Publication Ethics

The SRAI Journal of Linguistics and Social Sciences (SRAIJLSS) is firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics, guided by the principles of transparency, integrity, and accountability. The journal adheres to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines to ensure that all stakeholders—authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers—maintain ethical conduct throughout the publication process. Authors must submit only original work, properly cite all sources, avoid plagiarism in any form, and disclose any potential conflicts of interest. Editors are responsible for making impartial decisions based solely on scholarly merit, free from bias or personal interest, and must ensure confidentiality during the review process. Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, and timely evaluations while respecting the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts. Any form of unethical behavior, including fabrication, falsification, redundant publication, or data manipulation, will result in immediate investigation and appropriate corrective action, which may include retraction. By engaging with SRAIJLSS, all parties affirm their commitment to fostering a fair, transparent, and ethically responsible scholarly publishing environment.
