Ethics and Malpractice

Public information for Demo Journal.

Publication ethics

Demo Journal adheres to COPE principles on authorship, duplicate publication, citation manipulation, and research integrity. Suspected misconduct is investigated promptly and fairly.

Plagiarism and image integrity

Submissions may be screened for overlap with published literature. Image manipulation that misrepresents findings is unacceptable. Authors must secure permission for third-party material.

Conflicts of interest

Editors, reviewers, and authors must declare financial, institutional, or personal relationships that could influence editorial judgment. Conflicted editors are recused from affected submissions.

Corrections and retractions

Errata correct publisher errors; corrigenda correct author errors. Retractions are issued when the reliability of published findings is substantially undermined. All post-publication notices are linked from the article record.
