Upholding Integrity in Scholarly Publishing

The International Journal of Pharma Insight Studies (IJPIS) is dedicated to promoting excellence, credibility, and transparency in academic publishing. The journal follows internationally recognized ethical principles to ensure that all published research meets the highest standards of integrity, originality, and scientific responsibility.

Our ethical framework safeguards the interests of authors, reviewers, editors, and readers while strengthening trust in the scholarly communication process.

Commitment to Ethical Excellence

IJPIS maintains a strong commitment to ethical publishing practices across all stages of manuscript handling. Every submission is managed with professionalism, confidentiality, and fairness. The journal actively discourages unethical practices and takes firm action against any form of publication misconduct.

Editorial Ethics and Quality Control

The editorial board ensures that all manuscripts are evaluated purely on academic merit, scientific relevance, originality, and clarity. Editorial decisions are transparent, unbiased, and independent of commercial or personal influence.

All submitted manuscripts are treated as confidential intellectual property. Editorial members disclose any conflicts of interest and recuse themselves when impartial handling cannot be guaranteed.

Reviewers are selected based on subject expertise and are expected to:

  1. Provide objective and constructive evaluations

  3. Declare conflicts of interest
  4. Support ethical and unbiased decision-making

This process ensures that published articles reflect academic rigor and global research standards.

Author Ethics and Responsibilities

  4. Listing only genuine contributors as authors
  5. Disclosing funding sources and conflicts of interest

All authors must approve the final manuscript prior to submission.

Research Ethics and Compliance

Research involving human participants or animals must comply with institutional, national, and international ethical guidelines. Ethical approval and informed consent, where applicable, must be clearly stated in the manuscript.

The journal promotes responsible research conduct and expects authors to retain and provide original data when requested for verification.

Handling Publication Malpractice

IJPIS takes allegations of ethical misconduct seriously. Suspected cases of plagiarism, duplicate publication, unethical research practices, or authorship disputes are investigated thoroughly.

Depending on the severity of the issue, corrective actions may include:

  1. Manuscript rejection
  2. Publication of corrections
  3. Retraction of published articles
  4. Notification to relevant authorities

These measures are taken to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record.

Publisher’s Ethical Role
