Guidelines Ethics Publication Journal

Publishing articles in Dahzain Nur through peer review is a fundamental part of building a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the authors' work and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles help uphold and embody the scientific method. Therefore, it is important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and the academic community.

Accusation Violation Study

Violation study means counterfeiting, falsification, manipulation of citations, or plagiarism in the process of conducting, reporting, or reviewing research, as well as in writing articles by authors or reporting research results. If an author is found to be involved in research misconduct or any other serious ethical deviation concerning a published article in a scientific journal, the editor is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record.

If an allegation is made, the Editor and Editorial Board will follow COPE’s best practices to investigate the complaint and handle the case fairly. This includes a thorough review of the accusation by the editorial team. Any manuscript found to contain research misconduct will be rejected. If a published article is found to be in violation, a retraction may be issued and will be clearly linked to the original article.

The initial step involves determining the validity of the allegation and assessing whether it meets the definition of research misconduct. This also includes evaluating whether the individual reporting the misconduct has any relevant conflicts of interest.

If there is a possibility of scientific error or serious research misconduct, the accusation will be sent to the corresponding author and all co-authors. They will be asked to provide a detailed response. After the response is reviewed, additional evaluations and expert input (e.g., from statistical reviewers) may be sought.

If no misconduct is found, a clarification or additional analysis may be published in the form of a letter to the editor. This may include a correction or amendment to the original article, if deemed necessary.

The author's institution is expected to conduct a proper and thorough investigation into the alleged misconduct. Ultimately, the authors, journal, and affiliated institutions share a responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record. By responding appropriately to concerns of scientific misconduct and taking necessary actions such as corrections, retractions, or retraction with replacement, Dahzain Nur remains committed to maintaining the validity and integrity of scientific publications.
