Submission requirements, manuscript preparation, peer review, publication policy and accepted document types for IJRRSET.
The foundations of all international journals under Pranavam Publications are based on the originality and creativity that authors are required to maintain while preparing their papers.
Authors are invited to submit papers to IJRRSET through e-mail at jrrset@gmail.com. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication elsewhere while being evaluated by this journal.
Authors shall use the prescribed template while preparing their papers. Papers submitted without adhering to the IJRRSET template may be rejected.
Authors should normally keep the manuscript between 5 and 10 pages. IJRRSET may consider a shorter or longer manuscript when the content is of exceptional value.
Submitted research manuscripts are blind reviewed by professors and subject experts in the relevant fields. The decision of the reviewers is final.
On specific request, arrangements may be made to guide researchers in preparing manuscripts to acceptable standards and in selecting topics for Ph.D. work and periodic research progress.
IJRRSET seeks to select research papers through a rigorous, objective and fair peer-review process. Ethical conduct is expected from authors, reviewers and editors throughout submission, review and publication.
Research should be well justified, carefully planned and appropriately designed to address the research question. All authors are responsible for the quality, accuracy and ethics of the work.
Republication in another language or simultaneous publication for different audiences may be considered only when the original source is fully and prominently disclosed at the time of submission.
Peer review is fundamental to scientific publication. Reviewers should have relevant subject expertise and should provide objective, professional, honest, courteous, prompt and constructive assessments.
Submitted manuscripts are privileged communications. Reviewers must treat them as confidential and must not retain, copy or share them without the editor's explicit permission.
Editorial decisions should be precise and impartial. When a published paper is subsequently found to contain significant errors or flaws, the editor should take appropriate action to correct the publication record promptly.
Plagiarism is the use of another person's published or unpublished ideas, words or other intellectual property without appropriate attribution or permission, while presenting them as new or original. IJRRSET strongly discourages plagiarism.
Self-plagiarism refers to the reuse of substantial portions of an author's earlier writing on the same topic without appropriate citation or disclosure.
Upon receipt of an allegation of plagiarism, the Managing Director of Publications will inform the appropriate IJRRSET personnel and coordinate an investigation. Depending on the claim, the investigation may include:
After the investigation, the Pranavam Publications Board, based on the recommendation of the IJRRSET Director of Publications, may determine appropriate action according to the nature of the plagiarism. A paper may be removed when such action is recommended, and the person who raised the concern may be informed.
IJRRSET has a policy for handling concerns or allegations of misconduct involving authors, reviewers, editors and others. The publication itself does not have the authority or resources to conduct a formal judicial inquiry or issue a legal determination of misconduct. Such investigations ordinarily fall within the remit of the individual's employer, university, granting agency or regulatory body.
IJRRSET nevertheless has a responsibility to help protect the integrity of the scientific record by communicating reasonable concerns to authorities that are able to conduct an appropriate investigation.
