Publication Ethics

IJNM: International Journal of Nitiwya Multidisciplinary is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and academic integrity. All parties involved in the publication process, including authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher, are expected to uphold the principles of honesty, transparency, fairness, confidentiality, and academic responsibility.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that submitted manuscripts are original works, have not been previously published, and are not under consideration by another journal. Any form of research misconduct, including plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, and other unethical practices, is strictly prohibited. All sources must be properly acknowledged, and any potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed by the authors.

Editors are responsible for evaluating manuscripts fairly, objectively, and without discrimination based on authors’ nationality, institutional affiliation, gender, religion, political views, or personal background. Editorial decisions must be based solely on the manuscript’s academic quality, originality, relevance, and scientific contribution.

Reviewers must provide objective, constructive, and timely evaluations. Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents and must not be used for personal benefit. Reviewers are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and decline review assignments when impartiality cannot be guaranteed.

The journal reserves the right to investigate allegations of publication misconduct and take appropriate actions, including manuscript rejection, article correction, retraction, or notification to relevant institutions. Any corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern will be handled transparently to preserve the integrity of the academic record.
