 Ethical Issue



Ethics in publishing: All manuscripts must be original. Authors cannot submit a paper for publication to the other journals if it is submitted to GeoAI Insights . Paragraphs or sentences from other resources should be reduced and cited properly. This also applies to earlier manuscripts by the same authors. Manuscripts with similarity indices above 15% (excluding author information and references) will likely be rejected without initial screening. Plagiarism from one source should be less than 1%. Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, is strictly prohibited. Please strictly avoid AI-generated text in papers.

The republication of similar research work (figures, texts, and tables) again is also unethical due to disturbance of copyrights. A duly signed author’s copyright transfer agreement will be taken from authors stating the originality of the research work after acceptance of manuscript. The author must transfer the copyright to the GeoAI Insights journal if article is accepted for publication. Therefore, the authors must submit unpublished, original, and new research work to the journal. The fraudulent and duplicate publication, plagiarism, copyright violation, conflict of interests, and authorships, are serious ethical issues. Hence, authors must follow the ethical integrity when submitting paper to the GeoAI Insights journal for publication. The authors are requested to adhere to the ethical guidelines before submitting the manuscript(s) to the GeoAI Insights . The following ethics must be followed by author(s):

  • The author(s) must appropriately cite all relevant publications. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, should not be used or reported in the author’s work unless fully cited, and with the permission of that third party.
  • The author(s) must make available all necessary formal and documented ethical approval from an appropriate research ethics committee, including evidence of anonymization and informed consent from the client(s) or patient(s) studied, if appropriate. The author(s) must avoid making defamatory statements in submitted articles which could be construed as impugning any person’s reputation.
  • The author(s) must declare any potential conflict of interest – be it professional or financial – which could be held to arise with respect to the article.
  • The author(s) must disclose all sources of funding for the research reported in the paper.
  • If asked to provide a list of suggested reviewers (total four, three must be from abroad), the corresponding author must provide the correct details for suitable reviewers with the appropriate experience to review, ensuring that the suggested reviewers do not have a conflict of interest.
