Journal Policies

We consider quality the core of the work of The Ibn Sina Sirte Medical Journal. By working with integrity and transparency, we seek to build ideal academic relationships with authors and peer reviewers alike.

Journal Undertakings

The journal undertakes the following:

  • No fees for submitting papers in the research submission system.
  • Never ask authors to pay an APC for publication prior to acceptance.
  • Never publish works in exchange for gifts or money.
  • Never falsely claim to represent another person or entity.
  • Never use your data without consent.

Authorship

An author is anyone involved with initial research design, data collection and analysis, manuscript drafting, and final approval. The primary author assumes responsibility for the accuracy of data and approval of co-authors.

Note: Persons who made secondary contributions (technical help, editing) should not be listed as authors but acknowledged in the "Acknowledgements" section.

Screening for Plagiarism

Manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using Turnitin. Papers leading to plagiarism will be immediately rejected until addressed.

Data Sharing

The journal requests authors to make data underlying the findings available, protecting participant confidentiality. We adopt the data-sharing policy recommended by the AERA Council Code of Ethics.
