Publication Ethics & Misconduct

Green Construction Journal is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and follows the principles and best practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Ethical conduct is expected from all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers.

Authors are required to submit original work and ensure that all sources are appropriately cited. Any form of plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, duplicate submission, or unethical research practice is strictly prohibited. Authors must also disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the interpretation of their research.

In cases of suspected ethical misconduct, the editorial board will conduct a thorough investigation following COPE guidelines. Appropriate actions may include manuscript rejection, publication correction, retraction, or notification to relevant institutions when necessary.
