AUASR (Anhalt University Applied Scientific Reports)
Anhalt University of Applied Sciences offers academic staff the opportunity to publish articles free of charge in open access. The interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed Diamond Open Access journal *Anhalt University Applied Scientific Reports* (AUASRTM) serves as the official publication for applied research at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences. This initiative is designed in particular to support early-career researchers and to increase the visibility of the university’s research activities. The authors serve as editors for their own articles.

Authors may not submit the same or substantially similar content to this journal and another journal at the same time. Any form of plagiarism is strictly prohibited. If multiple authors are listed on a manuscript, all are expected to have made a significant contribution to the research and approve the submission.
Research on humans and animals Human studies:
- When conducting human studies, authors must adhere to the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
- Animal testing must comply with ARRIVE guidelines and be conducted in accordance with applicable legislation (e.g. U.K. Animals [Scientific Procedures] Act 1986, EU Directive 2010/63/EU or equivalent national standards).
Use of AI in Manuscript Preparation:
- Authors who utilize generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools during writing must ensure these tools are used strictly for language refinement and clarity, under direct human supervision. AI-generated content should not be listed as an author or cited as a source. A clear disclosure of any AI usage must be included in the manuscript. Final responsibility for the work rests solely with the human authors.
Disclosure of AI-Assisted Writing:
- Authors must include a statement in the main manuscript—positioned before the References section—if generative AI tools were used during the manuscript preparation. This disclosure should be placed under a dedicated section titled "Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted Technologies in the Writing Process."
Authorship Changes
- Authors must finalize and agree upon the list and order of contributors before submitting their manuscript. Once submitted, no changes to authorship will be allowed. The editorial team will not entertain any requests to modify author details post-submission.
Funding Acknowledgement
- All sources of financial support for the research and/or manuscript preparation must be disclosed. Authors should also indicate the role (if any) of the funders in designing the study, collecting and analyzing data, interpreting results, preparing the manuscript, and deciding to submit the article. If the sponsors were not involved, authors are encouraged to explicitly state this.
