Authors’ Ethical Responsibilities

Authors submitting to Confluence Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies are expected to uphold the highest ethical standards in research, writing, and publication.

1. Originality and Exclusive Submission

Authors must submit original, unpublished work that has not been previously published and is not under review elsewhere. Simultaneous submission to multiple journals is strictly prohibited.

2. Academic Rigor and Proper Attribution

Authors must ensure academic rigor by clearly presenting their research framework, analysis, arguments, and interpretations. The use of primary and secondary sources must be fully acknowledged, with proper citation to avoid plagiarism and misrepresentation.

3. Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including funding sources, institutional affiliations, or personal relationships that may influence the research. If the work is funded by an external body, this information must be explicitly stated at the time of submission.

4. Responsibility for Corrections

If an author identifies a substantial error in their published work, they must immediately inform the journal. The Editorial Board will assess the issue and, if necessary, publish a corrigendum or formal retraction to maintain the integrity of the academic record.

By adhering to these ethical responsibilities, both the Editorial Board and authors contribute to fostering a transparent, inclusive, and high-quality scholarly environment for the humanities and social sciences.
