Publication Ethics
At Green Publication, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics to safeguard the integrity, quality, and credibility of our work. Authors must submit only original manuscripts, ensure accurate citations, and avoid plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, or duplicate submissions. All submissions undergo a rigorous peer review process, and any potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed by authors, reviewers, and editors. Research involving human participants or animals must include appropriate ethical approval and informed consent statements. Any unethical practices may result in article retraction, notification to relevant institutions, and/or bans on future submissions. We strictly follow the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines to ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical integrity in all aspects of publishing.
