The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them.
Scientific Journal of Technology (SJT) is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Duties of Authors
- An author is a person who has a substantial contribution to the article; all other contributions should be mentioned as acknowledgments.
- Authors should cite only the articles which have contributed to their work; unnecessary citations should not be listed.
- Authors should present their work as objectively as possible. Arguments that discriminate against people by race, sex, origin, religion, etc., are not accepted.
- Bogus results must not be given.
- The manuscript must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Duties of Reviewers
- Reviewers should not take advantage of the manuscript; instead, they should help the authors to improve their work.
- Reviewers should not criticize the manuscripts in public.
- The Editor guarantees the anonymity of the reviewer.
Peer Review Process
SJT operates a peer review process where submitted papers are reviewed by technical committees of the Journal and Association. All articles are rigorously and fast reviewed meeting the Journal Quality standards.
Plagiarism Policy
Authors are required to ensure the originality of their work. Plagiarism in any form constitutes a serious violation of publication ethics and will lead to rejection or retraction.
Corrections and Retractions
Confirmed cases of misconduct will be handled according to COPE flowcharts. Actions may include rejection, correction, expression of concern, retraction, and notification of the author’s institution and funders where appropriate.
