Publication Ethics

Parawize Journal is committed to maintaining strong standards of academic integrity. Authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to uphold responsible research and publishing practices.

Responsibilities of Authors

Authors submitting work to the journal are expected to ensure that their manuscripts represent original scholarship and that all sources are properly acknowledged.

Authors must confirm that:

• the manuscript has not been published previously
• the submission is not under consideration by another journal
• all contributors who meet authorship criteria are listed as authors
• relevant sources are cited accurately

Any conflicts of interest that could influence the interpretation of the work should be disclosed at the time of submission.

Responsibilities of Reviewers

Reviewers support the integrity of the journal by providing thoughtful and impartial assessments of submitted manuscripts.

Reviewers are expected to:

• provide constructive and objective feedback
• maintain confidentiality regarding the manuscript
• disclose any potential conflicts of interest
• identify relevant research that may not have been cited

Materials contained in submitted manuscripts must not be used in a reviewer’s own work without the author’s permission.

Responsibilities of Editors

Editors are responsible for ensuring that all submissions are evaluated fairly and on their scholarly merit. Editorial decisions are based on the quality of the research, its contribution to the field, and its relevance to the journal.

Editors also oversee the integrity of the peer review process and ensure that ethical concerns are addressed when they arise.

Corrections and Retractions

If significant errors or ethical concerns are identified in a published article, the journal will investigate the matter and determine the appropriate response. This may include the publication of corrections or, in rare cases, retraction of the article.
