Terms of Submission
Ethical commitments and publishing agreements for contributing authors
1. Originality and Exclusivity
By submitting a manuscript to SRIJAN, authors explicitly warrant that the work is entirely original, has not been previously published in any language or format, and is not currently under consideration by any other journal or academic publishing house.
2. Open Access and Licensing
All articles accepted for publication in SRIJAN: Global Review of Arts, Science & Humanities are distributed as 100% Diamond Open Access under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) License. Authors retain copyright of their published work without restrictions while granting the journal right of first publication.
3. Zero Submission and Processing Charges
SRIJAN operates under a strict Diamond Open Access model. We do not charge authors any Article Processing Charges (APCs), submission fees, page charges, or publication dues. The journal is fully supported by institutional sponsorship from SRIJANTIRTHA Publisher.
4. Double-Blind Peer Review Compliance
Authors agree to participate fully in our rigorous double-blind peer-review workflow. Submissions must be properly anonymized, with all identifying author metadata removed from the primary manuscript document. Revisions requested by peer reviewers or the editorial board must be completed within the designated timeframe.
5. Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
SRIJAN maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, and academic fraud. All manuscripts undergo automated similarity verification before entering the peer-review pipeline. Detection of academic misconduct will lead to immediate desk rejection and potential notification of the author's affiliated institution.
6. Post-Publication Corrections
In accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines, any substantive post-publication errors identified in published manuscripts will be addressed via formal errata or corrigenda notices. In extreme cases of verified academic misconduct, formal retraction procedures will be initiated.
