Publication Ethics

The Journal of Non-Communicable Diseases (JNCDs) upholds the highest standards of publication ethics to ensure the integrity, credibility, and quality of published research. Authors must submit original work, properly cite sources, and avoid plagiarism, data fabrication, or duplicate submissions. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and any conflicts of interest must be disclosed. Reviewers and editors are expected to provide unbiased evaluations while maintaining confidentiality. The journal follows ethical guidelines set by international bodies such as COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and takes misconduct seriously, with appropriate actions taken in cases of ethical violations, including retractions or corrections when necessary.
