Funding Disclosure Policy

DScholar Press International requires full transparency regarding all sources of financial support related to submitted and published manuscripts. Authors must disclose any funding received for the research, writing, data collection, analysis, or publication of the work.

Funding information must include the name of the funding agency, grant number (if applicable), and a clear description of the role of the funder in the research process. If no external funding was received, authors must explicitly state that the research was conducted without financial support.

Funding sources must be disclosed at the time of manuscript submission and will be published as part of the final record to ensure transparency for readers, indexing services, and academic institutions. Any involvement of funders in study design, data interpretation, manuscript preparation, or publication decisions must also be clearly stated.

Failure to disclose funding sources or misrepresentation of financial support may result in rejection, correction, or retraction of the published work, depending on the severity of the issue. All disclosures are reviewed as part of the editorial and peer review process.

This policy ensures transparency, accountability, and compliance with international publishing ethics standards, including COPE guidelines.
