This Editorial Policy provides a framework for the responsibilities and decision-making processes of the Editor-in-Chief, Editors, Editorial Board members, reviewers and authors.

Editorial decisions should be based on the academic and scientific merits of a submission and should not be influenced by personal characteristics, institutional affiliation, nationality, gender, religion, political views or commercial interests.

The Editor-in-Chief has overall responsibility for maintaining the academic and editorial standards of the journal.

• Provides overall editorial leadership.
• Ensures consistency in editorial procedures.
• Appoints and coordinates editors and reviewers.
• Oversees the peer-review and publication process.
• Ensures that editorial decisions are academically justified.
• Addresses serious ethical or procedural concerns.

Editorial Board members support the journal by contributing subject expertise and helping maintain the quality of the scholarly review process.

• Evaluate manuscripts within their areas of expertise.
• Recommend suitable peer reviewers when required.
• Maintain confidentiality of submitted manuscripts.
• Identify potential conflicts of interest.
• Support ethical and responsible publication practices.

Submitted manuscripts undergo editorial screening before being considered for external peer review. Manuscripts may be evaluated for scope, originality, academic quality, formatting and ethical compliance.

Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive and evidence-based comments that help editors reach an informed decision.

Depending on the outcome of editorial assessment and peer review, a manuscript may receive one of the following decisions:

Editors, reviewers and authors should disclose relationships or circumstances that could reasonably be perceived as influencing the objectivity of the editorial or review process.

An editor or reviewer should not participate in the evaluation of a manuscript where a significant personal, professional, financial or academic conflict exists.

Manuscripts submitted to Advanced Scientific Research are treated as confidential documents during the editorial and peer-review process.

Editors and reviewers should not disclose manuscript information, use unpublished material for personal advantage or share submissions with unauthorized individuals.

Advanced Scientific Research expects authors to submit original scholarly work and to follow responsible research and publication practices.

• Plagiarism and inappropriate text reuse are not acceptable.
• Fabrication and falsification of research data are prohibited.
• Duplicate or redundant publication should be avoided.
• Authorship should accurately reflect scholarly contributions.
• Relevant ethical approvals should be disclosed where applicable.
• Corrections to the scholarly record should be addressed appropriately.

Potential ethical concerns may be investigated by the editorial team and, where appropriate, referred to relevant institutions or responsible authorities.

Submitted manuscripts may be checked for plagiarism, inappropriate text overlap and other forms of unoriginal content.

Where substantial inappropriate overlap or suspected plagiarism is identified, the manuscript may be rejected or further investigation may be initiated.

Authors remain responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity and ethical compliance of manuscripts submitted to Advanced Scientific Research.

Artificial intelligence tools may assist with tasks such as language improvement or formatting, but authors should review all generated material and remain accountable for the final manuscript.

AI tools should not be treated as authors or as substitutes for scholarly responsibility.

Authors who believe that an editorial decision was made as a result of a significant procedural error or misunderstanding may submit a reasoned appeal.

Appeals should clearly explain the basis for the request and provide relevant evidence. The editorial team will consider appeals in accordance with the journal's procedures.

Advanced Scientific Research aims to maintain an accurate and reliable scholarly record. When significant errors are identified after publication, the journal may issue an appropriate correction, clarification or retraction.

Editorial action will depend on the nature and seriousness of the issue and may involve consultation with authors, editors or relevant institutions.

Editorial decisions should be based on scholarly and ethical considerations rather than commercial, personal or external pressure.

Editors should protect the integrity of the editorial process and disclose relevant conflicts when they arise.

Advanced Scientific Research reserves the right to update this policy when necessary to improve editorial quality, research integrity and publication practices.
