Ethics in Publishing
Conflicts of interest policy: Conflicts of interest include those which may not be fully apparent and which may influence the judgment of authors, reviewers, and editors. They have been described as those which, when revealed later, would make a reasonable reader feel misled or deceived. They may be personal, commercial, political, academic or financial. “Financial” interests may include employment, research funding, stock or share ownership, payment for lectures or travel, consultancies and company support for staff.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism ranges from the unreferenced use of others published and unpublished ideas, including research grant applications to submission under “new” authorship of a complete paper, sometimes in a different language. It may occur at any stage of planning, research, writing, or publication: it applies to print and electronic versions. The Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences checks all manuscripts for plagiarism by authenticate. Authors are expected to check their manuscript for plagiarism before submission.
“Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript; even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics.”
