Publication Ethics
The manuscript publication process in the Journal of Health, Education, Economics, Science, and Technology (J-HEST) strictly adheres to the core principles of Publication Ethics, which include:
-
Honesty: Free from plagiarism, data fabrication, and falsification.
-
Fairness: Proper recognition of copyright and equitable treatment of all authors.
-
Neutrality: Free from any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest.
-
Originality: Ensuring submitted manuscripts are original and have not been published elsewhere.
-
Transparency: Openness across all stages of the review and editorial process.
-
Accountability: Commitment to issuing corrections, clarifications, or retractions when errors are identified.
These ethical guidelines are implemented to preserve scientific integrity and maintain the credibility of authors, peer reviewers, and the editorial team.
Editorial Staff Submissions: Manuscripts involving members of the editorial staff as authors are handled under strict limitations and independent protocols. A maximum of 1 (one) manuscript per issue is permitted for editorial members as the first author, and the review process is managed entirely by independent editors to prevent conflicts of interest.
Fast-Track Review Policy: The fast-track review procedure is conducted strictly in accordance with rules established by the Editorial Board. This expedited process is reserved exclusively for urgent academic circumstances, following formal consultation and approval by the Editorial Team.
Author Mentorship & Development: Every stage of the publication workflow is conducted with a commitment to academic mentorship. J-HEST serves as an inclusive learning platform designed to nurture aspiring researchers and scholars in refining their scientific writing skills while upholding international publishing ethics.
