The Journal of Applied Science Education and Innovation is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all necessary measures to prevent and address publication malpractice. The Editorial Team bears primary responsibility for safeguarding the integrity of the publication process. Unethical conduct in any form is strictly prohibited, including plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct.

Submission of a manuscript implies that the authors confirm the originality of the work and declare that it has not been previously published, in whole or in part, in any language, nor is it under consideration elsewhere. Editors, authors, and reviewers are expected to adhere to the principles of ethical publishing practice as outlined in the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Code of Conduct and Core Practices.

Publication and Authorship

• All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process conducted by at least two international reviewers with relevant expertise.

• Evaluation criteria include relevance to the journal’s scope, methodological rigor, scholarly significance, originality, clarity of presentation, and language quality.

• Editorial decisions may include acceptance, acceptance with revisions, or rejection.

• An invitation to revise and resubmit does not guarantee final acceptance.

• Rejected manuscripts will not be reconsidered for further review.

• Acceptance decisions are subject to applicable legal requirements concerning defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

• Research findings must not be published in more than one journal or publication outlet.
