Misconduct Policy
Following COPE guidelines, APASCI will not accept any misconduct behaviors that may mislead researchers.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is not acceptable. Using the content from one’s own previously published articles without proper citation is also considered plagiarism. APASCI adopts Crossref Similarity Check (powered by iThenticate) for checking the originality of submissions. Manuscripts with a high similarity index may be rejected.
Fabrication and falsification
Fabrication and falsification of data or images will mislead researchers. APASCI strongly opposes such practices and will reject suspicious submissions.
Duplicate submission
Duplicate submission of a manuscript that has been published or submitted to other journals at the same time will not be considered.
