Publication Policy & Research Integrity

A. Redundant & Concurrent Publication

JIAAP strictly prohibits the submission of a manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. Authors must certify that the work is original and has not been published elsewhere, in whole or in substantial part, in any language.

B. Authorship Criteria

All listed authors must have made a significant contribution to the research (conception, design, execution, or interpretation). The corresponding author ensures that all co-authors have approved the final version of the paper.

C. Conflict of Interest

Authors must disclose any financial or personal relationships with people or organisations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. If no conflict exists, a statement must be included: “The authors declare no conflict of interest.”

D. Data Availability

To align with Scopus open-science initiatives, JIAAP encourages authors to state whether their data is available in a public repository or available upon request.
