Plagiarism/ethics statement
The African Journal of Pig Farming, published by Elixir Publishers, maintains a strict anti-plagiarism policy to uphold the integrity of its publications. Plagiarism is defined as the intentional use of someone else's ideas or original material without proper acknowledgment. This includes copying even a single sentence from another manuscript or from one's own previously published work without appropriate citation.
Ethical Standards:
-
Originality: Authors are required to submit manuscripts that are their original work and not under consideration elsewhere. Simultaneous submission, where a manuscript is submitted to multiple journals simultaneously, is considered unethical.
-
Data Integrity: Authors must present accurate data and results, avoiding fabrication or falsification.
-
Conflicts of Interest: Authors should disclose any financial or personal conflicts that could influence their work.
By adhering to these ethical guidelines, the African Journal of Pig Farming ensures the credibility and reliability of the research it publishes.
