Publication Ethics & Research Integrity
Guiding standards for authors, reviewers, editors, and conference chairs.
1. Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Standards
The International Research Papers Organisation (IRPO) enforces editorial integrity aligned with the core practices of COPE. All participating journals, authors, and editors agree to comply with ethical publishing rules.
2. Plagiarism and Originality
Manuscripts submitted to IRPO journals must represent original research. Any form of verbatim copying, uncredited paraphrasing, or image manipulation is strictly prohibited and grounds for immediate rejection or post-publication retraction.
3. Double-Anonymous Review Integrity
To prevent bias based on gender, affiliation, or geography, initial submissions undergo double-anonymous review. Neither the author nor the reviewers are revealed to each other during the peer review cycle.
4. Corrections, Addenda, and Retractions
Errors affecting interpretation or scientific validity will be corrected via published correction notices linked to the permanent article landing page. If conclusions are fundamentally compromised, formal retraction notices are issued and archived.
