This model satisfies the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) definition: all articles are freely available on public internet platforms, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, and utilise the work for any lawful purpose. The journal therefore eliminates financial, legal, and technical barriers to knowledge dissemination, aligning with international principles of open science.

Copyright Retention

Protecting Authors’ Rights

Copyright protects how an article is written, including its description of an experiment and its results. ATRAS Journal is dedicated to safeguarding its authors’ work and reputation and takes all allegations of infringement, plagiarism, ethical disputes, and fraud very seriously.

Plagiarism Detection

ATRAS strictly adheres to international plagiarism policies. The editorial team takes comprehensive measures to prevent plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct. To ensure the originality of submitted manuscripts, we use the plagiarism-detection software Plagiarism Checker X. Every manuscript undergoes plagiarism screening before the peer review process. A designated secretary conducts these initial checks. Additionally, the final versions of accepted papers are reviewed once more for plagiarism to ensure compliance.

Publication Policy

ATRAS Journal is committed to upholding high ethical standards and follows the principles and best practices in publishing outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The papers submitted to the journal must be in line with the journal’s aim and scope. The journal accepts only papers that have not been published, are not under consideration elsewhere, and are not currently under evaluation in any other journal.

Changing the name of the corresponding author or the order of the authors (omission, change, or addition) requires signed permission by all the authors of the paper.
The journal does not accept papers that contain plagiarised content or any other form of academic misconduct, including duplication, fraudulent authorship, data fabrication, copyright infringement, or conflicts of interest. All submitted manuscripts must adhere to accepted ethical standards. Any paper that violates these standards will be removed from publication. Authors are also responsible for any attempts at falsification or fabrication.

Publication Decision

The editor of ATRAS Journal is responsible for deciding whether to publish a paper or decline it. The validation of the work and its importance to researchers and readers should be put at the centre of the editor’s deliberation. The editor should be guided by the journal's policies and the editorial board's guidelines and should enforce them regarding copyright infringement and plagiarism. To ensure the quality of the published papers, all manuscripts will undergo a plagiarism check assigned by the journal editor.

Peer Review Process Policy

ATRAS Journal follows a double-blind peer review process. This means it follows a blinded review, in which the author’s name is concealed from the reviewer and vice versa.

The submission and review processes take place at the Algerian Scientific Journal Platforms (ASJP).

Link: https://www.asjp.cerist.dz/en/PresentationRevue/880

Authors are also encouraged to submit their papers via email to the journal’s editor if they encounter platform-level issues.

Objectives of Peer Review

-To assess the quality of the paper before publication. Is it an original contribution? What are the suggested comments to improve the paper so that it can gain visibility after publication?

-To provide experts with an assessment of the quality and soundness of the submission after the review.

-To give guidance to the editorial decision-maker to make an objective decision on whether to accept, accept subject to change, or reject.

-To guide the authors to improve the quality of their papers.

Retraction Policy

If the paper contains any intellectual theft or any type of manipulation after publication, it will be retracted, and the author will be blacklisted. The author will take full responsibility. A letter detailing the reasons for the retraction will be sent to the author and his/her institution.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

The editor, executive editors, and editorial board should not use any unpublished material from unpublished manuscripts in their own research without the author's express written consent.
The editor should not be involved in decisions regarding any paper submitted by him/herself or any other member of the editorial board. As with all papers submitted to the journal, this paper should follow all the journal's usual procedures (plagiarism checking, reviewing, and editing). The editor should follow ICMJE guidelines on disclosure of potential conflicts of interest by authors and reviewers.

Reviewers must keep any information or ideas obtained through peer review confidential and must not use them for personal benefit. They should avoid any conflict of interest with authors in making decisions concerning accepting or rejecting a paper.

Authors should disclose any financial or other conflicts of interest that may influence the results and interpretation of the manuscript. The authors should acknowledge all financial support.

Privacy Statement

The names and email addresses entered into the journal system will be used for the journal's stated purposes and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party.

Informed Consent Policy

Before starting research, the researcher should obtain institutional approval. Data and information from people who participated in data collection must be handled with a high level of confidentiality. Therefore, researchers should obtain written informed consent from participants before initiating data collection procedures, unless the study is conducted in fields that do not require an informed consent policy, such as literature. It should include a clear, concise description of the research. The following information should appear in the informed consent:

  • The main aim of the study
  • The expected results
  • The target population
  • The significance of the result
  • Instructions that the participants must follow
  • Any risks or discomforts that may affect participants.

– The decision to participate is voluntary, and the participants have the right to refuse or withdraw from the experiment without losing any benefits from the consent form.
– An approximate number of participants actively involved in the research

Advertising Policy

The publisher and the editorial board of ATRAS Journal prohibit all forms of commercial advertising. This policy remains in effect until the editorial board revises the journal’s policy.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Submission/Publication

Authors should not publish the same research in more than one journal. Besides, submitting the same paper to more than one journal constitutes an unethical publishing practice. An author has not yet submitted a paper previously published in another journal for publication.

The Use of AI in Writing

By September 2024, ATRAS will introduce a new policy about the use of AI content generators. The journal aims to introduce this new policy to enhance transparency and provide guidance to everyone involved in the creation process, including authors, editors, reviewers, readers, and contributors.

AI use is restricted to enhancing the language and readability of authors’ work. To disclose the use of generative AI in the writing process, authors must add a statement to the end of the paper under a new section called “Declaration of AI use”, and before the list of references.

ATRAS will continue to adapt and refine its policy on the use of AI tools in writing. According to the COPE position statement on the response to AI tools:

ATRAS’ editor reserves the right to reject or withdraw the manuscript directly if the use of AI tools in the manuscript is concealed.

AI tools can not be listed as authors or co-authors of papers. Because they cannot be held responsible for the submissions and cannot manage copyright and licensing agreements.

Authors who use AI tools in their submissions (including but not limited to: during the writing of the article or when collecting and analysing data) must be transparent in disclosing in the Methods or acknowledgments section of the paper how the AI tool was used and which tool was used.

Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, including, but not limited to, sections produced by AI tools or data analysed using AI tools in the research process.
