Peer Review Policy

All manuscripts submitted to the International Journal of Sustainability and Advanced Integrated Research undergo a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout. This approach eliminates potential bias related to an author’s institution, country, or reputation, allowing manuscripts to be judged solely on the quality and originality of their content.

Plagiarism and Originality Check

All submissions are screened for plagiarism, duplication, and prior publication using standard similarity detection tools. We utilize CrossRef’s Similarity Check, powered by iThenticate, to ensure that all content is original and meets ethical publication standards.

Any detected case of suspected plagiarism or unethical publication practice is investigated following the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. Sanctions may apply depending on the severity of the breach.
