Ethics

 Ethics guidelines

 

In general terms, the Journal of Literary Education adhere to the Committee On Pubblication Ethics policy about peer reviewing (http://publicationethics.org/files/Ethical_guidelines_for_peer_reviewers_0.pdf).

 

Ethics topics to consider when publishing:

 

Authorship of the paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study.

 

Originality and plagiarism: The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

 

• The publisher and journal have a “Zero Tolerance on Plagiarism policy.” We check the plagiarism issue through the reviewer check and plagiarism prevention tool (URKUND).

• If a plagiarism issue arises, it will be the sole responsibility of the Author(s). Journal, Editor or anyone associated with this journal will not be responsible for that, and the article will be removed from the journal archives with immediate effect without any notice to the author(s).

• All submissions will be checked by URKUND or any other plagiarism-checking software before being sent to reviewers.

 

Data access and retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data.

 

Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication: An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. JLE does not view the following uses of a work as prior publication: publication in the form of an abstract; publication as an academic thesis; publication as significantly reduced version in proceedings.

 

Acknowledgement of sources: Proper acknowledgment.

 

Disclosure and conflicts of interest: All submissions must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest.

 

Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

 

Reporting standards: Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance.

 

Use of or case details: Studies on students or volunteers require informed consent, which should be documented in the paper. In case of children, they have to include the parents or tutors consent.

 

 

 

Declaration of interest

 

All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential conflicts of interest include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding.

 

Submission declaration and verification

 

Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis or as in a reduced version as a proceeding), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder.

 

Changes to authorship

 

Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.

 

Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
