    • Publishing Models

    Authors submitting primary research articles in the JournalsPub field have several options for publishing their research. These options include:

    Traditional Subscription-Based Publishing

    Traditional subscription-based publishing refers to the model where readers are required to pay a subscription fee to access the content of a journal or publication. This model has been the predominant method of publishing in the academic world for many decades.

    In the traditional subscription-based publishing model, publishers often have full control over the production, distribution, and marketing of the journal. They typically have editorial boards that oversee the peer-review process and ensure that the published content meets the standards of the field. The publisher also retains the copyright ownership of the published work.

    Open Access Publishing

    Open access publishing refers to a publishing model where research articles are made freely available to readers without paywalls or subscription fees. This allows anyone with an internet connection to access and read the research, regardless of their institutional affiliation or ability to pay.

    Open access publishing has become increasingly popular in recent years as a means of promoting knowledge sharing and accessibility to scientific research. It also aligns with the principles of open science, which emphasize transparency, collaboration, and the free flow of information.

    Hybrid publishing

    Hybrid publishing is a publishing model that combines traditional subscription-based publishing with open access publishing. This model allows authors to choose whether they want to make their articles freely available to readers by paying an article processing fee.

    In hybrid publishing, a journal still operates primarily on a subscription-based model, where readers must pay a fee to access the journal's content. However, authors can choose to make their article open access by paying an additional fee, which allows their article to be freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

    It is important for authors to take plagiarism seriously and to take steps to avoid it, such as properly citing sources and using plagiarism detection software.

    • Detection of plagiarism: Plagiarism can be detected using a variety of methods and tools, including:
    • Manual detection: Editors or reviewers can identify plagiarism by comparing the submitted manuscript to previously published works or by using their own knowledge of the field to spot similarities in language or content.
    • Plagiarism detection software: Many publishers and institutions use software programs that compare the submitted manuscript to a large database of published works and other sources to identify similarities and potential instances of plagiarism. Examples of such software include Quetext.
    • Peer review: The peer review process is designed to identify plagiarism and other ethical violations. Reviewers are expected to thoroughly evaluate the manuscript and identify any potential issues, including plagiarism.
    • Self-checking: Authors can use plagiarism detection software or online tools to check their own work before submitting it. Examples of such tools include Grammarly, Copyscape, and Quetext.
    • Only manuscripts with less than 10% plagiarised content will be accepted, as the following UGC Guideline.
    • Responsibilities of authors: Authors have several responsibilities when submitting a manuscript for publication, including:
    • Originality: Authors must ensure that their work is original and has not been published elsewhere or submitted to multiple publishers at the same time.
    • Proper citation: Authors must give credit to all sources of information used in their work, including previous publications and personal communications.
    • Accuracy: Authors must ensure that their work is accurate and based on reliable sources of information.

    • Plan ahead and manage time: Plagiarism can often result from a lack of time management or planning. By setting realistic deadlines and breaking down tasks, you can avoid the temptation to copy from other sources.
    • Use original research: Using original research and data can help ensure that your work is unique and not plagiarized. This can involve conducting your own experiments, surveys, or other forms of research.
    • Seek guidance and feedback: Seek guidance from instructors, supervisors, or colleagues to ensure that you are meeting ethical standards and properly citing sources. Feedback can also help identify areas where plagiarism may be present and how to prevent it in the future.

    Peer review overview

    Peer review is an essential process in scholarly publishing that ensures the quality, validity, and credibility of published research. The process of peer review involves evaluation of a submitted manuscript by experts in the same field to ensure that it meets the required standards of quality and rigor.

    The peer review process is initiated when an author submits their manuscript to a journal for publication. The manuscript is then evaluated by the editor of the journal to ensure that it meets the scope and focus of the journal. If the manuscript is deemed suitable for the journal, it is then sent out to at least two experts in the same field for peer review.

    The peer reviewers assess the manuscript for its scientific rigor, accuracy, novelty, and significance. They provide feedback to the editor on the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript, and make recommendations on whether the manuscript should be accepted, rejected, or revised.

They should also ensure that the paper accurately represents their work and that they have not engaged in any misconduct, such as plagiarism or data fabrication.
    • Plagiarism: Authors should ensure that they have properly cited all sources of information used in their research and writing. They should not engage in plagiarism, which includes copying or paraphrasing another author's work without proper attribution.
    • Data access and retention: Authors should ensure that they have retained all data and records related to their research and that they are willing to provide access to these materials upon request.
    • Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication: Authors should not submit the same research to multiple journals or publish redundant or concurrent publications. This can lead to self-plagiarism and is considered unethical.
    • Acknowledgement of sources: Authors should acknowledge all sources of funding, data, and other support that contributed to their research. They should also properly cite any previous work that has informed their research.
