Plagiarism and Retraction Policy

    The Academic Journal of Administrative and Financial Sciences (AJAFS) is committed to ensuring integrity, adhering to research standards and ethics, and protecting intellectual property rights. This is achieved by initially examining all research submitted for publication using specialized programs to detect plagiarism, as well as conducting a preliminary review to assess the validity of the research for the arbitration process and the extent of its compliance with the controls. If any case of plagiarism or plagiarism is discovered in the research, the editorial board contacts the researcher to clarify the violation. If the editorial board is not convinced by the researcher’s justifications, the research is immediately rejected, the researcher’s name is added to the special list, and any future research submission is prohibited. However, if plagiarism is discovered after the research is published, the published research is withdrawn and republished on the journal’s website in the next issue, with a mark indicating “Retracted” and the researcher’s academic institution is notified, and his name is added to the special list. Any future publication requests are prohibited.
