While publishing the manuscript following are the ethical policies to be implemented.

Authorship of the paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study.

Plagiarism Policy:

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of other’ that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

One of the main priorities for our research journal is publishing original, factual, and written work by the authors noted in the journals.Plagiarism in research is considered illegal and unethical and is a breach of academic ethics.We consider 85% or more originality for research submitted. Kindly check and then submit your copyright/declaration form, else the article will not be considered for publishing.

Plagiarism takes many forms, from ‘passing off’ another’s paper as the author’s own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. 

The following types of plagiarism are considered by JPRA:

• Full Plagiarism:Previously published content without any changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered as full plagiarism. It involves presenting exact text from a source as one’s own.
• Partial Plagiarism:If content is a mixture from multiple different sources, where the author has extensively rephrased text, then it is known as partial plagiarism.
• Self-Plagiarism:When an author reuses complete or portions of their per-published research, then it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self- plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.

To avoid plagiarism, authors confirm that:

1. I/We understand plagiarism is against the profession ethics;
2. No copyrighted materials have been used in the manuscript without permission;
3. The manuscript is free from plagiarism and has not been published previously;
4. I/We will take the full responsibility for the opinion expressed in the paper and for settling in all disputes arising from using any copyrighted materials in the manuscript without proper permission.

Policy and Action for Plagiarism

JPRA respects intellectual property and aims at protecting and promoting original work of its authors. Manuscripts containing plagiarized material are against the standards of quality, research and innovation. Hence, all authors submitting articles to JPRA are expected to abide ethical standards and abstain from plagiarism, in any form. In case, an author is found to be suspected of plagiarism in a submitted or published manuscript the JPRA editorial team shall take strict action against the concerned author.
   
Any other course of action, as recommended by the Committee or as deemed fit for the instant case or as decided by the Editorial Board, from time to time.
