Ethical Considerations
The Journal of Islamic and Iranian Traditional Medicine employs the COPE flowcharts and guidelines to address any instances of ethical misconduct. Additionally, the journal adheres to the guidelines set forth in the for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scientific Work in Medical Journals, issued by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
Human and Animal Rights Statement
Research involving human subjects, human materials, or human data must be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by an independent local, regional, or national review body (e.g., ethics committee or institutional review board). Documentation of this approval should be provided upon request by the journal. Manuscripts detailing any experimental research involving animals must include a statement of approval from the ethics committee of the institution where the research was conducted, confirming that the study adhered to the legal requirements of the relevant local or national authority. The care and use of experimental animals should comply with internationally accepted animal welfare guidelines and policies. Further guidance on the ethics of animal research can be found in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals in Iran. Authors reporting such studies should refer to the ARRIVE Guidelines Checklist.
Informed Consent
All patients and participants in a research project must be fully informed about the study's objectives and any potential side effects of the drugs and interventions involved. Obtaining written informed consent from participants or their legal guardians is essential for conducting such studies. The journal reserves the right to request pertinent documentation. Articles that require informed consent should include an appropriate statement in the section.
Conflicts of Interest
All authors and reviewers must disclose any of interest financial, personal, political, or academic) that could potentially influence their judgment. Support from an institution for the author's time spent conducting research should be clearly distinguished from the direct funding of the study.
Plagiarism
Authors are prohibited from using verbatim text from previously published articles or manuscripts submitted elsewhere. All submitted articles undergo screening for potential similarities in any part of the work using the iThenticate plagiarism checker. Depending on the extent of plagiarism detected in an article, authors may be required to rephrase the copied passages or include them as direct quotes with appropriate references. Additionally, COPE flowcharts and guidelines are reviewed in cases where plagiarism is identified.
Data Falsification and Fabrication
Falsification refers to the omission or alteration of research materials, data, or processes, resulting in research outcomes that do not accurately reflect the original findings. It also encompasses the generation of false data or results and their subsequent reporting in research. Both of these forms of misconduct are fraudulent and significantly undermine the integrity of the research. Consequently, articles must be based on original data, and the use of fabricated or falsified data is strictly prohibited. The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) flowcharts and guidelines are adhered to when addressing cases involving fabricated data. Researchers conducting clinical trials or randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are strongly encouraged to retain their original data. The journal reserves the right to request raw data even after publication.
Copyright
If the article includes any previously published images or text, the author is responsible for obtaining permission from the copyright holders of that material. The author must secure and submit original written permissions for all copyrighted content used in the article. Furthermore, the author(s) bear full responsibility for each published article, including the accuracy and validity of its content, as well as adherence to research ethics.
Retraction Policy
The Journal of Islamic and Iranian Traditional Medicine follows the COPE flowchart for retracting published articles to assess whether a published article should be retracted.
Correction of Errata
The journal issues a correction when a factual error is identified in a published article.
Complaints and Appeals
The Journal of Islamic and Iranian Traditional Medicine promptly addresses complaints and provides a clear method for submitting criticisms and concerns via email to the journal editor. We adhere to the guidelines and flowcharts established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) for managing complaints related to the journal, its staff, the editorial board, or the publisher.
