Ensuring the integrity of academic publishing is at the heart of what we do. Every manuscript that passes through our system represents the hard work, dedication, and intellectual contribution of researchers. That’s why we uphold the highest ethical standards in publishing—because research deserves to be built on trust, honesty, and transparency.
1. Authorship & Originality
Every submitted manuscript must be original, meaning it hasn’t been published elsewhere or is under review by another journal.
All listed authors should have significantly contributed to the research. Adding or removing authors without proper justification is not allowed.
Proper credit must be given to all contributors, and ghostwriting or honorary authorship is strictly prohibited.
2. Plagiarism & Data Integrity
We take plagiarism seriously. Manuscripts are checked for similarity, and any form of copied work without proper citation will lead to rejection.
Data manipulation, falsification, or fabrication is unacceptable. If errors are discovered after publication, we will issue corrections or retractions as needed.
3. Peer Review & Confidentiality
The peer review process ensures the credibility of research. Authors should respect feedback from reviewers and respond professionally to their comments.
Reviewers and editors must maintain confidentiality and avoid using unpublished research for personal gain.
4. Conflicts of Interest
Authors, reviewers, and editors should disclose any financial, personal, or institutional conflicts of interest that could influence the research or publication process.
5. Ethical Research Practices
Research involving human or animal subjects must comply with ethical guidelines and include necessary approvals from relevant ethics committees.
Informed consent should be obtained from participants, and sensitive data must be handled with care.
6. Handling Misconduct
If misconduct is suspected—whether plagiarism, unethical research practices, or data manipulation—we investigate thoroughly.
Depending on the severity, actions may range from manuscript rejection to banning authors from future submissions.
7. Open Access & Transparency
We believe in making research widely accessible. Authors retain copyright to their work, and published articles are freely available to researchers worldwide.
Publishing is more than just sharing research—it’s about contributing to a body of knowledge that others can trust and build upon. Hollex Scientific Journals is committed to upholding these values, ensuring that every article we publish meets the highest ethical standards
