The International Journal of Poverty and Sustainable Development (IJPSD) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against publication malpractice. Authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers are expected to adhere to ethical standards throughout the publication process.

Authors must ensure that their submitted manuscripts are original, have not been published previously, and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. All sources of data and information must be properly acknowledged. Any form of plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, or unethical research practices is unacceptable.

Editors are responsible for making publication decisions based on the scholarly merit of manuscripts, without discrimination regarding race, gender, religion, citizenship, or political beliefs. Editors must maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and avoid conflicts of interest.

Reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts objectively, provide constructive feedback, maintain confidentiality, and disclose any conflicts of interest that may influence their review.

The publisher supports editorial independence and is committed to preserving the integrity of the academic record. Any allegations of misconduct will be investigated thoroughly, and appropriate actions will be taken when necessary.

IJPSD follows internationally recognized ethical publishing principles and promotes integrity, transparency, and accountability in scholarly communication.
