Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement:

The Mili Publications is committed to maintain fair practice of publication. Our main aim is to provide original content and to spread them to readers across the globe. We always want to be neutral to cast, creed, gender, region and religion.

Advances and Applications in Mathematical Sciences is a peer-reviewed international journal which maintains highest level of ethical, publishing and academic standards. Articles published should be accurate, original, updated and trustworthy. All the parties involved in the act of publishing: the editor, the reviewer, the author, the publisher, and society (if any) should agree upon this declared publication ethics and publication malpractice statement of the Advances and Applications in Mathematical Sciences.

Editor’s responsibilities:

All manuscripts are subject to peer review and are expected to meet standards of academic excellence. If approved by the editor, submissions will be sent to peer- reviewers, whose identities will remain anonymous to the authors. Authors are able to mention excluded reviewers in their cover letters and although this information will be forwarded to the handling editor and this may not be honoured due to editorial requirements in peer review. In brief, the editor is responsible for everything published in the journal. In making these decisions, the editor may be guided by the policies of the journal’s editorial board and/or the policies of the publisher, as well as, by the legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers when making publication decisions. The editor should maintain the integrity of the academic record, precluding business needs from compromising intellectual and ethical standards, and always be willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when needed.

The editor will not disclose any information regarding the submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate. The editor should not have any conflict of interest with respect to the research, the authors and/or the research funders.

Authorship and Acknowledgements:

All authors listed in the manuscript must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research, approved its claims, and agreed to be an author. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution. Any change in authorship must be declared to the journal before publication and agreed to by all authors. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Authors obliged to participate in peer-review process.

Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be named in an Acknowledgement section. All co-authors must be clearly indicated at the time of manuscript submission. An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Parallel submission of the same manuscript to more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should also cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported study.

Any financial or other substantive conflict of interest must be declared that might be construed to influence the results or their interpretation in the manuscript. Any financial support for the project should be disclosed. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal’s editor or publisher. Errors by the authors may be corrected by a corrigendum and errors by the publisher by an erratum.

Reviewer’s responsibilities:

The report of reviewer helps the editor in making editorial decisions – accept, revise or reject the manuscript. The reviewer will not disclose any information regarding the submitted manuscript to anyone. The reviewer should not have any conflict of interest with respect to the research, the authors and/or the research funders. If a reviewer feels he/she is not qualified to review the work reported in the manuscript, he/she should immediately notify this to the editor. Reviewers should conduct review impartially. Personal criticism of the author(s) is unacceptable. Reviewers should express their views clearly with appropriate supporting arguments.

Reviewers should identify any relevant published work that has not been cited by the author(s). Reviewers should also call to the editor’s attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published data of which they have personal knowledge. The reviewer should not retain the copy of the manuscript or do not copy the document for own purpose.

Plagiarism

Authors may use the words, figures, or ideas of others with acknowledgement. All sources must be cited at the point they are used, and reuse of wording must be limited and be attributed or quoted in the text. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will be rejected and the authors may incur sanctions. Any published articles may need to be corrected or retracted.
