Serious violations (such as data distortion, falsification or plagiarism) are taken into account and investigated further. When the evidence of misconduct is confirmed, available sanctions are applied.

Before publication, articles from each issue of the journal will be randomly reviewed using a powerful text matching tool: iThenticate . This procedure aims to remediate scientific and professional plagiarism.

Corrections to articles after publication

Once published, you cannot edit the PDF file or add corrections directly to the published PDF file. Any corrections require the publication of a "Publisher's Notes" or " Commissioning ". If you would like to report a correction, please complete and send correction form (. docx ) at info@isg-journal.com
