ETHICS POLICY FOR PUBLISHING

The ConScienS Research Center, established by the Research Association for Interdisciplinary Studies (RAIS), aims to base its publication on ethical grounds and will reject any form of plagiarism, preserve the confidentiality of submitted work, protect copyrights of published material and publish only original materials.

Authors Responsibilities

All authors must ensure that they have written entirely original work, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, they need to make sure that it is appropriately credited and referenced. Each person listed as an author should have contributed significantly to the research, and agree to be accountable for all aspects related to its accuracy or integrity. It is the responsibility of the first author to ensure the agreement of the other authors to be mentioned as co-authors of the article. As a publisher, RAIS cannot be held responsible for including authors without their authorization. The manuscripts submitted to the ConScienS Conferences should follow the submission guidelines of the conference. Plagiarism is considered unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. The author should notify the editor if a significant error in their publication is identified. Authors should fully disclose related financial interests and outside activities in publications, presentations at professional meetings, and applications for funding. The authors retain copyright and grant RAIS the right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.”

Editor Responsibilities

The editor must ensure that information or ideas regarding manuscripts submitted by the authors must be kept confidential and not used for any personal advantage. A submitted manuscript is a confidential material. The Editor must avoid making decisions on manuscripts for which they might have a conflict of interest, financial or otherwise.

Reviewers Responsibilities

The reviewers evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors. Reviewers have the right to identify relevant published work that has not been cited in the manuscript by authors.

Event Conduct

We do not tolerate harassment, discrimination, or bullying in any form at our events. All participants have the right to pursue shared interests without harassment or discrimination in an environment that supports diversity and inclusion. Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others.
