misconduct. All submitted articles are screened for plagiarism, and any work found to have been plagiarized will be rejected. Additionally, we do not accept manuscripts that have been previously published or are under consideration elsewhere.

Conflict of Interest
To ensure fairness in the publication process, authors, editors, and reviewers must declare any potential conflicts of interest. This includes financial, professional, or personal interests that may bias the outcome of the research or review process. We require complete transparency in these declarations, and any conflicts of interest are addressed prior to publication.

Ethical Treatment of Research
OPENPUB is dedicated to promoting the ethical treatment of research subjects, including humans and animals. Authors are required to follow ethical guidelines set forth by their respective institutions and disciplinary bodies. All research involving human subjects must have approval from an institutional review board (IRB), and research involving animals must comply with applicable animal welfare laws and regulations.

Peer Review and Transparency
We maintain a robust, transparent peer-review process where authors and reviewers interact openly and professionally. We value constructive criticism and believe that peer review strengthens the quality of academic research. All feedback provided during the review process is shared with authors to help improve the final publication.
