Publishing Ethics

FOR AUTHORS
• The article must be presented to the editorial board of the International Journal of Armenian Genocide Studies (IJAGS) with the information about the author and all the co-authors (if applicable).
• The article must be an original research done exceptionally by the author/co-authors; plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
• The article must not be published previously in any other language in the same way, with the exception of particular occasions, with the editor’s consent.

• inform the author about the decision of the editorial board within three months after receiving the submission to the editorial office of the IJAGS,
• follow the publication ethics of the IJAGS and guarantee a high scientific level of the published works,
• not to publish personal data of the author and reviewers and not to provide such information to both sides.

COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS
It is the responsibility of the author to receive written permission for publishing or republishing any material (photograph, text, picture, table, diagram, etc.) protected by copyright. They should be provided to the editorial board of the IJAGS after being accepted for publication.
