Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

In Revue des Sciences Sociales: Human Society Dynamics, ethical publication is not merely a demand of the publication; it is academic trust. In our opinion, good research must be credible and require honesty, transparency, and accountability on the part of all persons involved in the publication process.

Our Ethical Framework

Instead of looking at ethics as a checklist, we believe that it represents a collective role among the authors, reviewers, and editors.

A. Ethical Expectations from Authors

The following are the principles that the authors should uphold:

✓ Originality and Authenticity

• Entries should be pure originality.
• Plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or duplication is not allowed.

✓ Accurate Reporting

• The information should be reported honestly.
• It is not acceptable to fabricate, falsify, or manipulate data.

✓ Proper Acknowledgment

• Every source has to be referenced properly.
• Authors who qualify need to be presented in accordance.

✓ Transparency

• Funding support (or possible conflict of interest) has to be reported.
• When submitting the manuscript, it should not be under consideration in another journal.

Non-compliance can lead to rejection or even punishment.

B. Ethical Expectations from Reviewers

Reviewers help in upholding the academic standards and are supposed to:

• Observe a high level of confidentiality on submitted manuscripts.
• Give constructive, fair, and unbiased feedback.
• Do not examine papers in which there is a conflict of interest.
• Report to the editor in case of ethical issues or plagiarism.

The work has to be evaluated through a review that is conducted according to academic merit only

C. Editorial Responsibilities.

The editorial board believes in:

• Making decisions based on publication impartially and independently.
• Providing a fair and confidential peer review procedure.
• Handling misconduct claims on time.
• Preserving the scholarly history.

No commercial or personal interest ever goes into editorial decisions.

Handling Misconduct

In cases involving:

• Plagiarism
• Duplicate submission
• Fabrication or falsification of data.
• Unethical conduct in research.

The journal can do such things as:

• Rejection of the manuscript immediately.
• Cancellation of a published article.
• Communication to related institutions where there is a need.

Corrections and Retractions Policy

In case major mistakes or ethical breaches have been noted once the publication has taken place, the journal will issue corrections, clarifications, or retractions to maintain transparency and academic integrity.

Our Commitment to Integrity

The journal Revue des Sciences Sociales: Human Society Dynamics is focused on a responsible research culture. Through our good ethical practices, we look forward to establishing a publication environment that is based on credibility, fairness, and scholarly excellence.
