Responsibilities of the Journals

In order to ensure that there is no unwarranted access to all manuscripts that are submitted to the International Journal of Anatomy and Research (IJAR), we follow a strict embargo policy.  The press or public will not have access to the manuscripts until they are published. All possible measures will be taken to make sure that the reviewers honor their promise to confidentiality.

International Journal of Anatomy and Research (IJAR) will not take the responsibility for any breach of confidentiality either by the reviewer, editorial board member or the corresponding author towards the publishing of the manuscript until it gets published in our journal but necessary action will be initiated against that party.

If a manuscript is released for public access or to the press before its publication by a breach of confidentiality, the Journal may not publish even an accepted manuscript. But the manuscript can be presented in the conference or seminars but proper citation or reference should be cited to our journal. We support and encourage discussion of the particular manuscript among the scientists or researcher or news media until embargo period but care should be taken by the author not to reveal complete data or the complete manuscript or any other activity which hamper our journal citation of that manuscript or any purported reason of publishing in our journal. If the Journal chooses to make a press release or any other publicity, the information will be given to the authors concerned.  And the details regarding the authors will also be shared with the press personnel or publically displayed. If any litigation or unethical practice made by the author, International Journal of Anatomy and Research (IJAR) has the right to publish the unethical practice along with the details of the author etc.

Responsibilities of the authors

A similar guarantee of confidentiality is expected from the authors also. The author should not release a paper or any part of the paper or the key findings of the study to the press or for public access before publication and if so, they need to cite that the full paper is under the press of our journal. From the time of submission till the time of rejection/publication in case of acceptance, the author should avoid sharing the details of the manuscript to public or the press. But if in any case,  any information regarding the manuscript (research findings or the content of the manuscript in part or full) is shared by the author in the form of interview to press or any other form of oral or written communication (in website/forum/blog) it should be withheld from publication until the Press Embargo date.

If this rule is not adhered to then it will be treated as the violation of the Journal’s embargo policy.  These rules of this policy will be in vogue till the embargo is lifted and an “Early version View/forthcoming issue listing” is published.

The authors can discuss with their peers but should not do this to the extent that complete or part of the unpublished manuscript being published in the media or the public access before the date of full manuscript publishing by our journal. This embargo restriction will be lifted only after the publication of the manuscript in the International Journal of Anatomy and Research (IJAR) Journal and thereafter the author can post it anywhere but only after due citation requirements are fulfilled.

We shall not take any accountability for the contents of articles published in the journal and all such liability shall lie with the author/s.

The opinions expressed in the articles are exclusively of the author/s and International Journal of Anatomy and Research (IJAR) may not agree with such opinions in part or in full. All the articles submitted for publication in International Journal of Anatomy and Research (IJAR) are peer-reviewed for genuineness, moral issues, and effectiveness.

Online corrections

The version of an article which is published online is considered the final and complete version. Even though it is possible to correct this version, our policy (in common with other publishers) is not to do so, except in very limited circumstances (within 30 days of online publication. We are only able to correct typographical errors in the following: author names, affiliations, articles titles, and abstracts and keywords. In such cases, an erratum or corrigendum would be necessary as well (see below), so that there is a record to explain the difference between the online and print versions. We can publish a correction to your article if there is a serious error, for example with regard to scientific accuracy, or if your reputation or that of the journal would be affected. We do not publish corrections that do not affect the contribution in a material way or significantly impair the reader's understanding of the contribution (such as a spelling mistake or a grammatical error).

Send an email to editor_anatomy@ijmhr.org/editor_anatomy@ijmhr.org  if you need any changes to be affected.

Errata

An erratum will be used if an important error has been introduced during the production of the journal article (one that affects the publication record, the scientific integrity of the paper, the reputation of the authors or of the journal), including errors of omission such as failure to make factual proof corrections requested by authors within the deadline provided by the journal and within journal policy.

We do not publish errata for typing errors except where an apparently simple error is significant (for example, an incorrect unit). A significant error in a figure or table is corrected by the publication of a new corrected figure or table as an erratum. The figure or table is republished only if the editor considers it necessary.
