Article Copyright aims to protect the specific way that an article has been written by describing the research process and the results. The IJSS is committed to its authors to protect, defend their work and their reputation and takes allegations of infringement, plagiarism, ethic disputes and fraud very seriously.
If an author discovers a possible case of plagiarism, fraud or infringement, such author is advised to immediately contact the editorial team of IJSS which will in turn liaise with our in-house legal department for appropriate action on the matter.
