COPE Guidelines

Publication ethics at JARH

The International "Journal of Academic Research for Humanities" (JARH) is committed to honest, fair and transparent publishing. This page summarises what the journal does. The full rules are in our Publication Ethics Policies.

  • Peer review. Every research article that passes an editor's desk check is reviewed double-blind by at least two independent experts. Decisions are made by the editors on academic merit only, independently of the publisher and of any fee. The APC is invoiced only after acceptance.
  • Ethics and transparency. Authors must declare ethics approval, informed consent, funding, conflicts of interest, data availability, AI use and author contributions in every new submission.
  • Misconduct. Concerns about plagiarism, data fabrication, duplicate publication, authorship or peer review manipulation are investigated step by step, and the authors are always given a chance to respond. Write to jarh.bwo@gmail.com (subject: "Research integrity concern").
  • Corrections and retractions. Published articles are not removed. Errors are fixed through linked correction notices; serious problems lead to an expression of concern or a retraction, and the article stays online clearly marked.
  • Complaints and appeals. Complaints and appeals are sent to jarh.bwo@gmail.com and handled by an editor who was not involved in the original decision.
