Ethical Guidelines

The International Bulletin of Linguistics and Literature (IBLL) upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical conduct in research and publication. Authors must ensure their submissions are original, free from plagiarism, and not under consideration by other publications. Proper acknowledgment of all sources and contributions is mandatory, including citations for referenced works and disclosure of any collaborative efforts. Research involving human subjects must comply with ethical standards, and authors are required to provide evidence of institutional ethical approval where applicable. Conflicts of interest, whether financial or personal, must be transparently disclosed. Reviewers and editors are expected to treat all submissions confidentially and evaluate them impartially, based solely on scholarly merit. The journal strictly prohibits practices such as data fabrication, falsification, or duplicate publication. In the event of ethical misconduct, IBLL reserves the right to take corrective actions, including retraction of published articles. Authors, reviewers, and editors are encouraged to adhere to the principles outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure the integrity and credibility of scholarly publishing.
