POLICIES
Policy for Investigating Complaints
If the IJAHSP (Journal) receives a complaint that a
contribution infringes on copyright or other intellectual
property rights or contains material inaccuracies, libelous materials,
or otherwise unlawful materials, the Journal will investigate the
complaint. Investigation will include a request that the parties
involved substantiate their claims. The Journal will make a good faith
determination whether or not to remove the allegedly wrongful material.
A decision not to remove material will represent the Journal's belief
that the complaint is without sufficient foundation, or if well-founded,
that a legal defense or exemption may apply, such as fair use in the
case of copyright infringement or truthfulness of a statement in the
case of libel. The IJAHSP shall keep on record all documents related to
the complaint and the investigation.
Policy on Conflicts of Interest
The Journal will publish articles only after the
author(s) has confirmed that he/she has disclosed all potential
conflicts of interest, and only if the resolution of conflict of
interest is deemed favorable by the editorial board.
Policy on Use of Human Subjects in Research
The IJAHSP will publish research articles
involving human subjects only after the author(s) has verified that that
he/she has followed all laws and regulations concerning the protections
afforded human subjects in research studies within the jurisdiction in
which a research study they describe was conducted, and only after the
Editorial Board for the IJSHAP has determined that sufficient
protections, equal to or great than those of the United States (where the journal is
based) have been afforded to the subjects of the study. For
research conducted within the United States, the research protocol must
have been approved by the appropriate institutional review board (IRB).
In the case of exempt research, the IRB must have deemed the research
protocol exempt and documentation must be made available to the IJAHSP
upon request. Final decision to publish is that of the Editorial
Board of the IJAHSP.
Copyright Policy
Presentation of contributions to the IJAHSP is
made possible by transfer of copyright from the author to the IJAHSP
(see copyright release).
All elements of the Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and
Practice, including its name, structure, and organization are also
protected by copyright and are the property of Nova Southeastern
University. Author's or other interested parties wishing to reprint manuscripts in other non-IJAHSP
publications, must receive permission from the journal for doing so.
Libraries wishing to store contributions presented by the journal for
local retrieval may do so only if sufficient reference is given to the
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice, and only if
links to the original manuscript location are listed.
