All authors of the Islamic Art Studies journal are required to adhere to the COPE Code of Publication Ethics. Authors must have made a significant contribution to the design, execution, or analysis of the research. All authors are required to approve the final version of the manuscript. Non-scientific contributions (such as providing images or archival materials) must be acknowledged in the Acknowledgments section.
Originality
Manuscripts must be the result of the authors’ own scholarly and scientific work and must fall within the scope and specialization of the Islamic Art Studies journal. The content must be original and unpublished. Authors are not permitted to submit a manuscript that includes material previously used in another study. Likewise, they may not submit a manuscript containing overlapping material to another journal. A submission whether in whole or in part that has been published previously in Persian or any other language, or will be published elsewhere in the future, is not eligible for publication.
Furthermore, the manuscript must not be under review or in the publication process simultaneously in any journal inside or outside the country at the time of submission.
Authors must clearly indicate their original ideas and contributions, even when paraphrased or cited objectively. If sentences or passages in the manuscript are derived from or quoted from another author’s work, they must be placed in quotation marks. The manuscript must cite the source of any specialized information as well as general information. If data have been collected by the author or another researcher, all published or unpublished sources must be acknowledged.
Authors must not resubmit a manuscript that has previously been submitted to this journal, evaluated, and ultimately rejected by the Editor-in-Chief. Resubmission may be permitted only under specific circumstances. If the first version was not accepted and the author wishes to submit a revised version for further evaluation, a clear justification for resubmission must be provided to the Editor-in-Chief or reviewers.
Fabrication, Falsification, and Plagiarism
Authors must strictly avoid all forms of plagiarism and adhere fully to ethical and scholarly standards in conducting research. We fully accept all COPE guidelines related to plagiarism; if any attempt at plagiarism is reported with convincing evidence, we will act according to COPE’s established workflows and flowcharts.
Falsification involves altering or omitting research results (data) to support claims, hypotheses, or other outcomes. It may include manipulating data, materials, or research processes. Manipulating images or representations in ways that distort data is also considered falsification.
Fabrication refers to creating and/or adding data, observations, or characteristics that never occurred during data collection or experimentation. For example, fabrication may occur when researchers “fill in” missing experimental results. Claims based on incomplete or hypothetical data may also constitute fabrication.
AI Use Disclosure Guidelines
Authors must disclose any use of generative AI or AI-based technologies in the writing process in the final version of their manuscript. This disclosure must be added at the end of the main manuscript file, before the References section. It should appear under a separate heading titled:
“Declaration of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies in the Writing Process.”
Declaration:
“During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [name of tool/service] for [purpose]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take full responsibility for the content of the publication.”
