Other Policies

In addition to our primary publishing guidelines, International Journal of Research and Technology maintains the following policies to ensure transparency, ethical integrity, and smooth operations.

  1. Conflict of Interest Policy
  • Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could influence the content or review process.
  • All declared conflicts will be published in the article to maintain transparency.
  1. Data Sharing and Reproducibility Policy
  • Authors are encouraged to make their data, code, and supplementary materials openly available to support reproducibility and further research.
  • If data cannot be shared due to privacy, legal, or ethical concerns, authors must clearly state the reason in the manuscript.
  1. Advertising Policy
  • Any advertisements on the journal website must be relevant, non-intrusive, and clearly distinguished from editorial content.
  • Advertisements will not influence editorial decisions or compromise academic integrity.
  1. Preprint Policy
  • The journal allows submission of manuscripts that have been previously posted on recognized preprint servers (e.g., arXiv, SSRN, bioRxiv), provided the authors disclose this at the time of submission.
  • Authors must ensure there are no copyright conflicts with the preprint platform.
  1. Withdrawal Policy
  • Authors may request withdrawal of a manuscript before acceptance by providing a valid reason.
  • Manuscript withdrawal after acceptance is discouraged and may require payment of withdrawal fees to cover processing costs.
  1. Anti-Plagiarism Policy
  • All submissions are checked using plagiarism detection software.
  • Manuscripts exceeding the acceptable similarity threshold will be rejected or sent for revision.
  1. Language Policy
  • Manuscripts must be written in clear, grammatically correct English (or the journal’s accepted languages).
  • Authors may be asked to seek professional language editing if the manuscript does not meet language standards.

By implementing these additional policies, International Journal of Research and Technology ensures that our publishing practices remain ethical, transparent, and globally recognized.
