The International Journal of Communication, Science and Technology requires authors to properly cite all sources used in their research and to provide accurate, complete, and verifiable bibliographic information in accordance with the journal’s prescribed citation style.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all references are correctly cited and that appropriate credit is given to original sources. Any form of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or failure to acknowledge sources is considered unethical and may result in rejection of the manuscript or retraction of the published article.

The journal strictly prohibits citation manipulation, including excessive self-citation, inappropriate citation to increase citation counts, or coercive citation practices. Editors and reviewers monitor reference lists to ensure the relevance, accuracy, and integrity of citations.

The journal may use citation verification and tracking tools to support the accuracy and reliability of references. Maintaining proper citation practices is essential to uphold academic integrity and the credibility of scholarly communication.
