IJEER follows principles of responsible scholarly publishing and considers concerns fairly, confidentially, and with appropriate opportunity to respond.
Authorship and originality
Listed authors must have made substantial contributions, approved the submitted version, and accepted accountability for the work. Plagiarism, duplicate submission, fabricated or falsified data, citation manipulation, and undisclosed conflicts are prohibited. Submissions may be screened for text similarity.
Human and animal research
Research involving people, identifiable data, or animals must report appropriate ethics approval, consent, and safeguards, or explain why approval was not required.
Competing interests, funding, and data
Authors must disclose financial and non-financial competing interests, funding and sponsor roles, and data availability. Editors and reviewers must recuse themselves when impartial assessment is not possible.
Artificial intelligence
AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Authors must disclose substantive AI assistance and remain responsible for accuracy, originality, citations, confidentiality, and interpretation. Reviewers and editors must not upload confidential manuscripts to external AI systems.
Corrections, retractions, and concerns
Material errors may be addressed through a correction, expression of concern, or retraction. Decisions are based on the reliability of the scholarly record rather than punishment. Concerns should be sent to editor@ijeer.org.
Complaints and appeals
Authors may submit a reasoned appeal identifying a procedural or factual error. A person not responsible for the original decision will review the appeal where practicable. Complaints about process, conduct, or conflicts are acknowledged and examined separately from the manuscript’s academic merits.
