PUBLISHING ETHICS
MISRJ considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that:
The manuscript is your own original work, and does not duplicate any previously published work;
The manuscript has been submitted only to the journal - it is not under consideration or peer review or accepted for publication or in
pressor published elsewhere;
All listed authors know of and agree to the manuscript being submitted to the journal; and
The manuscript contains nothing abusive, defamatory, fraudulent, illegal, libelous, or obscene.
Text taken directly or closely paraphrased from earlier published work that has not been acknowledged or referenced will be considered plagiarism. Submitted manuscripts in which such text is identified will be withdrawn from the editorial process. Any concerns raised about possible plagiarism or other violations of ethical guidelines in an article submitted to or published in MISRJ will be investigated fully and dealt with in accordance
Minimum Requirements for Authorship
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship, and all those who qualify should be listed. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. One or more authors should take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole, from inception to published article.
Authorship credit should be based only on:
a) Substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data and
b) Final approval of the version to be published.
Acquisition of funding, the collection of data, or general supervision of the research group, by themselves, do not justify authorship.
Minimum Requirements for Acknowledgments
List all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship, such as a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair who provided only general support. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged.
