Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

Publishing articles in open access should be a valuable process for improving knowledge in the field. It is therefore imperative that the organisers and participants of the conference and the process of publishing articles conform to recognised best practises and guidelines and adhere to ethical standards.

In this context, it is imperative that all parties involved in the publication process of the Proceedings of the 18th Romanian Textiles and Leather Conference-CORTEP’2022 adhere to the established principles of ethical publishing, and this applies to authors as well as reviewers and the editorial board.

Therefore, the editorial team participates in the community of users of the Similarity Check service for comparison purposes to ensure that the published content is original and reliable.

If there is a clear suspicion of fraud, the manuscript is rejected. By fraud is meant that the peer reviewer or editorial board finds that parts or all of the text have already been published elsewhere, that there are cases of plagiarism, or that there is suspicion that the data has been falsified.

Please note that authors retain all copyright to their contributions and should ensure that all who have made a significant contribution are named as co-authors to share full responsibility for the content of the contribution.

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors are listed on the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and agree to its publication.

All persons who have made a significant contribution should be listed as co-authors. If other people have contributed to specific aspects of the content of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

The work of others must always be appreciated, so authors should cite publications that have supported the work being reported.

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial support or material conflicts of interest that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.
