Publication Ethics and Malpractice

The International Journal of Educational Leadership and Management (IJELM) is fully committed to meeting high standards of ethical conduct at all stages of the publication process. In our ethical standards and procedures, we set out general expectations for authors, editors, reviewers, publishers and society partners.

IJELM guarantees at all times the confidentiality of the evaluation process: the anonymity of the reviewers and the authors, the content evaluated, the report issued by the reviewers and any other communication issued by the editorial and advisory boards. According to this, the confidentiality will be maintained before any clarifications or complaints that an author wishes to send to the committees of the journal or to the reviewers of the article or book review.

IJELM declares its commitment for the respect and integrity of the works already published. For this reason, plagiarism is strictly prohibited in IJELM and texts that are identified as plagiarism or have fraudulent content will be removed from the journal if they have already been published. If they are at the review process stage, they will not be published. Hipatia Press and IJELM editors will act, in these cases, as quickly as possible. By accepting the terms and agreements expressed by IJELM, authors must ensure that the article or book review and the materials associated with them are original or do not infringe copyright. The authors also have to justify that, in case of a shared authorship, there was a full consensus of all the authors affected and that the article or book review has not been previously presented or published in other journals.

IJELM editors will publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when needed.
