Statement on Open Access

We consider quality the core of the work of the Arab Institute for Science and Research Publishing, and by working with integrity and transparency we seek to build ideal academic relationships with staff, authors, and peer reviewers alike, and thus the journal undertakes the following:

  1. No fees for submitting papers in the research submission system.
  2. never ask authors to pay an APC (article processing charge) for publication prior to acceptance.
  3. never publish works in exchange for gifts or money.
  4. never falsely claim to represent another person or entity.
  5. never use your data without consent.

 

Authorship

An author is considered anyone involved with initial research design, data collection and analysis, manuscript drafting, and final approval. However, the following do not necessarily qualify for authorship: providing funding or resources, mentorship, or contributing research but not helping with the publication itself.

The primary author assumes responsibility for the publication, making sure that the data are accurate, that all deserving authors have been credited, and that all authors have given their approval to the final draft; and handles responses to inquiries after the manuscript is published.

All persons who made substantial contributions to the work reported in the manuscript (such as technical help, writing and editing assistance, and general support) but who do not meet the criteria for authorship must not be listed as an author but should be acknowledged in the "Acknowledgements" section after their written permission to be named as been obtained.

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the author list and verify that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and agreed to its submission for publication.

Research submission system

 

Screening for Plagiarism

Manuscripts submitted to the Arab Institute for Science and Research Publishing will be screened for plagiarism using Turnitin. This journal will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism until the author addresses the plagiarised parts.


Data Sharing

Journal of International Students requests all authors to make available “all data underlying the findings described in their manuscripts.” Authors are encouraged to maintain the anonymity of the participants in both qualitative and quantitative data before sharing it with the editors or the public. The research method is at the core of the editor and peer evaluation of manuscripts. This journal adopts the data-sharing policy as recommended by the 2011 AERA Council and its Code of Ethics, which stated:

(a) Researchers share data and pertinent documentation as a regular practice. Researchers make their data available after completion of the project or its major publication for verification or other analyses by other researchers, except where proprietary agreements with employers, contractors, or clients preclude such accessibility or when it is impossible to share data in any useful form.

(b) In sharing data, researchers take appropriate steps to protect the confidentiality of the data and the identity of research participants. When appropriate future use necessitates access to identifiable data, researchers take steps to ensure that the data are accessible under appropriate restrictions where the confidentiality of research participants can be secured.

(c) Researchers anticipate data sharing as an integral part of a research plan whenever data sharing is feasible.


Publication

Arab Institute for Science and Research Publishing provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Published articles are listed in major databases (locally and internationally), internationally such as Google Scholar, EBSCO Information Services, and Crossref, and locally, such as Dar AlMandumah, Al Manhal, e-Marefa, and Shamaa.
