Ethical Guidelines

Authors Responsibilities

1.⁠ ⁠Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original and properly cite the work and/or words of others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. We mandate a plagiarism of <10% for the work submitted.

2.⁠ ⁠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.

3.⁠ ⁠Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

4.⁠ ⁠Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Authors should disclose 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.

5.⁠ ⁠Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data of their study for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data if practicable. They should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

6.⁠ ⁠Reporting Standards: Authors 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 paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work.

7.⁠ ⁠Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not generally 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.

Reviewers’ Responsibilities

1.⁠ ⁠Confidentiality: Reviewers must treat the manuscript received for review as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

2.⁠ ⁠Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation.

3.⁠ ⁠Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

4.⁠ ⁠Promptness: Any reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.

5.⁠ ⁠Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in a reviewer’s own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.

Editors’ Responsibilities

1.⁠ ⁠Publication Decisions:

The editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the conference proceedings should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions.

2.⁠ ⁠Fair Play: An editor should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

3.⁠ ⁠Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

4.⁠ ⁠Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor’s own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.

By adhering to these ethical guidelines, The National Conference on Trends and Insights in Educational Technology Post-NEP 2020, strives to ensure the integrity and quality of its conference proceedings, fostering a culture of trust, respect, and academic excellence.
