In the İhya International of Islamic Studies, the guidelines related to the Scientific Research and Publication Ethics of Higher Education Institutions, the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the International Standards for Editors and Authors provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) should be adhered to. Practices such as plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, duplicate publication, salami slicing, and including individuals without a genuine contribution as authors are unacceptable within the framework of ethical principles. In cases of ethical misconduct related to these or similar practices, necessary legal actions will be taken.

a) Plagiarism:
Plagiarism involves presenting another person's original ideas, methods, data, or works as one’s own, either partially or entirely, without proper citation in accordance with scientific standards. Authors must ensure appropriate referencing and give credit to all scientific works included in their research to avoid plagiarism.

b) Data Fabrication:
The use of nonexistent or manipulated data in scientific research falls under data fabrication. Authors must collect data ethically and analyze it without making alterations that could affect the validity and reliability of the research.

c) Falsification:
Altering records or data obtained from research, claiming the use of instruments or materials not actually utilized in the study, or modifying research outcomes to align with the interests of supporting individuals or organizations constitutes falsification. Authors must be honest, objective, and transparent in all information they provide related to the research process, avoiding any breach of ethical principles.

d) Duplicate Publication:
Submitting the same publication as separate works without referencing prior publications is considered duplicate publication. Authors are fully responsible for ensuring that the work submitted for evaluation has not been previously published elsewhere or is not under review. Authors should avoid duplication and strive to submit original and unique research.

e) Salami Slicing (Segmented Publication):
Dividing the results of a study inappropriately into multiple parts and presenting them as separate publications disrupts the integrity of the research and is considered segmented publication. Authors should maintain research integrity and avoid segmenting their findings in a way that affects the results.

f) Authorship:
Including individuals who have not contributed to the research as authors or excluding those who have contributed constitutes unethical authorship practices. All authors must have contributed sufficiently to the planning, design, data collection, analysis, evaluation, preparation, and finalization of the study for publication.
