Publication Ethics and Policies

Research Ethics

All research involving human participants must have been approved by an appropriate ethics committee. Informed consent must have been obtained from all participants. Studies involving animal subjects must comply with institutional and national guidelines.

1. The study has not been published (partly or as a whole) before or is not under consideration for publication elsewhere (except as an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis); We will consider manuscripts that have been deposited in preprint servers such as arXiv or published in institutional repositories. We will also consider work that has been presented at conferences (Significant amount of changes should be made before submission to the journal and proper citation of the conference paper is required). Submission of a manuscript clearly indicates that authors grant a license to publish the article and identify itself as the original publisher. The submitting author (corresponding author) is responsible for ensuring that the article's publication has been approved by all the other coauthors and after the publication of the paper author-dispute related issues will not be entertained. It is also the corresponding authors' responsibility to ensure that the articles emanating from a particular institution are submitted with the approval of the necessary institution.

2. Its publication is permitted by all authors and after accepted for publication it will not be submitted for publication anywhere else, in English or in any other language, without the written approval of the copyright holder. The journal may consider manuscripts that are translations of articles originally published in another language. In this case, the consent of the journal in which the article was originally published must be obtained and the fact that the article has already been published must be made clear on submission and stated in the abstract.

3. It is compulsory for the authors to ensure that no material submitted as part of a manuscript infringes existing copyrights or the rights of a third party.

4. If a submitted study replicates or is very similar to previous work, authors must provide a sound scientific rationale for the submitted work and clearly reference and discuss the existing literature. Submissions that replicate or are derivative of existing work will likely be rejected if authors do not provide adequate justification.

5. This publisher believes that no manuscript should be rejected only on the basis of ‘lack of Novelty’, provided the manuscript is sufficiently robust and technically sound. Too often a journal's decision to publish a paper is dominated by what the Editor/reviewer think is interesting and will gain greater readership — both of which are subjective judgments and lead to decisions which are frustrating and delay the publication. The journals will rigorously peer-review your submissions and publish all papers that are judged to be technically sound. Judgments about the importance of any particular paper are then made after publication by the readership (who are the most qualified to determine what is of interest to them).

Authorship

All listed authors must have made a substantial contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors have approved the final version and agreed to its submission.

Plagiarism

Submitted manuscripts must be original work not previously published and not under consideration elsewhere. Springs Journal uses plagiarism detection software to screen all submissions.

Conflict of Interest

Authors must disclose any financial or personal relationships that could be viewed as influencing the work reported in this paper.

Corrections and Retractions

The journal is committed to maintaining the integrity of the scientific record. Corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions will be issued as appropriate following established procedures.
