Publication Ethics and Publication Misconduct Statement

At TISJ, we are committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in the publication of scientific research. In accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines, this Publication Ethics and Publication Misconduct Statement outlines the responsibilities and ethical conduct expected of authors, reviewers, and editors during the manuscript submission, review, and publication process. We also provide details on how allegations of publication misconduct are handled to ensure the integrity of the academic record.

Our goal is to foster an ethical, transparent, and responsible publishing environment where academic research can be disseminated with accuracy and reliability.
