Greenfort International Publisher is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical publishing. We adhere to internationally recognized principles of academic integrity, transparency, and professionalism in all aspects of scholarly publishing.
Our ethical framework is guided by the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and other global best-practice standards.
All editorial decisions are made independently by journal editors based solely on the scholarly merit, originality, clarity, and relevance of submitted work. The publisher does not influence editorial decisions regarding acceptance, rejection, or revision of manuscripts.
The publisher is responsible for:
Supporting editors in maintaining ethical editorial practices
Ensuring fair, unbiased, and confidential peer-review processes
Providing transparent policies regarding authorship, plagiarism, and conflicts of interest
Maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record
Editors are expected to:
Evaluate manuscripts fairly without discrimination
Maintain confidentiality of submitted manuscripts
Declare conflicts of interest where applicable
Take appropriate action in cases of ethical misconduct
Authors are expected to:
Submit original work that has not been previously published
Properly acknowledge all sources and contributors
Disclose conflicts of interest
Comply with ethical standards related to human and animal research
Avoid plagiarism, data fabrication, or falsification
Reviewers are expected to:
Provide objective, constructive, and timely reviews
Maintain confidentiality of manuscripts
Declare conflicts of interest
Refrain from using unpublished information for personal advantage
Plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, duplicate submission, and unethical research practices are strictly prohibited. Allegations of misconduct are handled in accordance with COPE guidelines, and appropriate actions may include rejection, retraction, or notification of relevant authorities.
All participants in the publishing process—including authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers—must disclose any financial, institutional, or personal conflicts of interest that could influence their work.
When errors or ethical issues are identified in published content, the publisher supports the timely issuance of corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record.
The publisher supports long-term digital preservation and open access principles where applicable, ensuring permanent availability of scholarly content.
Complaints or appeals related to editorial decisions or ethical issues are handled transparently and fairly. All complaints are reviewed objectively and resolved in accordance with established policies.
