Core Principles
- Originality and avoidance of plagiarism.
- Accurate authorship and contributor disclosure.
- Transparent conflicts of interest and funding statements.
- Ethical approval for human or animal research where required.
- Correction of significant errors after publication.
Misconduct Handling
Concerns may lead to clarification requests, corrections, expressions of concern, retractions, or institutional notification depending on the evidence.
Detailed Guidance
Aperito Publishing expects authors, reviewers, and editors to follow recognized publication ethics standards for originality, authorship, data integrity, and conflict disclosure.
Potential concerns such as plagiarism, duplicate submission, image manipulation, undeclared conflicts, authorship disputes, or research misconduct are reviewed carefully.
Corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions may be issued when the scholarly record needs clarification or correction.
