Publication Ethics

The International Conference on Teacher Training and Education (ICTTE) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures to prevent any publication malpractice. The Editorial Board bears responsibility for ensuring ethical publication practices. Unethical behavior is unacceptable, and ICTTE does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. Authors submitting manuscripts affirm that their work is original, has not been published previously in any language, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Editors, authors, and reviewers involved in the ICTTE publication process are expected to adhere to good publication practices and the ethical standards outlined in the COPE Code of Conduct for Journal Editors.
