Authorship Standards and Author Responsibilities
https://publicationethics.org/files/International%20standards_authors_for%20website_11_Nov_2011.pdf
Authorship Standards
The definition of an author states that, in general, an author is someone who has made a significant executive and intellectual contribution to the conduct, design, analysis, and writing of the results of a published study. Each author whose name is registered in the article is required to have done one or more of the following:
Research design, data collection or analysis, and interpretation;
Writing the article or major and general revision;
Final approval for publication of the article.
Overall, have an acceptable contribution and participation in the design and writing of the article so that they can accept general responsibility for appropriate parts of the content.
Merely contributing to the funding of a research project, or collaborating in data collection, or providing technical and writing assistance and general supervision of the research team, does not place an individual within the definition of an author, and the names of individuals who do not meet these four criteria should be mentioned in the "Acknowledgements" section.
Authors’ Responsibilities and Obligations
Following the basic principles of writing and research is essential in article writing, and articles should be written and organized according to the journal format (Authors’ Guide)
Before submitting an article, all authors should read the Authors’ Guide and the Terms and Conditions for Submitting Articles in this Journal (Terms and Conditions)
The corresponding author must confirm and submit the consent and awareness of other authors of the article in this journal through the Authors’ Commitment Form (Forms)
All authors whose names are mentioned in the article and in the Commitment Form must have made an acceptable contribution to the writing and editing of the article.
The authors’ institutional affiliations and acknowledgements must be stated in the article, and any conflicts of interest between authors or organizations must be stated.
To sustain and develop the peer review process, qualified authors are invited to participate in the review process of other articles in this journal.
Authors must clearly report the research sponsor (if any).
Authors are required to notify the editor as soon as possible if they find any errors or inaccuracies in their published articles so that they can correct or cancel the article.
All authors should note that articles submitted to this journal are reviewed by the Samim Noor and Hamyab software to prevent scientific misconduct.
Authors must correctly and appropriately cite and cite all sources and references they have used directly and indirectly.
At the time of submission of the article, during the review and preparation process for publication, the author responsible for the article is responsible for communicating with the journal and those involved in the journal and is required to communicate with the journal's executive staff to ensure that all administrative requirements of the journal are met, such as complying with the terms and conditions of the article, performing the review required by the referees, clinical trial registration documents, and submitting necessary forms such as a commitment letter and conflict of interest; also, during the refereeing process, the relevant author must promptly respond to the questions of the editor and executive director and cooperate with the journal after publication, if necessary.
Changes in Authorship
After the article has been accepted and at the publication stage, adding a new author or changing the responsibility of the authors is not allowed. In addition, if an author wants to be removed from the list of authors, he must send a letter signed by the author and the other authors indicating their desire to be removed from the list of authors.
Any change in the order of authors requires a letter signed by all authors indicating their agreement.
Examples of Research Misconduct
All the cases presented in this section are considered examples of research misconduct and will be dealt with in the Journal of Studies in Applied Language (JSAL).
Data Falsification and Data Fabrication
Data fabrication means that the researcher conducted the experiment, but manipulated, changed, or omitted the data or the results and findings of the research.
Duplicate Publication
Duplicate publication occurs when two or more articles, without full cross-referencing, share essentially the same hypotheses, data, discussion points, and conclusions.
Citation Fraud
Excessive citations in a submitted manuscript that do not contribute to the scientific content of the article and are included solely to increase citations to an author's work or articles published in a particular journal are called citation fraud. This is a form of scientific misconduct because it misrepresents the importance of the work and the article in which it appears.
Simultaneous Submission
Simultaneous submission occurs when a manuscript (or significant portions of a manuscript) is submitted to a journal that is already under review by another journal.
Redundant Publication
Redundant publication involves the inappropriate division of study results into multiple articles, often as a result of a desire to complete a scholarly resume.
Inappropriate Author Contributions or Attribution
All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research contained in the manuscript and must have confirmed all of its claims. The role of all those who have made a significant scientific contribution to the preparation and writing of the article should be acknowledged, including students and laboratory technicians.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the intentional use of someone else’s ideas or other original material as if it were one’s own.
Copying even a single sentence from someone else’s manuscript, or even one of your own that has been previously published, without proper citation is considered plagiarism by this journal.
Plagiarism is a serious violation of publication ethics, and all articles under review or published are checked using the anti-plagiarism software SimulJoe.
Authors are expected to check their own articles for plagiarism before submission.
Detection of plagiarism by peer reviewers before electronic similarity checking (in the review stage) may result in rejection of the article.
If plagiarism is detected after publication, we (the journal) reserve the right to revise or retract the article, as appropriate.
We reserve the right to notify authors’ institutions of plagiarism discovered before or after publication.
Principles of Transparency
Proper Research Design
Good research should have a logical order and a proper research design and should comply with ethical research standards. Conducting research with lower standards may constitute research misconduct. Authors are responsible for the overall scientific content as well as the accuracy of bibliographic information.
