Publication Ethics

Scopus Publication Support Center is committed to ethical academic and publication support. Our services are designed to help faculty members, researchers, research teams, PhD candidates, and graduate students improve their own academic work while respecting research integrity, authorship ethics, and publication standards.

This policy explains our ethical boundaries and our responsible approach to using artificial intelligence tools in academic support workflows.

1. Our Ethical Support Model

We provide academic support services that help clients improve the quality, clarity, structure, methodology, analysis, formatting, and publication readiness of their own work.

Our role is to support, review, edit, analyze, format, and guide. The client remains responsible for the originality, accuracy, data, authorship, ethical approval, institutional approval, and final approval of the work.

2. Services We Provide

Our ethical support services may include:

Scientific manuscript editing
Academic language editing
Statistical analysis
Qualitative analysis
Journal selection support
Reviewer response preparation
Manuscript revision support
Research-to-publication support
Thesis-to-article and dissertation-to-publication support
Formatting according to journal or university guidelines
Methodology and research structure review

3. Services We Do Not Provide

We do not provide services that violate academic integrity or publication ethics. We do not:

Sell ready-made research papers
Write theses or dissertations for submission as the student’s independent work
Fabricate data
Invent results
Create fake references
Manipulate citations
Sell authorship
Add authors without real contribution
Guarantee journal acceptance or indexing
Submit false information to journals or universities
Prepare work intended for fraudulent academic use

4. No Fabricated Data or Results

We analyze and present data provided by the client. We do not fabricate data, invent results, alter findings to match desired conclusions, or manipulate statistical outputs.

If data quality is weak, incomplete, inconsistent, or unsuitable for a requested analysis, we will inform the client and recommend appropriate corrective steps where possible.

5. No Paid Authorship

Authorship must reflect real intellectual and scholarly contribution. We do not sell author positions or add names to manuscripts without genuine contribution.

Clients are responsible for ensuring that all listed authors meet the authorship standards required by their institution, journal, publisher, or field.

6. No Fake References or Citation Manipulation

We do not create fake references, cite sources that do not exist, or intentionally manipulate citations. We do not add irrelevant citations merely to increase citation counts or satisfy unethical requests.

References should support the claims made in the manuscript and should be accurate, relevant, and verifiable.

7. No Guaranteed Journal Acceptance

We do not guarantee acceptance in Scopus-indexed journals, Web of Science journals, PubMed-indexed journals, or any other academic journal.

Journal acceptance depends on editorial screening, peer review, originality, methodology, contribution, journal fit, reviewer judgment, and editorial priorities.

8. Scopus and Indexing Disclaimer

Scopus Publication Support Center is independent and does not represent Scopus, Elsevier, or any indexing database.

Scopus-targeted support means that we help improve manuscript readiness, journal fit, formatting, clarity, and submission quality for journals that may be indexed in Scopus. It does not mean guaranteed publication, acceptance, indexing, or official affiliation with Scopus or Elsevier.

9. Client Responsibility

Clients are responsible for:

Providing accurate information
Ensuring that submitted data and materials are real and authorized for use
Obtaining required ethical approval or institutional approval
Reviewing and approving final deliverables
Ensuring correct authorship and contribution statements
Complying with journal, university, and publisher policies
Disclosing support or AI use when required by a journal or institution

10. Responsible Use of AI Tools

AI tools may be used responsibly as part of our workflow to support efficiency, screening, organization, and quality control. Possible uses may include:

Initial file screening
Language suggestions
Consistency checks
Formatting checks
Literature organization support
Summarizing reviewer comments
Drafting internal checklists
Improving workflow efficiency

AI tools are not used as a substitute for human academic judgment, scientific review, statistical interpretation, authorship responsibility, or ethical decision-making.

11. Human Expert Review

All academic, scientific, methodological, statistical, and publication recommendations should be reviewed by qualified human experts. AI-generated suggestions, where used, must be checked and validated before they are relied upon.

We do not use AI tools to fabricate content, create false data, invent references, generate unsupported results, or produce deceptive academic work.

12. AI Use Disclosure

Some journals, publishers, universities, or institutions may require authors to disclose the use of AI tools in manuscript preparation. Clients are responsible for reviewing the relevant policy of the target journal, publisher, or university and making any required disclosure.

When requested, we can help clients prepare an appropriate AI-use disclosure statement based on the actual support provided.

13. Research Data and Ethical Approval

Clients are responsible for obtaining required ethical approval, institutional approval, participant consent, data-use permission, or other approvals required for their research.

We do not provide or fabricate ethical approvals, participant consent documents, institutional permissions, or data collection evidence.

14. Reviewer Response Ethics

When helping with reviewer responses, we aim to support accurate, respectful, and transparent communication with editors and reviewers.

We do not prepare misleading responses, invent changes that were not made, fabricate additional analysis, or conceal limitations that should be disclosed.

15. Refusal of Unethical Requests

We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue any request that appears to violate academic integrity, publication ethics, institutional rules, or legal requirements.
