Other Editorial Policies

Plagiarism and Research Integrity

IASR Multidisciplinary Journal expects all submitted manuscripts to be original and free from plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, duplicate publication, and other forms of research misconduct. Manuscripts may be checked for plagiarism or inappropriate textual overlap during the editorial process. Where concerns arise, the journal may request clarification or take appropriate editorial action.

Corrections and Retractions

The journal is committed to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the published record. If a significant error is identified after publication, the journal may publish a correction or other appropriate editorial notice.

Where published research is found to contain serious errors, unreliable findings, or significant ethical or publication concerns, the journal may issue a retraction or expression of concern, as appropriate.

Article Withdrawal

Authors may request withdrawal of a manuscript before publication by contacting the editorial office and providing a reasonable explanation. Once an article has been formally published, withdrawal is generally not permitted except in exceptional circumstances involving serious ethical, legal, or publication-integrity concerns.

Complaints and Appeals

Authors and other stakeholders may contact the editorial office regarding complaints, editorial decisions, or concerns related to the publication process. Complaints and appeals will be considered fairly and objectively. Where appropriate, the journal may request additional information before reaching a decision.
