Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

Peer Review Policy

To scrutinize an author’s scholarly manuscript from others who are experts in the domain, prior to publication process is defined as a peer review process. Journal of Computer & Information (JUCIT) follows a double blind peer review process to  filter from a collection of manuscripts we receive in every issue. As a result of the peer review process of Computer and Information Technology Journal Bhopal India   team generates a detailed review report which acts as a guide to authors, so they enhance the manuscript further(if required). It stimulates a desire to for improvement among young and energetic authors.Peer review is defined as obtaining advice on individual manuscripts from reviewers expert in the field  who are not part of the journal's editorial staff.

The JCIT follows the Principle of Transperancy and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing  of COPE Committee On Publication Ethics.

Publication Ethics Policy

Getting your manuscript published in a peer reviewed journal is an essential step to escalate in the consistent and respected network of knowledge ladders. It gives an impression to the author’s work quality and the institutions which support them. Such articles endorse the scientific method, it is thus important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for the parties included: the publisher, the journal team, the author(s).The Journal of Computer & Information Technolgy  follows the Code of Conduct as defined by the COPE. Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE).  

Responsibility of Authors

The authors names should be listed on the article in order of their contribution to the article, and all authors take responsibility for their own contributions. Only those individuals who have made a substantive contribution should be listed as authors, those whose contributions are indirect or marginal (Example. Colleagues or supervisor who have reviewed drafts of the work or provided proofreading assistance, head of research institutes/centres/labs) should be named in an “Acknowledgements” section at the end of the article, immediately preceding the reference list. The corresponding author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the articles and that all listed co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the articles and agreed upon its publication.

Where an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in an article of his/her that has been published in JUCIT, the author has the obligation to promptly notify the editors and cooperate with them to correct the article or retract it as appropriate

An author should not normally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same in multiple journals or publication venues. Such redundant publication is generally considered to constitute unethical publishing behaviour, and if considered may result in a manuscript under consideration being rejected, or a published article being retracted.

Authors of manuscripts reporting on original research should present an accurate account of the work performed, accompanied by an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. The fabrication of results and the making of fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and may be cause for rejection or retraction of a manuscript or published article.

Where the manuscript reports on commercial software, hardware, or other products, authors must include a declaration at the beginning of the manuscript in which they must either state that no conflict of interest exists or describe the nature of any potential conflict. All sources of financial support for the research should also be disclosed in the manuscript.

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents and must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by JUCIT chief editor.

They should bring it to the attention of the editor/chief editor any major resemblances between a manuscript under consideration and other published articles or papers of which they are aware, as well as concerns they might have in relation to the ethical acceptability of the research reported in the manuscript.