Data Analysis
Data should be analyzed appropriately; inappropriate analysis does not necessarily constitute misconduct, but falsification and manipulation of data constitutes misconduct.
Access to Data
Data used to support study findings should be available upon request from the corresponding author.
Human and Animal Studies
All articles reporting the results of experimental research involving human subjects should include a statement confirming that informed consent was obtained from each subject or their guardian. All animal or human studies should be used after approval of the experimental protocol by the local ethics committee.
Conflicts of interest
Conflicts of interest may not be entirely obvious and may affect the judgment of the author, the reviewers, and the editors.
These are sometimes described as those that, when revealed later, would mislead or deceive a reasonable reader.
Examples of conflicts of interest may be personal, business, political, academic, or financial. “Financial” interests may include employment, research funding, ownership of stock or shares, payment for speaking or travel, consulting, and corporate sponsorship for staff.
This journal requires submission of a Conflict of Interest Form, and authors must disclose any conflicts of interest between authors or organizations on the Conflict of Interest Form.
Peer Review Process
This journal uses two-way anonymous peer review, meaning that both the identity of the reviewer is unknown to the author and the identity of the author is unknown to the reviewers.
To facilitate this, authors should ensure that their articles are prepared in a manner that does not reveal their identity.
Authors have the right to contact the editor if they do not want their article reviewed by a particular referee due to a potential conflict of interest.
Dealing with plagiarism
All articles submitted to this journal are reviewed by the similarity-finding software Samim Noor and Hamyab to ensure their authenticity, and then be peer-reviewed and evaluated.

Corrections or Retractions of Articles
In order to maintain the integrity of the scholarly and academic record, the journal may occasionally be required to issue corrections or retractions of articles published in the journal. According to the agreed norms of the academic community, this is usually done by publishing a "Correction" or "Retraction" without making any changes to the original article and only by publishing a new article that highlights the correction or retraction. The original article remains in the public domain and should usually be indexed in a subsequent Erratum or Retraction. In exceptional cases where the material in the article cannot be corrected, we may be forced to remove the material from our website and archive sites. It may be necessary for the original author(s) to make minor corrections to the published article by commenting on the published article. This will only be acceptable if the corrections do not affect the results or conclusions of the article.
Correction
Changes to published articles that affect the meaning or conclusion of the article, but do not invalidate the entire article, may be corrected, at the discretion of the editor(s), by publishing an indexed Erratum (Correction) linked to the original article. Changes in authorship of published articles are corrected via Erratum.
Retraction
If the scientific information in an article is significantly compromised in rare cases, it may be appropriate to retract the published article. In these cases, journal decisions should be in accordance with the COPE retraction guidelines. Retracted articles are indexed and referenced to the original article.
Author Complaints Process at the Journal of Studies in Applied Language (JSAL)
The owners of the Journal of Studies in Applied Language (JSAL) welcome reasonable and well-reasoned appeals against decisions of the Editor and Editorial Board, but it is important to note that these appeals must be supported by solid evidence and reasons. To appeal, authors must provide strong evidence or new data/information in response to the comments of the Editor and reviewers. The journal always strives to make all final decisions based on the careful opinions of the reviewers and editors of the journal, so the editors of the journal rarely change their original decisions. However, if you have a complaint about a final decision of the journal and think there is a case for appeal, you can follow the steps below:
You need to provide your reasonable, well-reasoned, and acceptable reasons to the journal office.
In your appeal, explain clearly why you disagree with the decision.
Provide the journal editors with any new information or data that you would like to consider in the review process.
If you believe that the reviewers made a mistake in evaluating your article, provide reasons and acceptable documentation.
If you believe that there was a conflict of interest in the review process, provide your evidence.
The process for identifying and addressing allegations of research misconduct in theJournal of Studies in Applied Language (JSAL), (see Examples of Research Misconduct)
In the Journal of Studies in Applied Language (JSAL), the editor takes steps to identify and prevent publication of articles in which research misconduct has occurred.
These steps include:
The journal editor’s first action is to notify the journal’s editorial office by providing copies of the relevant material and a draft letter to the corresponding author requesting a non-judgmental explanation.
If the author’s explanation is unacceptable and it appears that serious unethical behavior has occurred, the matter will be referred to the Publication Committee by the Editorial Board. After review, the Committee will decide whether the case is serious enough to warrant a ban on further submissions.
If the violation is of lesser severity, the Editor-in-Chief, on the recommendation of the Publication Committee, will send the author a letter of reprimand and remind the author of the journal’s publication policies. If the article has been published, the Editor-in-Chief may request that the author publish an apology in the journal to correct the record.
Notice will be sent to the author concerned, and any work by the author responsible for the violation or any work by such individuals under review by the journal will be immediately rejected.
Authors are prohibited from serving on the journal’s editorial board or as referees for the journal. The journal reserves the right to take further action.
In serious cases of fraud that result in a retraction, a retraction notice will be published in the journal and linked to in the online version. The online version will also be marked with the retraction date.
