The Journal of International Community Engagement and Technology (JICET) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against publication malpractice. The journal adheres to internationally recognized ethical principles to ensure the integrity, transparency, and quality of the scholarly publication process.

Editors are responsible for making impartial publication decisions based solely on the manuscript's academic merit, originality, methodological rigor, and relevance to the journal's scope. All submissions are evaluated fairly without discrimination based on the authors' race, gender, nationality, institutional affiliation, or political or religious beliefs. Editors also ensure the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and avoid conflicts of interest throughout the editorial process.

Reviewers play a vital role in maintaining the quality of published research. They are expected to conduct objective, constructive, and timely peer reviews while treating all manuscripts as confidential documents. Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited and report any suspected plagiarism, data fabrication, or ethical concerns to the editors. They must also decline to review manuscripts when conflicts of interest exist.

Authors are expected to submit original work that has not been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. All data presented in the manuscript should be accurate, honestly reported, and supported by appropriate evidence. Authors must properly acknowledge the work of others through accurate citations and disclose any financial or personal conflicts of interest that could influence the research. Any significant errors discovered after publication should be promptly reported to the editorial office so that corrections or retractions can be issued when necessary.

JICET has zero tolerance for research misconduct, including plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, data falsification, citation manipulation, and unethical authorship practices. All submitted manuscripts may be screened using plagiarism detection software before entering the peer-review process. Manuscripts found to violate ethical standards will be rejected, and published articles may be corrected or retracted when ethical breaches are confirmed.

By submitting a manuscript to JICET, authors confirm that they comply with these ethical standards and agree to cooperate with the editorial board in upholding the integrity of scholarly publishing.
