Publisher Responsibilities

Handling the Peer-Review Process

 We are committed to bridge all components of peer-review process for delivery of quality publications and benefiting researchers. Our all advertisements, language service, special service, or other commercial interests shall not affect the decision of the editors and reviewers.

Article Withdrawal and Corrections to the Record

 The published articles should be considered for withdrawal if proven to be plagiarized, presenting fake, duplicate or fraudulent data, or showing clear evidences of infringements of ethical codes. Such articles (html, pdf, xml, epub, zip) will be replaced by the content stating the withdrawal of the manuscripts. Minor errors such as typos, textual changes, or clearer statements on the existing contents will be published as corrections.

Integrity and Quality of Services

 We will ensure that all contents are confidential before publication, meeting standard of archiving and abstracting and timely publication of the accepted manuscripts.

Publication Ethics Statement

 Publication of scientific contents is meticulous, methodical and comprehensive processes that involve good ethical and managerial practices. The ISRDO and respective journals take the responsibility to ensure that a rigorous peer-review has been performed, and strict ethical policies and standards are observed for presented manuscripts. In cases of plagiarism, fraudulent data, inappropriate authorship credit, and similar, respective journals handle these misconducts very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero-tolerance policy. To effectively maintain high publication standards, The ISRDO strives to work with editors, authors, peer-reviewers and copy editors on on-to-one bases. To ensure that submitted contents are original and are not duplicated from previous publications, we use Turnitin, iThenticate or Grammarly on every published article. The publication ethics, attributed to all journals of The ISRDO, are based on the guidelines of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Code of Conduct. Our all journals follow COPE standards for publication ethics.

Authors wishing to publish their papers in our journals must abide to the following:

• Any facts that might be perceived as a possible conflict of interest of the author(s) must be disclosed in the paper prior to submission (see FOR AUTHORS section).
• Authors should accurately present their research findings and include an objective discussion of the significance of their findings.
• Data and methods used in the research need to be presented in sufficient detail in the paper, so that other researchers can replicate the work.
• Raw data should preferably be publicly deposited by the authors during/after submission of their manuscript. Authors need to at least have the raw data readily available for presentation to the referees and the editors of the journal, if requested. Authors need to ensure appropriate measures are taken so that raw data is retained in full for a reasonable time after publication.
• Simultaneous submission of manuscripts to more than one journal is not tolerated.
• Republishing content that is not novel is not tolerated (for example, an English translation of a paper that is already published in another language will not be accepted).
• If errors and inaccuracies are found by the authors after publication of their paper, they need to be promptly communicated to the editors of this journal so that appropriate actions can be taken.
• The manuscript should not contain any information that has already been published. If author includes already published figures or images, obtaining the necessary permission from the copyright holder to publish under the CC-BY license is essential.
• Plagiarism, data fabrication and image manipulation are not tolerated.
• Image files must not be manipulated or adjusted in any way that could lead to misinterpretation of the information provided by the original image.
