Publication Ethics

AJ-RED is committed to upholding the highest standards of research integrity in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
All authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to adhere to these principles throughout the publication process.

Originality: All submissions must represent original, unpublished work. Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, is strictly prohibited and monitored via automated screening tools prior to peer review.
Peer Review: AJ-RED employs a strict double-blind peer-review system to ensure unbiased, merit-based evaluation of all submissions.
Conflict of Interest: Authors must disclose any financial, institutional, or personal relationships that could be perceived as influencing their research or its interpretation.
Data Integrity: Falsification or fabrication of data constitutes a serious breach of research ethics and is grounds for immediate rejection and potential reporting to the author’s institution.
AI-Generated Content: The use of artificial intelligence tools in manuscript preparation must be transparently disclosed. AI may not be listed as an author and may not replace original intellectual contribution.
