Publication Ethics

Maintaining academic integrity and ethical publishing standards is crucial for ensuring the credibility and reliability of research. Touristic Studies adheres to internationally recognized guidelines, particularly those established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). These standards apply to all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, reviewers, editors, and the publisher. Touristic Studies ensures fair and transparent research dissemination, prevents academic misconduct, and promotes responsible authorship and peer review. In the case of publication malpractice, including plagiarism, data falsification, or unethical authorship, Touristic Studies will take appropriate action, such as retraction or correction of the article. Violations of ethical standards may result in sanctions for those involved to protect the integrity of the scholarly community.
