Publication Ethics and Policies
KSD Journal of Mathematics is committed to responsible scholarly publishing, academic integrity, transparent editorial handling, and the fair treatment of authors.
Originality and research integrity
Submissions must report original work, acknowledge all sources, and obtain permission for material reproduced from other sources. Plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabrication, falsification, and other forms of research misconduct are unacceptable.
Authorship and acknowledgements
All listed authors should have made a meaningful scholarly contribution, approved the submitted manuscript, and agreed to its submission. Contributions from individuals who do not meet authorship criteria should be acknowledged appropriately.
Editorial assessment and peer review
Manuscripts are subject to editorial assessment for relevance, originality, quality, and compliance with the journal’s requirements. Any external review and the basis for editorial decisions will be communicated to authors through the journal’s submission and editorial procedures.
Conflicts of interest and funding
Authors should disclose relevant financial or non-financial competing interests and identify sources of funding. Editors and reviewers should declare conflicts that could affect their impartiality and should not participate where a conflict exists.
Research ethics and permissions
Research involving human participants, animals, confidential information, or restricted materials must comply with applicable ethical requirements. Authors are responsible for securing required approvals, consent, and permissions and for reporting them in the manuscript.
Corrections and retractions
Where a published article is found to contain a significant error or evidence of misconduct, the journal will consider an appropriate correction, expression of concern, or retraction to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record.
Copyright, access, and publication charges
Copyright and publication-licence terms will be stated in the journal’s author documents. Any applicable publication charges, payment conditions, and waiver arrangements will be disclosed on the journal’s APC information page before authors are asked to pay.
Complaints and appeals
Authors may raise concerns about editorial handling or publication decisions by contacting the publisher at ksd10jan@gmail.com. Complaints will be considered fairly and confidentially, with due regard to the information provided by the parties concerned.
