Ethical Publication Practices and Misconduct Reporting
The Algerian MPR journal adheres to the ethical standards outlined by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors).
For Authors: Authors are required to submit their manuscripts in alignment with the provided author guidelines. All presented results and data must be accurate and original. Fabricated data, plagiarism, duplicate submissions, and redundant publications are strictly prohibited. Authors are responsible for maintaining the original data and must provide this data to the editor upon request. Authorship should follow ICMJE guidelines, with the corresponding author accountable for the manuscript's accuracy and relevance, and each co-author responsible for the accuracy of the data they contributed to. Any conflicts of interest or financial support must be disclosed. Should authors discover errors in their published work, they are obligated to notify the editor promptly for correction.
For the Editor: The editor ensures that peer review is conducted impartially, with decisions grounded in the peer review outcomes. The editor must ensure that the peer review process is free from any undisclosed conflicts of interest and uphold the privacy of both reviewers and authors.
For Reviewers: Reviewers are expected to treat submitted manuscripts as confidential documents, not to be disclosed to any third parties without the editor's consent. Reviewers must not utilize unpublished data for their own research or reports. Feedback should be objective, free from disparaging remarks, and reviewers must disclose any potential conflicts of interest related to the manuscript under review.
