Allegations of Research Misconduct

The editorial team of Mariobre is committed to maintaining the highest standards of research integrity and publication ethics. Allegations of research misconduct, including data fabrication, data falsification, plagiarism, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, and other violations of ethical research and publication practices, will be handled seriously, fairly, and confidentially.

When an allegation is received, the editorial team will conduct a preliminary assessment to determine whether the concern warrants further investigation. Relevant evidence may be requested from the authors or other parties involved. Where necessary, the journal may contact the authors' affiliated institutions, research ethics committees, or other appropriate authorities for further investigation.

If research misconduct is confirmed, the journal may take appropriate corrective action in accordance with the seriousness of the violation. Such actions may include rejection of a submitted manuscript, correction or retraction of a published article, notification of the authors' institutions, and other measures consistent with established publication ethics standards.
