Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication

The publication of an article in peer-reviewed DJES Journals is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the authors, the journal editors, the peer reviewers, the publisher and the society.

 DJES as publisher of this Journal takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognize our ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprint or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, the DJES and Editorial Board will assist in communications with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful and necessary.

Publication decisions

The editors of the DJES journals are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.
Fair play

Confidentiality
The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions   Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

Ethical Approval Code (EAC)

 

EAC is required for all studies on Engineering  Science. The code must be approved by author’s local authorities.

 

All researches involving human participants and/or human issues require ethical approval (EA) by DJES Research Ethics Committees (REC).

 

By obtaining EA, the researcher is demonstrating that they have adhered to the accepted ethical standards of a genuine research study.
