Authorship:

All authors whose names appear on the submitted manuscript must give explicit consent for the submission of the manuscript to the IJDJL.

In articles written by more than one author, one of them should be assigned as a corresponding author who acts on behalf of all co-authors and ensures that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately addressed.

The corresponding author is responsible for the following:

• Ensuring that all listed authors have approved the manuscript before submission, including the names and order of authors;
• Handling all communication between the journal and all co-authors before and after publication;
• Ensuring that disclosures, declarations, and transparency on data statements from all authors are included in the manuscript appropriately.

Plagiarism: (“Research Authenticity”)

The IJDJL requires that submitted manuscripts are written in the author’s own words, except for quotations that are indicated and acknowledged as such. Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.

"A text similarity below 15% is acceptable by the journals".

"Even in the 15% similarity, if the matching text is one continuous block of borrowed material, it will be considered as plagiarized text of significant concern."
