Duties of Authors
Originality
Authors must ensure that their submission is of high quality in the field of applied mathematics or computer science, and that it describes innovative research results. They must cite the publications that motivated or inspired their article. Any information, figure, sentence or table, used in the submission and which comes from the work of others must be referenced in the paper. Appropriate recognition of the work of others is a necessity.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is defined as passing off the work or ideas of another, or substantial parts of the work of another, as one's own. It constitutes unethical behavior and is unacceptable.
Redundant publishing
As a general rule, authors should not seek publication of manuscripts on the same research multiple times. The only cases that may deviate from this rule concern pre-publications, conference communications and theses. In the event of a resumption, the authors must clearly describe the substantial contribution of the second manuscript compared to the first. They must have contributed to all stages: the preliminary version, proofreading and approval of the final research.
Authorship of the paper
The authors are natural persons who have made substantial contributions to one of the essential aspects (methodology, theory, prototyping, experiments, simulations, analysis and interpretation of data) of the article. Other people whose contribution is not substantial must be recognized in the acknowledgments. Authors must agree on the order of their names before submission. Any request to modify the list of authors (addition or deletion of names, modification of the order of names) after submission of the paper, is only admissible in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the editorial committee. The corresponding author represents all other authors on the editorial board. Any action he undertakes with the journal must first receive the approval of all the other authors, who then collectively assume responsibility for their article.
Conflict of interest
Authors must declare any potential conflict of interest, whether professional, financial or otherwise, which could be interpreted as having influenced their research work. In particular, all sources of financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the submission must be indicated.
Generative AI and AI tools
ARIMA monitors the evolution of AI technologies, particularly generative AI and AI-based assistants, and will refine its ethical code based on future developments in AI. As a general rule
- a direct product of generative AI cannot be considered as an original result;
- any use of this tool must be surrounded by all guarantees related to copyright;
- AI technologies should not be cited as authors since authorship implies responsibilities that can only be assumed by humans;
- if AI methods are used to improve the form of the article, the authors must mention this in the « Acknowledgments » section, specifying the parts of the article concerned.
Important error
Authors have an obligation to cooperate with the editorial board to correct or withdraw their submission following notification of significant errors. Authors have the obligation to immediately inform the editorial board of any significant error discovered after publication of their article. Third parties are
encouraged to report possible material errors.
Data access
The editorial board encourages authors to make the data used available to the scientific community and to keep said data for a reasonable period after publication of the article. Exceptions are only possible in exceptional circumstances. Fabrication and falsification of data with the intent to deceive or mislead the scientific community constitutes unethical and unacceptable behavior.
Confidentiality
The authors undertake to obtain all necessary authorizations for the disclosure of information obtained in the course of their work. They remain solely responsible for any uses that contravene the law.
Defamatory remarks
The authors undertake to respect the rules of scientific debate. They must ensure that their article is free from any defamatory, hateful or fraudulent comments. They remain solely responsible for the opinions expressed in the article.
