Research Integrity

GJMMS expects honesty, transparency, responsible authorship, and respect for the intellectual work of others.

Ethical Responsibilities of Authors, Reviewers, and Editors

Authors must submit original work and must not misrepresent data, results, authorship, citations, or prior publication history. Plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated results, manipulated images, and undisclosed competing interests are inconsistent with the standards of GJMMS.

Reviewers should provide objective, timely, and confidential assessments. Editors should manage manuscripts fairly, avoid conflicts of interest, and make decisions based on scholarly merit, relevance, and ethical compliance.

• All listed authors should have made a meaningful scholarly contribution and approved the submission.
• Funding, institutional support, permissions, and conflicts of interest should be disclosed clearly.
• Concerns about misconduct may lead to correction, withdrawal, rejection, or retraction as appropriate.

The journal supports correction of the scholarly record when errors are identified. Authors and readers are encouraged to contact the editorial office with well-documented concerns.
