Journal of Geo-information Science has joined
Academic Misconduct Literature Check System (AMLC) from China National
Knowledge Infrastructure to fight against plagiarism and to ensure high ethical
standards for all of the submitted papers. The AMLC is an effective tool for
detecting unoriginal content, enabling our editors to preserve the journal's
integrity and the authors' copyright.
The authors should ensure that they have written
entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of
others, this must been appropriately cited or quoted. Data, text, figures or
ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged.
Plagiarism in any forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is
unacceptable.
The authors
must guarantee:
1. The article has not been published
elsewhere;
2. The article is not being considered for
publication elsewhere;
3. The article has been submitted with the full
knowledge and approval of the institution or organization given as the
affiliation of the authors;
4. Submission of multi-authored manuscripts
implies the consent of each of the authors;
5. If data from the article is used, partially
or entirely, in other research articles, or the data and results represent only
part of a bigger research project described in multiple publications, these
must be clearly presented to the editor;
6. All authors should disclose in their
manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might
be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.
Examples of potential conflicts of interest which should be disclosed include
employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony,
patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential
conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest stage possible.
