Publication Ethics

The International Synergy Symposium is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against any publication malpractices. All authors submitting their works to the symposium are expected to adhere to these ethical standards. To ensure the integrity of the academic content, the following ethical guidelines must be followed:

1. Authorship and Contributions

All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and must share collective responsibility and accountability for the results.
Contributions from individuals who do not qualify as authors should be acknowledged appropriately.

2. Originality and Plagiarism

All submissions must be entirely original, written by the authors, and must not have been copied or plagiarized in whole or in part from other works.
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the direction and course of their study or project.

3. Data Access and Retention

Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data if practicable.
In any event, authors should ensure accessibility of such data to other competent professionals for at least ten years after publication, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and legal rights concerning proprietary data do not preclude their release.

4. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

An author should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

5. Acknowledgment of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

6. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

7. Fundamental errors in published works

If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the symposium organizers or publisher and cooperate with them to either correct the paper in the form of an erratum or to retract the paper if it is critically flawed.

8. Reporting Standards

Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work.

By adhering to these ethical standards, the symposium ensures the production of high-quality scholarly research that contributes positively to the scientific community.
