Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Deixis: Journal Of Linguistics and Literature Review is a peer-reviewed journal that aims to be a leading platform and an authoritative source of information. It publishes original research papers on community services and development. The journal is issued every January, April, July, and October, and only publishes manuscripts that have not been published elsewhere or are not under consideration elsewhere.

The following statement outlines the ethical responsibilities of all parties involved in the publishing process: authors, editors, and reviewers.

1. Duties of Authors

1.1 Reporting Standards

Authors should present an accurate account of their original research and an objective discussion of its significance. Results must be reported honestly without fabrication, falsification, or inappropriate manipulation. Manuscripts should include sufficient detail and references to allow replication. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

1.2 Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure their work is entirely original. The manuscript should not be submitted to multiple publications simultaneously. All sources, including authors’ previous work, must be properly cited, and direct quotations must be enclosed in quotation marks.

1.3 Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publications

Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. Redundant or overlapping publications are unethical. When multiple papers arise from a single project, they must be clearly identified, and the primary publication should be referenced.

1.4 Acknowledgment of Sources

All data sources and influences must be appropriately acknowledged. Proper credit must always be given to others’ work.

1.5 Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should accurately reflect contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the research. Only those who made significant contributions should be listed as authors, while others should be acknowledged. All listed authors must approve the final version and agree to its submission.

1.6 AI-Assisted Writing Policy

Authors may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Generative AI (GenAI) tools only as supportive aids to improve language quality, grammar, structure, or translation — not for generating or altering core scientific content (data, results, analysis, or conclusions).

1.7 Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Authors must disclose any financial or personal conflicts of interest that could affect their results or interpretation. All sources of financial support must be identified.

1.8 Fundamental Errors in Published Works

If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy, they must promptly notify the editor and cooperate in retracting or correcting the paper.

1.9 Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects

Authors must clearly identify any use of hazardous materials, procedures, or human/animal subjects and provide appropriate ethical approvals.
