Research Misconduct

Process for Dealing with Research Misconduct
Post-publication Corrections
     A retraction of a published article may be initiated by the editors of the or by the authors of the article.
     The journal and its editors follow the guidelines according to the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) standard, which means that the CSDJ journal and its editors will consider retracting a publication in the following cases:
     It is proved that the publication contains unreliable findings, either as a result of major errors, fabrication, or falsification of data. It is proved that the publication constitutes plagiarism, or the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper attribution to previous sources or permission to republish. It is found that the publication contains material or data without authorization for use. Unethical research or research misconduct has been reported. The authors have failed to disclose any conflicts of interest or failed to obtain agreement for publication from any other researchers involved in the research process.
     If a publication is retraction, CSDJ journal and its editors will take the following actions: Issue a clear retraction notice on the CSDJ journal website, including the title of the article, the authors' names, and the reasons for the retraction. Notify the highest authority of the authors' affiliated organization about the retraction. Prohibit the authors of the retracted article from publishing with CSDJ journal for a period of 5 years.
Conflicts of interest :   Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that might affect the interpretation of their results. This includes financial, personal, or professional relationships that could influence their research.
Data integrity :  Plagiarism Checking: The journal uses the “CopyCatch” plagiarism detection tool. If the manuscript has a similarity index of more than 25%, we ask the author to make corrections. Failure to make corrections may result in the manuscript being rejected, which is the end of the review process.
