Publication Decisions

The editors of J-FRISMA are responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal will be published. The validity of the work in question and its significance to researchers and readers must always form the basis of this decision. The Editor may be guided by the journal’s editorial board policies and constrained by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor may consult with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fair Play

An editor evaluates manuscripts solely on the basis of their intellectual content, regardless of the author’s race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality

Editors and all editorial staff must not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the authors concerned, reviewers, prospective reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Unpublished material disclosed in submitted manuscripts must not be used in the editor’s own research without the authors’ written consent.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and, through editorial communication with the author, can also help the author improve the manuscript.

Timeliness

Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a submitted manuscript or who knows that a timely review is unlikely must notify the editor and withdraw from the review process.

Confidentiality

Every manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. The manuscript must not be shown or discussed with others unless authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers must clearly state their views, supported by relevant arguments.

Citation of Sources

Reviewers must identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the author. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported must be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer must also inform the editor of any substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and any other published papers of which they are personally aware.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers must not consider manuscripts that involve a conflict of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any author, company, or institution associated with the paper.

Authors’ Responsibilities

Reporting Standards

Authors of original research reports must present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Raw data must be accurately presented in the paper. A paper must contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Misleading or inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behavior.

Data Access and Retention

Authors are requested to provide raw data related to a paper for editorial review and must be prepared to provide public access to such data (in accordance with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if possible, and in any case must be prepared to retain the data for a reasonable period after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that they have produced a work that is entirely original, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, these have been properly cited or attributed.

Multiple, Redundant, or Simultaneous Publication

In general, an author must not publish a manuscript that essentially describes the same research in more than one journal or major publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

Acknowledgments

Proper acknowledgment of others’ work must always be given. Authors must cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported research. All those who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. If others have participated in specific substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that no inappropriate co-authors are included, and that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Disclosures and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscripts any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that could be interpreted as influencing the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in a published work, it is the author’s responsibility to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
