The Sustainable Engineering Science and Research Journal is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific record, maintaining trust in the journal, professionalism of scientific authorship and ultimately the entire scientific endeavor. Expected ethical publishing practice includes the following obligations for authors who contribute to scientific record.

• Authors must not misrepresent research results.
• Results should be presented clearly, honestly and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation (including image manipulation). Authors should adhere to discipline-specific rules for acquiring, selecting and processing data. 
• No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the author’s own (“plagiarism”). Proper acknowledgments to other works must be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim), summarized and/or paraphrased), quotation marks (to indicate words taken from another source) are used for verbatim copying of material and permissions secured for material that is copyrighted. 
• Authors should be prepared to send relevant documentation or data in order to verify the validity of the results presented. This could be in the form of raw data, samples, records, etc. Sensitive information in the form of confidential or proprietary data is excluded.
• Authors should make sure they have permissions for the use of software, questionnaires/web surveys (paper, electronic or online) and scales in their studies as appropriate.
• The manuscript should not be submitted to more than one journal for simultaneous consideration. 
• Research articles must be original. None of the work should have been previously published in any peer-reviewed publication in any language (partially or in full), unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work. Any expansion on previous work must be transparently acknowledged. Text recycling (“self-plagiarism”) is not permitted. 
• Authors must respect the rights of third parties such as copyright and moral rights. 
• A single study should not be split up into several parts to increase the quantity of submissions and submitted to various journals or to one journal over time (i.e., “salami-slicing/publishing”). 
• Research that may be misapplied to pose a threat to public health or national security should be clearly identified in the manuscript (e.g., dual-use research). Examples include creation of harmful consequences of biological agents or toxins, disruption of immunity of vaccines, unusual hazards in the use of chemicals, weaponization of research/technology.
• Authors should avoid untrue statements about an entity (who can be an individual person or a company) or descriptions of their behavior or actions that could potentially be seen as personal attacks or allegations about that person.
• Authors are strongly advised to ensure the author group, the corresponding author and the order of authors are all correct at submission. Adding and/or deleting authors during the revision stages is generally, not permitted, but in some cases may be warranted. Reasons for changes in authorship must be explained in detail. Changes to authorship cannot be made after acceptance of a manuscript.
