Althair: Journal of Community Service and Innovation is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and academic integrity by adhering to the Core Practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All parties involved in the publication process—including editors, reviewers, authors, and the publisher—are expected to uphold the principles of academic honesty, objectivity, transparency, confidentiality, fairness, and professional responsibility while avoiding all forms of publication misconduct.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that submitted manuscripts are original, have not been published previously, and are not under consideration by another journal. All data and information presented must be accurate, reliable, and free from fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or other forms of research misconduct. Authors are also required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may influence the research or publication process.

Editors are responsible for making editorial decisions fairly and impartially, without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, nationality, institutional affiliation, or political beliefs. Reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts objectively and constructively, maintain the confidentiality of all submitted materials, and disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could affect their judgment.
