Code of ethics

Authors should adhere to the rigorous standards of publishing ethics established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and enforced by The Romanian Journal of Society and Politics Editorial Board.

Plagiarism, including repeat publishing of the authors' own work without appropriate reference, and misuse of the work are all unethical.

Any occurrence of ethical misbehavior will be taken seriously by the Editorial Board and dealt with accordingly.

The Editorial Staff will ensure that authors are able to operate within safe and ethical boundaries in order to share their ideas for the benefit of the community.

Plagiarism, duplicates, data fabrication, and data duplication are all absolutely prohibited and if suspected, the item in issue will be withdrawn from the editorial process or website while it is being revised. The work of others must be properly referenced, according to our Submission Guidelines.

Plagiarism will be graded based on a variety of factors, including the volume of copied content, the originality of copied material, the position/context/type of information, and the referencing/attribution of the material.
