Authors should note the following guidelines for submitting manuscripts:
All authors are expected to adhere to the highest standards of publication ethics, as prescribed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Any form of academic misconduct, including but not limited to data fabrication or falsification, plagiarism (including self-plagiarism without appropriate acknowledgment), and the unauthorized use or misappropriation of another individual’s work, is deemed unacceptable. Allegations or instances of ethical violations shall be treated with the utmost seriousness and will be addressed in accordance with the established COPE guidelines to preserve the integrity and credibility of the scholarly record.
The University of Baguio supports the use of Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (ORCID) and mandates that the corresponding author provide an ORCID iD upon manuscript submission. We strongly encourage co-authors to register for ORCID and link their ORCID iDs to the submission. The ORCID iD of the corresponding author, along with those provided by co-authors, will be published.
Authors may also utilize the Turnitin Draft Coach to check their manuscript for similarity. This tool is available in Google Docs under the ‘Add-Ons’ tab. To access it, please log in using your UB Mail credentials. For more information
