Déclaration d'éthique et de faute professionnelle dans la publication

Éthique de la publication

Des normes éthiques en matière de publication existent pour garantir la qualité des publications scientifiques, la confiance du public dans les découvertes scientifiques et pour que les gens soient reconnus pour leur travail et leurs réflexions.

Le Journal of Computer Engineering and Information Technology  suit le code de conduite du Comité international des éditeurs de revues médicales (ICMJE) et les lignes directrices des meilleures pratiques pour les éditeurs de revues en matière d'éthique de publication.

Évaluation des articles

Tous les manuscrits sont soumis à un examen par les pairs et doivent répondre aux normes d'excellence académique. Si elles sont acceptées par l'éditeur, les soumissions seront examinées par des pairs évaluateurs, dont l'identité restera anonyme pour les auteurs.

Notre équipe d'intégrité de la recherche demandera occasionnellement des conseils en dehors de l'examen par les pairs standard, par exemple sur des soumissions ayant de graves implications éthiques, de sécurité, de biosécurité ou sociétales. Nous pouvons consulter des experts et l'éditeur académique avant de décider des actions appropriées, y compris, mais sans s'y limiter, le recrutement d'évaluateurs possédant une expertise spécifique, l'évaluation par des éditeurs supplémentaires et le refus d'examiner davantage une soumission.

Plagiat

Les auteurs n'ont plus besoin d'utiliser les mots, les chiffres ou les idées d'autrui sans attribution. Toutes les sources doivent être citées au point où elles sont utilisées, et la réutilisation des termes doit être restreinte et être attribuée ou citée dans le texte.

Les manuscrits dont on constaterait qu'ils sont plagiés à partir d'un manuscrit d'autres auteurs, qu'ils soient publiés ou inédits, seront rejetés et les auteurs pourront encourir des sanctions supplémentaires. Tout article publié peut également devoir être corrigé ou retiré.

Soumission en double et publication redondante

Le Journal of Computer Engineering and Information Technology  ne considère que le contenu original, c'est-à-dire les articles qui n'ont pas été publiés auparavant, y compris dans une langue autre que l'anglais. Les articles basés sur un contenu précédemment rendu public uniquement sur un serveur de prépublication, un référentiel institutionnel ou dans une thèse seront pris en compte.

Manuscripts submitted to this journal must not be submitted elsewhere while under consideration and must be withdrawn before being submitted elsewhere. Authors whose articles are found to have been simultaneously submitted elsewhere may incur sanctions.

If authors have used their own previously published work, or work that is currently under review, as the basis for a submitted manuscript, they must cite the previous articles and indicate how their submitted manuscript differs from their previous work. Reuse of the author’s own words outside the methods should be attributed or quoted in the text. Reuse of the author’s own figures or substantial amounts of wording may require permission from the copyright holder and the authors are responsible for obtaining this.

Journal of Computer Engineering and Information Technology will consider extended versions of articles published at conferences provided this is declared in the cover letter, the previous version is clearly cited and discussed, there is significant new content, and any necessary permission are obtained.

Redundant publication, the inappropriate division of study outcomes into more than one article, may result in rejection or a request to merge submitted manuscripts, and the correction of published articles. Duplicate publication of the same, or a very similar, article may result in the retraction of the later article and the authors may incur sanctions.

Citation manipulation

Authors whose submitted manuscripts are found to include citations whose primary purpose is to increase the number of citations to a given author’s work, or to articles published in a particular journal, may incur sanctions.

Editors and reviewers must not ask authors to include references merely to increase citations to their own or an associate’s work to the journal or to another journal they are associated with.

Fabrication and falsification

The authors of submitted manuscripts or published articles that are found to have fabricated or falsified the results, including the manipulation of images, may incur sanctions, and published articles may be retracted.

Authorship and acknowledgements

All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript, approved its claims, and agreed to be an author. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution. Submitting authors must provide an ORCID and we encourage all authors to provide one. Changes in authorship must be declared to this journal and agreed to by all authors. An author may change their name on a published article (see below).

Anyone who contributed to the research or manuscript preparation, but is not an author, should be acknowledged with their permission.

Submissions by anyone other than one of the authors will not be considered.

 

Conflicts of interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Editor will take reviewer misconduct seriously and pursue any allegation of breach of confidentiality, non-declaration of conflicts of interest (financial or non-financial), inappropriate use of confidential material, or delay of peer review for competitive advantage. Allegations of serious reviewer misconduct, such as plagiarism, will be taken to the institutional level.

Authors

Authors must declare all potential interests in a ‘Conflicts of interest’ section, which should explain why the interest may be a conflict. If there are none, the authors should state “The author declares that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this paper.” Submitting authors are responsible for co-authors declaring their interests.

Authors must declare current or recent funding (including article processing charges) and other payments, goods or services that might influence the work. All funding, whether a conflict or not, must be declared in the ‘Funding Statement’.

Declared conflicts of interest will be considered by the editor and reviewers and included in the published article.

Author(s) should state that the study they are submitting was approved by the relevant research ethics committee or institutional review board. If human participants were involved, manuscripts must be accompanied by a statement that the experiments were undertaken with the understanding and appropriate informed consent of each. If experimental animals were used, the materials and methods (experimental procedures) section must clearly indicate that appropriate measures were taken to minimize pain or discomfort, and details of animal care should be provided.

Editors and Reviewers

Editors and reviewers should decline to be involved with a submission when they

• Have a recent publication or current submission with any author
• Share or recently shared an affiliation with any author
• Collaborate or recently collaborated with any author
• Have a close personal connection to any author
• Have a financial interest in the subject of the work
• Feel unable to be objective

Reviewers must declare any remaining interests in the ‘Confidential’ section of the review form, which will be considered by the editor.

Editors and reviewers must declare if they have previously discussed the manuscript with the authors.

 

Corrections and retractions

When errors are identified in published articles, the publisher will consider what action is required and may consult the editors and the author’s institution(s).

Errors by the authors may be corrected by a corrigendum and errors by the publisher by an erratum.

Les articles rétractés seront conservés en ligne et seront clairement marqués comme une rétractation dans toutes les versions en ligne, y compris le PDF, pour le bénéfice des futurs lecteurs.

Il sera demandé à tous les auteurs d'accepter le contenu de l'avis.

Un changement de nom d'auteur après publication sera apporté à l'article et à tout article citant publié par la revue sans nécessiter de documentation, d'avis de corrigendum, ni informer les autres auteurs, suite à une demande adressée à la revue.
