As a peer-reviewed journal, one of our priorities is to ensure high standards of publishing. Publication ethics is an important concern and editors, peer-reviewers and authors should pay great attention to meeting ethical standards.</p> <p><strong>Open Access Policy</strong></p> <p>IJTE aims to increase visibility and make easier use of open access scientific papers. Readers and their institutions are supported for online access without asking for any royalty, personal information, or log-in details. According to the open-access policy of our journal, all readers are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, link and search our articles with no charge.</p> <p><strong>For Editors of IJTE<br /></strong></p> <p>To ensure editorial ethics, editors are careful not to discriminate against authors with respect to gender, religious or political beliefs, ethnic or geographical origin and handle all articles/submissions, in the same way, so as to assess academic merit only. Every submission to the IJTE will be evaluated in the same way and ethical complaints will be subject to reasonable procedures as follows;</p> <p>Any unethical behavior or misconduct reported to or noticed by editors will be thoroughly investigated. Identification of the violation will entail further procedures. Any suspicious case will be taken seriously and the editors should make an initial decision.</p> <p>If the initial decision of the editor approves unethical behavior or misconduct, all the evidence will be collected and further negotiated with a group of editorial board members formed to deal with the case. In case of minor misconduct, the editor will keep the group small and the editor will give the author the chance to respond. If there is serious misconduct, then the employers of the accused may needed to be notified of the case. The involvement of the employer should be decided as a result of an investigation and consultation with editorial board members and experts.</p> <p>Consequences of ethical violation or misconduct may include informing or educating the author or reviewer where there appears to be a misunderstanding or misapplication of acceptable standards. Further, a strongly worded letter may e issued to the author or reviewer covering the misconduct and as a warning to future behavior. If the case is very serious and the editorial board members decide to do so, formal notice or even an editorial detailing the misconduct may be published. If the case requires, a formal letter may be sent to the head of the author’s or reviewer’s department or funding agency. And in case the violation or misconduct is out of reach of editorial board members and requires further investigation, then the case and outcome may be reported to a professional organization or higher authority for further investigation and action.</p> <p><strong>For Reviewers of IJTE</strong></p> <p>Reviewers should review the manuscripts in an objective way and in a timely manner so that they can contribute to the decision-making process, and assist in improving the quality of the published paper. They should maintain the confidentiality of any information supplied by the editor or the author and not retain or copy the manuscript.

They should be aware of any potential conflicts of interest (financial, institutional, collaborative, or other relationships between the reviewer and author) and alert the editor to these if necessary withdrawing their services for that manuscript.</p> <p><strong>For Authors of IJTE</strong></p> <p>Authors should maintain accurate records of data associated with their submitted manuscript and provide access to these data on reasonable request. They should keep the data associated with their manuscript in a suitable repository for sharing and further use by others where appropriate and where allowed by employers, funding bodies, and others interested in the data.

<p><strong>AI and AI-assisted Tools</strong></p> <p>Authorship implies human-only responsibilities and duties. Each author is responsible for ensuring that any questions regarding the accuracy or integrity of any portion of the work are adequately investigated and resolved, and authorship requires the ability to endorse the final version of the work and consent to its submission. The authors are also responsible for ensuring that the work is original, that the indicated authors qualify for authorship, and that the work does not violate the rights of third parties.</p> <p>Papers generated by AI or AI-assisted Tools are not accepted for publication in this Journal. This policy pertains only to the writing process and not to the use of AI tools to analyze data and gain insights for the research procedure. This policy does not prohibit the use of artificial intelligence and AI-assisted instruments in formal research design or research methods. When AI or AI-assisted tools are used in this context, they should be described in the Methods section as part of the work's methodology.</p> <p>The authors are responsible and answerable for the content of their work. The authors should indicate in their manuscript if they utilized AI and AI-assisted technologies, and a corresponding statement will appear in the final product. Disclosure of the use of these technologies promotes honesty and trust among authors, readers, reviewers, editors, and contributors and facilitates adherence to the tool's or technology's terms of service.</p> <p><strong>Originality and </strong><strong>Plagiarism</strong></p> <p>Authors can guarantee that their writings are entirely unique and that any writing or words credited to another are properly referenced. Additionally, publications that had an impact on the nature of the findings reported in the manuscript should be acknowledged. The writers must certify that the manuscript has never been written before.</p> <p>It is not permitted to copy text from other publications without correctly attributing the source (plagiarism) or to publish several papers with nearly identical material by the same writers (self-plagiarism). It is against the law to concurrently apply the same results to more than one journal. It is prohibited for authors to present results collected from others as their own. Authors should consider the work of those who shaped the direction and course of their research.</p> <p><strong>Check plagiarism</strong></p> <p>The ijte will conduct a plagiarism check on all submitted papers using <strong>Turnitin</strong>'s program. The ijte only considers papers with less than <strong>20% similarity index</strong> for publication.
