Manuscripts submitted for publication must be based on original, unpublished research. They must include the data obtained and used, and an objective discussion of the results. They must supply enough information to allow any specialist to reproduce the research and confirm or refute the interpretations defended in the manuscript.

Authors must follow the following ethical principles:

• • Reporting standards: Authors should accurately present their original research and objectively discuss its significance. Manuscripts are to be edited following the submission guidelines of the journal. Authors are also responsible for language editing before submitting the article. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and unacceptable.
• • Originality and Plagiarism: Authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and words of others, this has been appropriately cited or quoted. All authors must ensure that the data and results reported in the manuscript are original and have not been copied, fabricated, falsified, or manipulated.

• • Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not publish manuscripts describing the same research in more than one journal or conference. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. No significant part of the article must have been previously published either as an article or as a chapter or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
• • Data Access and Retention: Authors should retain raw data related to their submitted papers and provide it for editorial review upon request of the Editor-in-Chief.
• • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Conflicts of interest easily identified are financial interests such as direct employment, payment for consultancies, participation in a company, salary fees, patent exploitation, or payment for lectures. However, conflicts may also arise from friendships, intellectual rivalry, academic competition, or personal beliefs. When sending an article for publication, all authors must declare any financial or personal involvement with any public or private institution that might influence (even if unintentionally) the results of their work. Likewise, authors must declare any non-financial relation that may cause a conflict of interest in their work (personal, academic, ideological, intellectual, political, or religious). Conflicts of interest, both financial and non-financial, must be notified when the article is submitted. The rationale behind this requisite is not to impede the publication of authors with competing interests but to ensure that these can be clearly identified so that readers can judge if authors may be predisposed or influenced in their work. At the end of the work, a note referred to as “Conflict of interest” will be published. The status included will appear as 'None' if no conflict exists.
• • Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited only to those who have contributed significantly to conceiving, designing, executing, and interpreting the submitted study. Authors should provide appropriate authorship attribution and acknowledgment. Authors must refrain from deliberately misrepresenting a scientist’s relationship with published work. All authors must have significantly contributed to the research. Those who do not meet these three criteria can only be mentioned in the acknowledgments. To avoid the risk of ghostwriting or fictive/purloined authorship, it is advisable that before the document is submitted, all authors agree on their contributions and the order in which they will appear on the list of co-authors. To guarantee the adequate attribution of publications and quotes, the journal requires the ORCID ID from all involved authors.

Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Any assignment or words of other authors, contributors, or sources should be appropriately credited and referenced. Reviewers should attempt to identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that a result or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge. Accordingly, authors should provide appropriate authorship attribution and acknowledgment.

Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, the author must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

Authors are permitted to reuse published works, i.e., the post-print (final PDF file of the publisher) can be archived. Authors are encouraged to upload and store their work in social media, institutional and public repositories, scientific, social networks, personal websites, blogs, etc.

Information about funding: All authors must state if their research has received private or public funding. For the submission, authors are required to indicate any financial support from private or public sources that may have been obtained for the recollection of data, analysis, and interpretation of results, or even for writing the article’s text. Each author must provide all the information concerning the funding received for the research and work submitted to the journal. Said information includes the name of the funding entity, the ID number of the fund, and the description of the role played by the funding entity in the research process (selection of the hypothesis, design of the investigation/experimentation, participation in any phase, analysis, writing, or review). If the funding entity has not participated in the execution of the research process, it must be expressly declared as well.

Publication decisions: The Editor-in-Chief of the journal is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The editor may be guided by the editorial policies of the journal and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor may confer with associate editors or reviewers in making this decision. The journal’s Editorial Board will initially assess all contributions. Each paper considered suitable is sent to two independent peer reviewers who are experts in their field and can assess the work's specific qualities. The editor is responsible for the final decision regarding whether or not the paper is accepted or rejected. The decision to publish a paper will always be measured by its importance to researchers, practitioners, and potential readers. Editors should make unbiased decisions independent of commercial considerations.

Fair Peer Review: The Editor-in-Chief ensures that each manuscript received is evaluated on its intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy. Each article submitted is the responsibility of one member of the Editorial Board or of the international scientific committee, who undertakes to have it evaluated by two peers who are experts in the field and evaluate it anonymously. Reviewed articles are treated confidentially by editorial board members, members of the international scientific committee, and reviewers. The Editorial Board will assess and acknowledge the input of all those involved in reviewing the manuscript submitted to the journal.

Confidentiality: The Editor-in-Chief, the members of the Editorial Board, and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the authors of the manuscript, reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Identifying and preventing misconduct: In no case shall TRANSLANG journal and the members of the Editorial Board and the international scientific committee encourage misconduct of any kind or knowingly allow such misconduct to occur. Members of the Editorial Board and the international scientific committee shall try to prevent misconduct by informing authors and reviewers about their ethical conduct. Members of the Editorial Board, scientific committee, and reviewers are asked to be aware of all types of misconduct in order to identify papers where research misconduct of any kind has or seems to have occurred and deal with the allegations accordingly. In case of misconduct, the journal editor is responsible for resolving the issue. He or she can work with the other co-editor, Editorial Board and scientific committee members, peer reviewers, and experts in the field. The issue will be documented accordingly. All factual questions should be documented: who, what, when, where, and why. All relevant documents should be kept, particularly the article(s) concerned. The journal editor shall contact the author or publication involved, either the author submitting or another co-author. The author is thus allowed to respond to or comment on the complaint, allegation, or dispute. If misconduct has or seems to have occurred or in the case of needed corrections, the Editorial Board deals with the different cases by following the appropriate COPE recommendations.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript will not be used in the research of the Editor-in-Chief or the Editorial Board members without the author's express written consent. Editors who make final decisions about manuscripts should withdraw from editorial decisions if they have conflicts of interest or relationships that pose potential problems concerning articles under consideration. The responsibility of the final decision regarding publication will be attributed to an editor with no conflicts of interest.

All research articles published in Traduction et Langues TRANSLANG Journal are subjected to a rigorous double-blind peer review process based on the initial selection of the editor, the anonymous arbitration of external reviewers of expertise in their particular field, and the subsequent revisions of the article’s author(s) when needed. The Editorial Team will assign the article to a minimum of two specialists who will review the article and provide recommendations to improve it, as well as give their verdict on the acceptance or rejection of the article. A definitive publication will require a positive evaluation of both. If such is not the case, the article will be subjected to a third evaluation. The result will lead to either the acceptance of the work, the need to introduce corrections to re-evaluate the potential acceptance of the work, or its final rejection. The double-blind peer review process ensures that the assigned reviewers do not know the author's identity, just as authors ignore the identity of who is reviewing their work.

All reviewers must follow the following ethical principles:

• Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board in making editorial decisions, and the editorial communications with the author via ASJP may also assist the author in improving the paper.

• Promptness: A selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and decline to review the paper.

• Confidentiality: The manuscripts for review will be treated as confidential documents. They will not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

• Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

• Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should attempt to identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. The relevant citation should accompany any statement that a result or argument has been previously reported. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper they have personal knowledge of.

• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts with conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
