The International Journal of Fundamental Research (IJFR) respects the privacy of authors, reviewers, editors, readers, visitors, and other users of its website and publishing services. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used, and the measures taken to protect that information.
By accessing or using the IJSSI website and related services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy together with the journal's Terms and Conditions.
Depending on how you use the Services, IJSSI may collect:
Information may be used to:
Manuscripts, reviewer reports, editorial correspondence, and related information may be accessed by authorized editorial and administrative personnel and, where appropriate, qualified reviewers involved in the publication process.
Peer-review information is handled confidentially except where disclosure is required by law, necessary for an investigation, or permitted by the applicable journal policy or review model.
Information included in published articles, such as author names, affiliations, ORCID identifiers, acknowledgements, article metadata, and corresponding-author information, may be made publicly available as part of the scholarly publication record.
The website may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary for login, security, functionality, preferences, analytics, or other legitimate website operations.
Users may be able to control cookies through their browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
IJSSI does not sell personal information for advertising purposes. Information may be shared with authorized service providers or technology partners where reasonably necessary to operate the journal, maintain the website, process submissions, provide technical services, archive or index publications, or comply with legal obligations.
Such parties should receive only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and, where applicable, should be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
Information may be processed for purposes of plagiarism screening, authorship verification, research-integrity investigations, conflict-of-interest assessment, peer-review management, and other activities required to maintain academic integrity.
IJSSI takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.
However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and users acknowledge the inherent risks associated with transmitting information electronically.
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for publication, editorial administration, scholarly record keeping, legal compliance, security, dispute resolution, or other legitimate purposes.
Subject to applicable law, individuals may request access to, correction of, or information about personal data held by the journal. Requests may be subject to identity verification, legal limitations, and legitimate editorial or publication requirements.
Requests should be submitted through the Contact and Support page.
The IJSSI website may contain links to external websites, repositories, indexing services, payment platforms, ORCID, DOI services, or other third-party services. Those services operate under their own privacy policies and terms.
IJSSI's Services are intended primarily for academic, research, professional, and scholarly users. The journal does not knowingly request unnecessary personal information from children.
IJSSI may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, publishing practices, legal requirements, or journal operations. Revised versions will be published on this page.
For privacy-related questions or requests, please contact the journal through the Contact and Support page.
