Yes, but, if you submit your paper for publication, which is the goal, the appropriate people (from the journal, book etc.) will know about its existence and so, there is no dilemma, with one prerequisite; the journal etc. must be reliable.

Submit your MSS in good periodicals. They maintain  privacy of the MSS,  till they are published.

You can also take precaution by not showing the MSS to others prior to publication.

Dear Subir,

Is there any official online archiving system  to keep the novelty of my research ?

You can also try publishing alone so that the work is not exposed to others who may pillage from it.

Best regards,

Debra

Submit you paper in good journals only. Good journals always try there best to keep the manuscript safe from others till their acceptance. Even when they reject, they maintain privacy of the manuscript of the submitted articles.

In my opinion, a best way someone has to follow for protecting their research paper, until it is officially published, is not to show it.

Store your research in a USB that has a password until you complete the research. Then send to a recognised peer-review journal that will publish it. If it is a research that requires a patent right, then get it patented first.

All above answers are true, so you can do one to protect your paper.

How to protect my research paper until it officially publish?

Agreed with Mahamad's answer above i.e. submit the research paper to good journals in which the author & the journal will sign a kind of Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) so that both parties' interests are protected.

Ii is sad  that research and publication is such a hunting field of ideas and works of others, when some one uses the word "to protect" which is scary. It seems it is like any other business but of a different kind. I know the big fight out side and in court, between Leibniz and Newton on who wrote formulas of calculus first, who steal ideas from whom.

Dear Humberto,

Dear All,

''God bless the appropriate people!; in my experience, they are like eternal love, many people speak about it but nobody have seen it.''

Yes, but ''the appropriate people (from the journal, book etc.)'' as I have written, are real persons. If my sentence ''the journal etc. must be reliable'' is true, there is no problem.

Best regards

Dear Humberto,

Regarding your latter response, I consider that the people you referred, were the appropriate, taking into account that your books were published. Besides, you have written that ''If I didn' accept the conditions, the books have never been published.'' Nevertheless, let's not forget that proper actions and luck play their role in a high degree.

And even worst, when someone has to pay for seeing their books published.

I agree with Jaideep. Data are sometimes taken by others unknowingly or by  forceful consent.

The problem is still there. Unfortunately, I did not get a clear answer for my question. 

Any more suggestions?

In fact, you should always upload your papers to the arXiv first. It keeps track of information such as the date in which a particular version of a particular paper was uploaded, so if someone tries to steal results of yours you can always refer to the arXiv and show to people that you already had those results at an earlier date.

The best way to secure your research is to pre-print your article in some journal or repository. A pre-print is a publication that has not been peer-reviewed before publication. Once your paper is online, anyone can see it. It will be given a DOI, URL, publication date etc., so it is highly visible. Pre-print makes sure that your work is not copied and published by anyone else. If someone copied it, they will be caught because your work already exists online before they published the copied one. Here is an example of Pre-print. https://peerj.com/preprints/2362v1/ The same paper was published a few months later with minor changes - here - https://peerj.com/articles/2675/

Don't share with anyone until it is published, that is the easiest way to protect your work. 

 I am dead sure that the journals are adherent to the issue of copyrights of authors. Your research is yours and they will surely not steal it. Just submit your research to a journal of good reputation and wait for its acceptance. Don't worry !!

Hi, Dear Researcher, it's very interesting question, please check the following links they may answer your concerning question:

Dear Researchers,

Can you please evaluate (by voting) the equality of question, to expand the Knowledge in this topic. Since it is an important topic and related to many researchers.

Dear Musab,

I agree with the answer of Dr. Aristidis Matsoukis.

Dear Musab,

The percentage of dishonest people is very few. In most cases we can discriminate between good and bad people. So do not show your MSS to those whom you suspect and always opt for standard journals. 

Best of luck.

About the  Committee on Publication Ethics what are the procedures that can be taken against the stolen data, manuscripts, .......... ect

Since COPE more specific to journals (Editors) and publishers. I will discover COPE more deeply. 

Dear, thank you for the invitation!

I think that making a first article, informing about the objectives of the publication / research, tends to demarcate territory, announcing to scientific communication about what is being researched / authorship.

greetings!

One can register the research before one sends it to publish.
