Our definition of a complaint is as follows:

The complainant defines his or her expression of unhappiness as a complaint.

The complaint must be about something that is within the responsibility of the International Journal of Humanities and Sciences - content or process.

Policy for Handling Complaints

If the Journal receives a complaint that any contribution to the Journal infringes intellectual property rights or contains material inaccuracies, libelous materials or otherwise unlawful materials, the Journal will investigate the complaint. Investigation may include a request that the parties involved substantiate their claims. The Journal will make a good faith determination whether to remove the allegedly wrongful material. A decision not to remove material should represent the Journal's belief that the complaint is without sufficient foundation, or if well? founded, that a legal defense or exemption may apply, such as truthfulness of a statement in the case of libel. Journal should document its investigation and decision. We strive to ensure that International Journal of Humanities and Sciences is of the highest quality and is free from errors. However, we accept that occasionally mistakes might happen.

As far as possible, we will investigate complaints in a blame-free manner, looking to see how systems can be improved to prevent mistakes occurring.
