PUBLICATION AND ETHICAL POLICY

To ensure high-quality standards in research publications, to keep public interest in the research findings every journal has to keep some ethical standards. International Journal of Quality in Education IJQE tries its best to maintain these standards for publications. Ethics and integrity are the two most significant components of the research activities while plagiarism is the process of taking other people’s words and/or ideas and pretending that they are your own. In other words, Plagiarism is a type of intellectual theft by stealing other people’s work ideas, critical arguments, and sentence structure. Morally, it is a similar act to stealing a mobile phone or money. IJQE will not be responsible for further action on the Plagiarism issue. The author will be solely responsible for the content of their work and for the plagiarism issue.
