The Journal of Science and Technology on Information security (hereinafter referred to as the Journal) is an academic, scientific, specialized publication in the field of information security and safety. The journal applies the publication ethics principles outlined in the COPE Core Principles (https://publicationethics.org/). We take publishing ethics very seriously and accept our responsibility to maintain the integrity of scientific articles as much as possible.

Therefore, standards of publishing ethics need to be followed by all parties involved in publishing including: Reviewers, Editors-in-Chief, Editors, Authors and associations or communities co-sponsors the magazine or has a magazine sponsorship. As follows:

Reviewers

- Contribute to editorial decisions: The reviewer's task is to support the Journal Editorial Board in making decisions during the editorial process and through specific comments on research, thereby supporting the author. Authors and Journals improve article quality. When a reviewer invited by the Journal finds that he or she does not meet the qualifications and standards to review the submitted research or knows that doing the review will not be feasible, he or she must inform the Journal and send a letter refusing the invitation to participate in the review process.

- Confidentiality: Any manuscript undergoing the Journal's review process is considered a confidential document. Reviewers are not allowed to share reviews or information about the article with anyone or contact the author directly without the consent of the Journal. Reviewers are not allowed to use research documents/results in the article manuscript without the author's consent.

- Ethical warnings: Reviewers should be aware of potential conflicts of interest related to the article and promptly notify the Journal, including any similarities and significant overlap between the manuscripts under review and published articles known to the reviewers.

- Standards of objectivity: Reviewing work needs to be done objectively without any personal bias in the manuscript review process. It is considered inappropriate to criticize an individual author who is submitting a manuscript. If a reviewer suggests that an author includes citations to the reviewer’s (or their associates’) work, this must be for genuine scientific reasons and not with the intention of increasing the reviewer’s citation count or enhancing the visibility of their work (or that of their associates).

Editor-in-chief

Responsible for approved decisions; assign the Scientific Secretary and Editor to take steps to handle the review and editing process of the article. The Editor-in-chief makes the final decision on all submitted articles.

Editor

- Editors have a responsibility to maintain the integrity of scientific articles, have appropriate processes in place to ensure the quality of the article upon publication, and prevent business needs from influencing intellectual standards wisdom and morality.

- Editors may not use privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review for personal gain or to disparage others.

- The Editorial Board uses the Journal's available systems to create opportunities for authors to provide original research articles for free and ensures that the author's articles submitted for publication in the Journal are kept confidential while reviewing.

- The editor ensures to use the Journal's double-blind peer review system and does not disclose the identity of the reviewer to the author to ensure objectivity and quality of research published in the journal. There are at least two or more reviewers for the total number of articles in each issue.

Author

- Authorship: Only individuals who make significant contributions to research have authorship rights on the article.

- Criteria for article manuscripts: Authors need to provide article manuscripts to the Journal with research results that have never been published/published in any article/information site. Authors must ensure that all individuals listed as authors have legitimate input into the article and manuscript.

- Originality of manuscript, plagiarism and source confirmation: Authors need to ensure the originality of the article before sending it to the Journal. The author is responsible for the content, quality, legality and plagiarism (plagiarism rate no more than 25%, if any) of the article, in compliance with the Intellectual Property Law of Vietnam and internationally. If the author uses documents or quotes from other scientists, he or she must cite the source or ask permission to use that document in research.

- Accessing and storing documents: Data, references and other information in the research article must be presented accurately and completely so that the research can be replicated. If the article contains fraud or intentionally makes inaccurate statements, the author is considered to have acted unethically. Authors should provide research support data for the editorial process and make public access to that data available. Data in articles should be retained for a reasonable period of time after publication.

- Multiple articles: Authors do not publish manuscripts with the same research content in more than one journal or publishing unit.

- Declaration of conflict of interest: In the manuscript, all authors should clearly disclose personal relationships and financial resources with other individuals or organizations with potential inappropriate influence to research projects. Authors and authors need to specifically list sources of financial support for conducting research and/or completing the article. If the funding source does not have any relevance, the author and authors also need to clearly declare it in the article. Authors should disclose potential conflicts of interest related to the article as soon as possible.
