Publication Ethics

Tamiliyal follows the Core Practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and expects authors, reviewers and editors to do the same.

Authors

• Submit only original work that has not been published and is not under consideration elsewhere.
• Cite all sources. Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, is not accepted.
• List as authors everyone who contributed substantially to the work, and only them.
• Declare funding and any conflict of interest.
• Tell the editor at once about any error found in a published article.

Reviewers

• Keep manuscripts confidential and do not use their content.
• Review objectively and on time, and declare any conflict of interest.

Editors

• Judge manuscripts on their merit alone, without regard to the authors’ identity, institution or beliefs.
• Keep the review confidential and handle complaints, corrections and retractions promptly, following COPE’s guidance.
