Ethics Statement-Guidelines

Ethics and Malpractices Statement

The IDEA Publishers Group has an unwavering commitment to meeting and upholding ethical behaviour standards at all stages of the publication process, which is a cornerstone of our editorial operations. The IDEA-PG is committed to the highest standards of critical scholarly review and professional publishing judgment. By insisting on thorough peer review procedures combined with careful editorial assessments, IDEA-PG performs an intellectual gatekeeping function, ensuring that only scholarship of the highest quality receives an acceptance for publication in its journals. The journals' editorial teams and all parties involved, including authors, academic editors, advisors, and reviewers, uphold this commitment. Their role in maintaining these standards is crucial, as all are required to conform to the ethical standards and best practices policies of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC). Furthermore, the publication ethics and malpractice policy of IDEA-PG set out all parties' responsibilities to ensure compliance with internationally accepted ethical and culturally competent research guidelines of COPE, DOAJ and HEC Pakistan. The IDEA-PG's commitment to international ethical standards is unwavering, and adherence to these guidelines is crucial. The authors are advised to use the standard procedures to avoid the manuscript's rejection or even a ban from future submissions in IDEA-PG journals.
