Falcons Journal of Advanced Research (FJAR) is strictly committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and research integrity. Our policies are rooted in the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Core Practices. We expect all stakeholders—authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher—to adhere to these ethical principles to safeguard the quality of the scholarly record.
Authorship must be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. FJAR utilizes the CRediT taxonomy for contributor roles. "Ghost," "Guest," or "Gift" authorship is strictly prohibited.
FJAR takes all allegations of misconduct seriously. Every submission is screened via Turnitin/iThenticate. In cases of suspected plagiarism, data fabrication, or citation manipulation, we follow COPE flowcharts to investigate and may contact the author's institution.
All participants must disclose any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could be perceived as influencing their work. All articles must include a formal Conflict of Interest Statement prior to the references section.
Research involving humans or animals must have prior approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee. Statements regarding informed consent and ethical approval must be explicitly stated in the manuscript.
FJAR encourages Open Science. Authors are requested to provide a Data Availability Statement. Raw data should be retained for at least 5 years and made available to the editors upon request for verification purposes.
Authors have a right to appeal editorial decisions or complain about reviewer bias. Such cases are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief or an independent ombudsman from the board who was not involved in the initial decision.
FJAR maintains the integrity of the academic record. We facilitate post-publication debate through letters to the editor. If a significant error is discovered, the following actions will be taken in accordance with COPE guidelines:
Falcons EdTech ensures the permanent availability and preservation of all FJAR content. Every published article is systematically archived in the Internet Archive (Archive.org) to safeguard the scholarly record against any technical or organizational changes.
FJAR does not tolerate plagiarism, data fabrication, or redundant publication. For more details on technical screening, view our Plagiarism Policy.
