Complaint Policy

Identification and Prevention of Research Misconduct
To identify and prevent the publication of research involving misconduct, such as plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification/fabrication, Acquire Publications implement necessary measures.

The Crossref Similarity Check Service is employed to ensure the originality of papers submitted to the journal.

Both peer reviewers and the editing team are diligent in ensuring that manuscripts are free from research misconduct.

We strictly adhere to the rules outlined by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) when addressing claims of research misconduct related to an article published in our journal.

Editors-in-Chief follow the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics when exchanging information about potential misconduct. Collaboration between institutions and journals is essential for upholding research and publication integrity. Our journal, in such cases, collaborates with institutions following COPE guidance on "Cooperation between Research Institutions and Journals on Research Integrity Cases."

For any complaints regarding editorial content concerning the identification and prevention of research misconduct, it is encouraged to submit them as soon as possible after publication. Preferably, complaints should be made in writing via email to info@acquirepublications.org.
