Papers sent to the Journal of International Civilisation Studies must comply with the ethical principles outlined below.
Co-authorship: The authors should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the submitted paper. The authors of the paper should be finalized before the presentation of the paper. It is unacceptable to include the names of those who did not participate in the research (gift authorship) or not to include the names of those who contributed (ghost authorship).
Acknowledgements: Authors are required to list the organisations or individuals who have supported the work they have sent.
Authenticity and freedom from plagiarism: The submitted work should belong entirely to its authors. If the work of other researchers is included in the paper, it should be cited appropriately and these studies should be listed in the references. The author is responsible for checking the paper using one of the plagiarism prevention software Turnit-in or iThenticate and sending a similarity report to the journal as an application to the paper. Papers with a similarity score of 15% or more will not be evaluated.
Ethics committee permission and approval: Questionnaire, scale, interview, observation, etc. from participants. The paper should state that ethics committee approval is obtained for studies that require data collection in different ways. The research should provide evidence of sensitivity to ethical issues in the data collection process (e.g. obtaining permission to use scales, questionnaires, photographs belonging to others).
Slicing: Authors should not analyse research results in a way that compromises the integrity of the study and inappropriately split it into more than one issue and submit these publications as separate publications for academic appointments and promotion.
Submission and storage of raw data. Authors are obliged to submit the raw data of their research at the request of the editor and reviewers and to keep this data after publication of their papers.
Detection of errors in published papers: when an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in a paper he/she have published in the Journal of International Civilization Studies, he/she must immediately notify the journal editor and cooperate with him or her to withdraw or correct the paper.
