Digital Preservation

Digital Preservation is an essential part in the open access publication process. It is crucial to ensure that all online research is secured and archived for continued long-term access. Scholarly Research Publications has partnered with Portico, which is one of the largest community-supported digital archives in the world to ensure that all manuscripts published in Scholarly Research Publications journals are digitally preserved and archived for permanent online access.

Publication Ethics

Authors must give assurance that no part of manuscript reporting original work is being considered for publication in whole or in part elsewhere. The corresponding author must affirm that all of the other authors have read and approved of the manuscript.

Authorship

An individual who has made considerable academic contributions to a scientific investigation, including significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, analysis and interpretation of the data, participation in drafting, reviewing or revising the manuscript for intellectual content and approval of the manuscript to be published.

Corresponding Author

If there are multiple authors in an article, one author should be designated as the Corresponding Author. A Corresponding Author assumes overall responsibility for the manuscript, providing significant contribution to the research effort, though may not necessarily be the principal investigator or project leader.

Co-Authors

All co-authors must provide consent for authorship, contribute to the research work, and take responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. Authors may acknowledge individuals who contributed to the project but do not meet authorship criteria. Guest, gift, and ghost authorship are unacceptable and violate this policy.

Conflict of Interest

A Conflict of Interest exists when judgement regarding the research is influenced by factors such as financial gain or personal relationships. All authors are required to disclose any financial, personal or other associations that may influence or be perceived to influence their work.

Plagiarism

Scholarly Research Publications is committed to publishing original and unpublished material. All submissions are screened using plagiarism detection tools such as iThenticate. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism or duplicate publication will be rejected and may lead to sanctions.

Citation Manipulation

Citation manipulation refers to the publication of an article primarily to increase an author’s number of citations. This is against ethical guidelines and strongly discouraged.

Redundant Publications

Redundant publication refers to publishing the same intellectual material more than once. Suspected cases will be handled in accordance with COPE guidelines.

Research Ethics

Research involving human subjects must comply with institutional and international ethical standards including the Helsinki Declaration. Authors must confirm informed consent. Animal studies must comply with relevant guidelines and laws.

Manuscript Preparation

Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise and grammatically correct English. Authors are encouraged to have their work reviewed prior to submission.

Licensing Agreement

Articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license, allowing reuse with proper citation.

Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Scholarly Research Publications undergo a rigorous peer-review process.

Post-Publication

Manuscript Revisions

Once the final review is completed, the author will be required to resubmit the revised manuscript using a journal template. The final Revised Manuscript will be sent via e-mail as a PDF file and should be returned within 3 days of receipt. Alterations to the text and figures (other than the essential correction of errors) are unacceptable at proof stage and authors may be charged for excessive alterations.

Retractions

If only a small part of an article reports flawed data, and especially if this is the result of genuine error, then the problem can be rectified by a correction or erratum. Retractions are also used to alert readers to cases of redundant publication (i.e. when authors present the same data in several publications), plagiarism, and failure to disclose a major competing interest likely to influence interpretations or recommendations. Notices of retraction will mention the reasons and basis for the retraction, to distinguish cases of misconduct from those of honest error; they will also specify who is retracting the article.
