Statement of Scientific Integrity

Journal Marine Inside (EJMI) is committed to disseminating original, credible, and useful maritime scholarship. Our editorial standards are guided by scientific rigor, transparency, fairness, appropriate recognition of intellectual contributions, and accountability for the published record.

Scientific manuscripts are evaluated for relevance, originality, sound methodology, adequate reporting of evidence, and justified conclusions. Editorial decisions must be made independently of authors' institutional status, financial interests, or personal relationships. All parties must avoid fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, manipulated citations, and other forms of publication misconduct.

EJMI supports constructive scholarly criticism, ethical review of research involving people or sensitive information, responsible use of research data and AI tools, and prompt correction of important published errors.

The detailed procedures that implement this statement are set out in the Publication Ethics, Peer Review Process, and Retraction and Correction Policy.
