Editorial Policies

The journal maintains strict confidentiality during the review process to protect the identities of both authors and reviewers. Authors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest at both the initial and final stages of submission. This includes but is not limited to financial interests, consulting arrangements, or partnerships that may influence the objectivity of the research. If applicable, these disclosures will be published alongside the article. Additionally, authors must provide evidence of ethical clearances, such as institutional review board approval for studies involving human participants, animal research, or environmental impact assessments, if requested by the editorial team.

Upon acceptance of a manuscript, authors are required to sign a copyright agreement, granting IJFAII first publication rights and permission to distribute the article through global research databases and digital libraries. While the journal retains the rights for first publication and dissemination, authors retain full copyright of their work and will be properly credited for any reuse or distribution by the journal after publication.

IJFAII follows a continuous publication model, where articles are published immediately after acceptance and completion of the production process. Articles published within a calendar year will be submitted for indexing, including but not limited to ISI (International Scientific Indexing) and other databases relevant to fisheries, aquatic ecosystems, and environmental sciences. All published content is freely accessible to the global research community, eliminating the need for authors to obtain off-print permissions.

By adhering to these editorial policies, the International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Incremental Innovation strives to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and make meaningful contributions to the advancement of research in fisheries, aquaculture, and aquatic innovation worldwide.
