Data Integrity

The Caucasus Journal of Social Sciences maintains strict standards of research integrity and does not tolerate data fabrication or falsification.

Data fabrication involves the creation of data or results that have not been obtained through actual research. Data falsification refers to the manipulation, selective reporting, or omission of data or findings in a manner that distorts or misrepresents the research outcomes.

All submitted manuscripts may be subject to editorial checks and, where appropriate, further investigation. If concerns arise during review or after publication, the journal will follow established ethical procedures to assess the case.

Confirmed cases of fabrication or falsification will result in rejection of the manuscript or retraction of the published article.

Authors are expected to ensure that all data presented is accurate, verifiable, and honestly reported.
