Publication Ethics

To maintain the quality and integrity of manuscripts as well as to prevent plagiarism in the publication process, the Editorial Board of JADIMI (Journal of AI-Driven Informatics and Management Information) establishes the following publication ethics.
These ethical guidelines apply to authors, editors, reviewers, and journal managers.
The ethical standards of this journal are based on the principles set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Author’s Ethics

  1. Reporting Standards
    Authors must present their research process and results to the editor accurately, clearly, and comprehensively, and ensure that research data is stored securely and responsibly.

    Authors must guarantee that the submitted manuscript is original work, written by the author(s), and not taken from others’ ideas or writings. Authors are strictly prohibited from using references without proper citation or quotation.

  3. Resubmission Policy
    Authors must declare that the manuscript has not been submitted or published in any other journal. If duplicate submission is discovered, the Editorial Board reserves the right to reject the manuscript.

  4. Author Qualification and Responsibility
    Authors must ensure that they possess competence and qualifications relevant to the field of study covered in the manuscript. The corresponding author is responsible for all communications with the editorial team and for resolving any issues arising during the publication process.

  5. Correction of Errors
    If the author discovers any significant error in the manuscript (e.g., in the title, author names, affiliations, citations, or interpretations), the author must promptly notify the editor and propose necessary corrections or revisions.

  6. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
    Authors must be aware of and adhere to the publication ethics outlined above to avoid conflicts of interest with other parties, ensuring that the publication process proceeds ethically and transparently.
