Publication Ethics Statement

Acta Scientia Plantarum (ASP) under Inspire Science and Tech Publisher is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) responsible for enforcing strict ethical policies and standards as recommended for rigorous peer review ensuring a high-quality scholarly publication. Unfortunately, data falsification, dual submissions, financial support disclosure, plagiarism, conflict of interest, and inappropriate authorship credit, do arise. ASP takes issues relating to such publication ethics very seriously. Our editors and reviewers adhere to abide by ethical standards and are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero-tolerance policy. ASP strives for transparency regarding the confidentiality of reviewers and reviewed articles, reviewers' anonymity, and refraining from coercive citations. To verify the originality of content submitted to our journals, we use iThenticate to check submissions against previous publications.
