The Journal of Basic and Applied Research in Biomedicine is firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and actively adheres to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). This statement outlines the ethical expectations for authors, editors, and reviewers, and addresses concerns related to authorship, plagiarism, data integrity, peer review, conflicts of interest, and other misconduct.
Authorship should be limited to those who have made substantial contributions to the research. This includes: Designing the study, acquiring or analyzing data, Drafting and revising the manuscript, Approving the final version for publication, and Accepting accountability for all aspects of the work.
Submission implies that all listed authors have read and approved the final manuscript and consent to its submission. All authors must take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and ethical conduct of the study.
Plagiarism, whether intentional or unintentional, is strictly prohibited. This includes: [1] Copying text, data, or figures without proper citation [2] Rephrasing another author’s ideas without acknowledgment [3] Submitting someone else’s work as one’s own.
Journal of Basic and Applied Research in Biomedicine uses plagiarism detection software for all submitted manuscripts. Any manuscript found to contain plagiarism will be rejected, and in severe cases, already published articles may be retracted. Authors’ institutions may be notified, and Journal of Basic and Applied Research in Biomedicine disclaims responsibility for any consequences arising from such misconduct. The responsibility lies solely with the author.
Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to Journal of Basic and Applied Research in Biomedicine and should not have been previously published or be under consideration elsewhere. Substantial overlap with previously published work, even in a different language, without proper disclosure is considered duplicate publication and will lead to rejection. Salami slicing, dividing one study into several publications, is discouraged unless scientifically justified.
Manipulating or fabricating data, images, or results is a serious breach of ethics and will not be tolerated. Any such misconduct will result in manuscript rejection or retraction of published articles and may lead to notification of institutional authorities.
Citations must be relevant, necessary, and based on merit. Unjustified self-citation or coercive citation aimed at inflating citation metrics (e.g., h-index) is considered unethical and will be addressed by editorial action.
Research involving human or animal subjects must have prior approval from a recognized institutional ethics committee. Authors must state the approval number and date within the manuscript. Human research must comply with the Declaration of Helsinki, and written informed consent must be obtained from participants or guardians. For animal studies, proper ethical guidelines must be followed and clearly stated in the Methods section.
Authors are expected to respect intellectual property laws, including copyrights, trademarks, and licensing. All data and materials used in the research must be legally obtained and properly cited.
All authors must declare any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest that could influence the research or its interpretation. Funding sources must be disclosed in the manuscript, including institutional, private, or corporate support.
Journal of Basic and Applied Research in Biomedicine employs a double-blind peer review process. Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two independent experts who are not affiliated with the authors and preferably from different countries. Reviewers are selected based on academic qualifications and may be drawn from major international databases.
Decisions are made within approximately six weeks of submission. Manuscripts that fall outside the journal’s scope, fail to meet scientific or ethical standards (e.g., plagiarism, falsification, authorship fraud), or receive two negative reviews will be rejected. Only scientifically sound and ethically compliant articles are considered for publication.
Accepted manuscripts will be sent as PDF or MS word proofs to the corresponding author for typographical correction. Proofs must be returned within 7 days. Articles will be published online continuously as soon as they approved.
The publisher, editors, and co-publishers of the Journal of Basic and Applied Research in Biomedicine accept no responsibility for: [1] Injuries or damages arising from the use of published materials [2] Any libelous statements or infringements of rights [3] Product claims or instructional errors within published content. All content is published in good faith, and the responsibility for scientific accuracy and legal compliance lies solely with the authors.
