Research and Publication Ethics

At Wisdom Journal of Science and Technology, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of research and publication ethics. All authors must follow ethical guidelines to safeguard the integrity, transparency, and credibility of the published research.

• Originality and Accuracy: Authors must submit original work and ensure the accuracy of their data. Fabrication, falsification, and selective reporting are strictly prohibited.
• Proper Citation and Permissions: Any information sourced from previously published work must be properly cited. If copyrighted content is used, a permission letter from the original author or publisher is required. Content submitted without written permission will be assumed to be the author’s own work. Wisdom Journal of Science and Technology will not be liable for any copyright disputes.
• Acknowledgment of Contributions: Authors must acknowledge all sources, collaborators, and funding bodies involved in the research.
• Authorship Criteria: Only those who have made significant contributions to the research should be listed as authors. Approval from all co-authors must be obtained before manuscript submission. Those who have provided support but have not contributed to the research should be featured in an acknowledgements section. 
• Conflict of Interest: Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may influence their research.
• Data Availability: Authors are responsible for preserving the original data and providing access for verification upon request.
• Research Ethics: Studies involving animals must comply with ethical guidelines for humane treatment. Studies involving human participants must adhere to ethical guidelines, with proper approvals from relevant authorities. Informed consent must be obtained and documented. For research on sensitive information, ethical clearance must be submitted.
• Use of AI Tools: In line with COPE’s position statement, Large Language Models (LLMs) cannot be credited as authors, as they lack the ability to conceptualize research or ensure the integrity and validity of the work. Authors must specify any content created or modified using AI tools, cite the name and version of the tool, and appropriately refer any external sources used by the AI. Basic spelling and grammar tools are exempt from this requirement. The Editor and Publisher reserve the right to decide on the acceptability of AI tool usage.
• Confidentiality of Data: Authors must ensure that private or sensitive data, including patient information, is anonymized and used ethically, with appropriate permissions where required.
• Peer Review Integrity: Authors must respect the confidentiality of the peer review process. Reviewers must provide fair, unbiased, and timely evaluations while maintaining the confidentiality of the submitted manuscripts.

If ethical concerns arise after publication, Wisdom Journal of Science and Technology reserves the right to retract or correct the article and notify relevant authorities.
