Gerasi in Mathematics Education (GIME) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and academic integrity. The journal follows established principles of responsible scholarly publishing and expects all authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher to uphold ethical standards throughout the research, peer-review, editorial, and publication processes.
The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, duplicate publication, citation manipulation, authorship misconduct, peer-review manipulation, or other forms of academic misconduct.
This Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement applies to all manuscripts submitted to and published by GIME.
GIME is committed to the following principles:
All parties involved in the publication process are expected to act professionally and responsibly.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts meet appropriate standards of academic integrity and research ethics.
Authors must ensure that:
Authors must cooperate with the editorial team during investigations of suspected research or publication misconduct.
Authors must submit original work.
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:
All manuscripts may be screened using plagiarism or similarity detection software.
The editorial team evaluates similarity reports in context. A similarity percentage alone does not determine whether plagiarism has occurred.
Where substantial plagiarism is identified, the manuscript may be rejected. If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal may issue a correction, expression of concern, or retraction depending on the seriousness of the case.
GIME considers fabrication and falsification of research data to be serious forms of academic misconduct.
Fabrication refers to making up data, results, participants, experiments, or other research information that did not occur.
Falsification refers to manipulating research materials, instruments, processes, data, images, results, or other research information in a way that misrepresents the research.
Authors must maintain appropriate research records and should be able to provide supporting information or data when reasonably requested by the editorial team.
Confirmed fabrication or falsification may result in rejection or retraction and may be reported to the relevant institution where appropriate.
Manuscripts submitted to GIME must not have been published previously in substantially similar form.
Authors must not submit the same manuscript simultaneously to multiple journals.
Duplicate or redundant publication includes publishing substantially overlapping research or findings without appropriate disclosure and justification.
If duplicate publication is discovered, the journal may reject the manuscript or take appropriate post-publication action, including correction or retraction.
Authorship should accurately reflect substantial contributions to the research.
Authors should have made meaningful contributions to one or more of the following:
All authors must approve the final manuscript and agree to be accountable for the work.
Individuals who contributed to the research but do not meet authorship criteria should be appropriately acknowledged.
Any addition, removal, or rearrangement of authors after submission requires:
The editorial team may request additional documentation before approving changes in authorship.
Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest.
Conflicts may include:

Authors are responsible for the integrity and accuracy of research data.
Where appropriate, authors should retain original research data and supporting documentation for a reasonable period following publication.
Authors may be asked to provide clarification or supporting information if concerns arise regarding the validity of the research.
Where ethical, legal, or confidentiality restrictions apply, authors should clearly explain limitations concerning data sharing.
Authors must disclose all sources of financial support related to the research.
Funding information should identify:
If no external funding was received, authors should provide an appropriate statement.
Funding information must not influence editorial decisions.
Authors may use artificial intelligence tools for appropriate purposes such as language improvement, translation assistance, formatting support, or other limited technical assistance.

AI tools must not be used to fabricate research data, research participants, results, citations, reviewer reports, or other scholarly evidence.
GIME recognizes the responsibility to maintain an accurate scholarly record.

Retractions are intended to correct the scholarly record rather than punish authors.
The original article will remain part of the journal's archive but will be clearly identified as retracted.
Where serious concerns have been raised but an investigation has not yet been completed, the journal may publish an Expression of Concern.
An Expression of Concern may be used when the editorial team believes that readers should be informed about significant questions concerning the reliability or integrity of a published article.
