This framework safeguards the quality of our journal and supports the advancement of trustworthy, high-impact global health and epidemiology research.
1. Ethical Responsibilities of Authors
Originality & Plagiarism
All manuscripts must be original, properly referenced, and not under review elsewhere. MJGHE uses plagiarism detection software to verify authenticity. Plagiarism, data fabrication, and duplicate submissions are strictly prohibited.

Authorship is reserved for those who have made significant contributions—such as study design, data analysis, result interpretation, or manuscript drafting. All authors must approve the final submission.
Data Accuracy & Transparency
Authors must provide complete, accurate, and reproducible data. Manipulation, fabrication, or selective reporting will lead to rejection or retraction. Raw data may be requested during peer review.
Conflict of Interest Disclosure
All potential conflicts—financial, institutional, or personal—must be disclosed upon submission to maintain trust and transparency.
Ethical Approval & Consent
Research involving humans, animals, or sensitive data must have prior approval from an ethics board or institutional review committee, and informed consent must be obtained from participants.
