Act with Integrity Policy

At Innovations in Plant and Environmental Sciences Research (IPESR), all members of the research and publishing community—authors, reviewers, editors, and staff—are expected to act with honesty, fairness, and responsibility. Integrity is the foundation of credible scientific communication, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards throughout the publication process. Authors must ensure that their work is original, accurate, and presented honestly, without falsification, fabrication, plagiarism, or manipulation of data. Reviewers are expected to provide unbiased, confidential, and constructive evaluations based solely on scientific merit, while editors must make decisions transparently and free from conflicts of interest. All participants must disclose any relationships or interests that might influence their contribution. Any form of unethical behavior, including data manipulation, duplicate submission, undisclosed conflicts of interest, inappropriate authorship practices, or misuse of confidential information, is strictly prohibited. IPESR encourages all contributors to uphold ethical research practices, respect intellectual property, acknowledge contributions accurately, and follow responsible conduct at every stage of the publication process.
