Process for identification of and dealing with allegations of research misconduct
Both the publishers and editors of the journal take steps to identify and prevent the publication of manuscripts in which research misconduct has occurred, including but not limited to plagiarism, manipulation of citations and data falsification/fabrication. When submitting articles, authors are asked for a conflict of interest statement. All manuscripts are double-checked for plagiarism system.
In the event that the journal publisher or editors are informed of any allegation of research misconduct in relation to an article published in their journal - COPE guidelines will be applied when dealing with allegations.

Data policies
The editorial board encourages data sharing and suggests that authors make their underlying data available to other researchers, choosing an appropriate public repository for archiving on a case-by-case basis.

Archiving
Editorial team archives the content of IJAME in the digital resources of the Library of the University of Zielona Góra.

Advertising
Editorial team includes the possibility of advertising as an expression of support for the development of science in the form of a company logo on the online homepage.

Direct marketing
We do not engage in email solicitation of articles and never send emails to potential authors to encourage them to submit a manuscript.
