Publication Ethics

The International Journal for Research in Biology & Pharmacy (IJRBP) maintains ethical practices in scholarly publishing in line with generally accepted academic standards and the principles outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a double-blind review process and are considered solely on their academic merit, originality of work, and relevance to the journal’s field.

Concerns related to plagiarism, repeated submission, or improper handling of research data are reviewed when brought to the attention of the editorial office. Authors are notified of such concerns and are invited to provide an explanation. Where ethical issues are confirmed, appropriate editorial action may be taken, including rejection, amendment of the published record, or removal of the article. In unresolved situations, the matter may be communicated to the relevant academic institution.

Any request to modify authorship, whether before or after publication, must be accompanied by a clear justification and written consent from all contributors. If agreement among authors cannot be reached, editorial consideration of the manuscript or article will be suspended until the matter is resolved through formal channels.
