Licensing Agreement
Unless otherwise stated, all articles and content published in IJEETE are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY). This license allows unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of the published material in any medium, for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, as long as the original authors and source are appropriately acknowledged.
Digital Preservation
Long-term accessibility of research is a key commitment of IJEETE. All published manuscripts are digitally archived and preserved to guarantee permanent online availability and secure access to scholarly work.
Publication Ethics
Manuscripts must be original and not under consideration by any other journal, in whole or in part.
The corresponding author must confirm that all listed authors have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript for submission.
Authorship Criteria
An author is someone who makes a significant academic contribution to the research — including conception, design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation — and participates in drafting, revising, or approving the final manuscript.
Corresponding Author
One author must be designated as the Corresponding Author, who will take overall responsibility for the manuscript, ensure communication with the editorial team, and confirm that all co-authors have approved the final version.
Co-Authors
All co-authors share equal responsibility for their contribution to the work. They must review and approve the manuscript, confirm the accuracy of their respective sections, and maintain research integrity. Acknowledgments should be used for individuals or groups who assisted but do not meet authorship criteria.
Guest authorship, gift authorship, and ghost authorship are strictly prohibited.
Conflict of Interest
Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest — financial, professional, or personal — that could influence or appear to influence the research or its interpretation.
Plagiarism Policy
IJEETE publishes only original and unpublished work. All submissions are screened using plagiarism detection tools (e.g., Turnitin).
Acceptable similarity index: below 15%.
Similarity from a single source must not exceed 5%.
Duplicate submission or prior publication is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate rejection or sanctions.
Citation Manipulation
Artificially inflating citations by excessive or irrelevant references is considered unethical. IJEETE discourages and strictly prohibits citation manipulation.
Redundant Publications
Submitting the same intellectual content to multiple journals, or re-publishing similar work with minor modifications, is considered redundant publication and will be addressed in line with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines.
