Publication Ethics and Research Integrity

JurisPolitica is committed to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record and follows internationally recognized principles of responsible scholarly publishing, including relevant guidance issued by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Reference to COPE guidance does not imply COPE membership unless such membership has formally been obtained.

Authorship and Contributorship

Authorship is limited to individuals who have made a substantial scholarly contribution, approved the submitted version, and accept responsibility for the work. Guest, honorary, gift, and ghost authorship are prohibited.

Originality and Misconduct

Plagiarism, unattributed copying, duplicate publication, fabricated or falsified material, citation manipulation, and other forms of research misconduct are prohibited. Similarity reports are used as editorial screening tools and no fixed numerical similarity percentage alone determines acceptance or rejection.

Conflicts, Ethics and Data Integrity

Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose relationships or interests that could reasonably influence their work or judgment. Where applicable, research involving human participants, personal data, confidential information, informed consent, or ethics approval must comply with relevant legal and ethical requirements.

Authors are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the evidence, sources, datasets, and other materials supporting their conclusions.
