The International Food Insights Journal (IFIJ) aims to publish high-quality research through a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. Achieving this requires review and publication procedures that are comprehensive, impartial, and fair, as the journal’s reputation depends greatly on their integrity.
IFIJ’s Code of Ethics, which is largely based on the principles upheld by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), sets out standards for good conduct and provides guidance on addressing ethical dilemmas faced by authors, reviewers, and editors. This code is intended to safeguard and strengthen the journal’s reputation.
Authors, reviewers, and editors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these guidelines and direct any questions or concerns to the Editor-in-Chief. The guidelines apply to all manuscripts submitted to IFIJ. It is essential that all parties, particularly authors, reviewers, and editors, uphold the highest standards of ethical behavior in publishing. Compliance with this Code of Ethics is mandatory for all parties involved.
