Forms of Research Misconduct
Data Integrity
Fabricating interviews, survey responses, field observations, or manipulating qualitative and quantitative findings.
Ethical Violations
Plagiarism, duplicate publication, breaches of participant confidentiality, or failure to obtain required informed consent.
Investigation and Editorial Action
Allegations are assessed confidentially and fairly. Authors are given an opportunity to respond, and relevant institutions may be consulted when necessary. Confirmed misconduct may result in rejection, correction, expression of concern, or retraction, as appropriate.
Reporting Concerns: Suspected misconduct may be reported to the editorial office with supporting evidence. Honest errors and legitimate scholarly disagreements are not automatically considered misconduct.
