Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

This statement clarifies ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing an article in Journal of Management and Business Review (JMBR), including the authors, the editors, the peer-reviewers and the publisher Research Center and Case Clearing House (RC-CCH), Sekolah Tinggi Management PPM

Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication

The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed Journal of Management and Business Review (JMBR) is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the authors, the journal editors, the peer reviewers, the publisher and the society.  

Research Center and Case Clearing House, Sekolah Tinggi Management PPM as publisher of this Journal takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognize our ethical and other responsibilities.

The editors and reviewers evaluate manuscripts for intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

The editor, reviewers, and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial team, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used by any of the editorial board members and reviewers in their own research.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

The journal uses double-blind review process. The reviewers advise the editor-in-chief in making the editorial decision. The editor-in-chief communicates with authors, as required, and helps them in improving quality of their research paper.

Promptness

The journal editors are committed to provide timely review to the authors. If a reviewer does not submit his/her report in a timely manner, the paper is immediately sent to another qualified reviewer.

Confidentiality

Manuscript content is treated with at most confidentiality. The journal uses double blind process. Except for the editor-in-chief, the editors and reviewers cannot discuss paper with any other person, including the authors.

Standards of Objectivity

The editors and reviewers are required to evaluate papers based on the content. The review comment must be respectful of authors. The reviewers are required to justify their decision and recommendation.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had 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.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

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

Duties of Authors

Reporting standards

Authors should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work wherever possible. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention

Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review. They should be prepared to provide such data within reasonable time.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Papers found with such problems are automatically rejected and authors are so advised.

Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication

When a paper is submitted for possible publication, the submitting author makes a written statement that the paper has not been published not it is currently under publication with any other journal. Simultaneous submission is considered unethical and is therefore unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others is required. Authors must cite publications that have led to the authors’ current research.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the research reported in the manuscript. The corresponding author has a responsibility to keep co-authors posted with the review process. If accepted, all authors are required to give a signed statement that the research work is their original research work.

Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects

If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published works

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

 

Plagiarsm Policy

All work in the manuscript should be free of any plagiarism, falsification, fabrications, or omission of significant material. Every article submitted to the JMBR will be checked using Grammarly's and Turnitin plagiarism checker. Articles with a plagiarism result exceeding 20% will be rejected promptly. The author is able to resubmit the article after he/she revises his/her work significantly. The editors will only process the article reaching below the 20% similarity limit.

Authors are expected to explicitly cite others' work and ideas, even if the work or ideas are not quoted verbatim or paraphrased. This standard applies whether the previous work is published, unpublished, or electronically available. Failure to properly cite the work of others may constitute plagiarism. Plagiarism in all forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Redundancy (or "self-plagiarism") is an unacceptable publishing behavior. Redundancy can occur in at least two ways: (1) Authors recycle portions of their previous writings by using identical or nearly identical sentences or paragraphs from earlier writings in subsequent research papers, without quotation or acknowledgement; or (2) Authors create multiple papers that are slight variations on each other, which are submitted for publication in different journals but without acknowledgement of the other papers.

Authors can and often do develop different aspects of an argument in more than one manuscript. However, manuscripts that differ primarily in appearance, but are presented as separate and distinct research without acknowledging other related work, constitute attempts (whether unintentional or deliberate) to deceive reviewers and readers by overinflating the intellectual contribution of the manuscript. Since publication decisions are influenced by the novelty and innovativeness of manuscripts, such deception is inappropriate and unethical.
If exact sentences or paragraphs that appear in another work by the Author are included in the manuscript, the material must be put in quotation marks and appropriately cited.

The corresponding author has responsibility to ensure that:
1. The article is an original work and does not involve fraud, fabrication, or plagiarism.
2. The article has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. If accepted by the JMBR, the article will not be submitted for publication to any other journal.
3. The article contains no defamatory or unlawful statements and does not contain any materials that infringe upon individual privacy, proprietary rights, or any statutory copyright.
4. They have written permission from owners for any excerpts from copyrighted works that are included and have credited the sources from where they were obtained.
5. All authors are aware of and agree to the terms of this publishing agreement.
6. Authors should check their manuscripts for possible breaches of copyright law (e.g., where permissions are needed for quotations, artwork or tables taken from other publications) and secure the necessary permissions before submission (Copyright Law).

 

 

Confidentiality

Editors of the JMBR treat all submitted manuscripts and communication with authors and reviewers as confidential. It is expected that authors will also treat communication with the journal as confidential. Correspondence with the journal, reviewers' reports, and other confidential material must not be posted on any website or otherwise publicized without prior permission from the editors, regardless whether the submission is published or not.

Declaration of Competing Interest

DECLARATION OF COMPETING INTERESTS FOR AUTHORS

Declare conflicts of interest or state. Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results. In the interests of transparency and to help readers form their own judgments of potential bias, Journal of Managament and Business Review (JMBR) requires reviewers and authors to declare any competing financial and/or non-financial interests in relation to the work described. The corresponding author is responsible for submitting a competing interests statement on behalf of all authors of the paper.

Definition

For the purposes of this policy, competing interests are defined as financial and non-financial interests that could directly undermine, or be perceived to undermine, the objectivity, integrity, and value of a publication through a potential influence on the judgments and actions of authors with regard to objective data presentation, analysis, and interpretation.

Financial competing interests

Financial competing interests include (but are not limited to):

  1. Receiving reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that may in any way gain or loses financially from the publication of the article, either now or in the future.
  2. Holding stocks or shares in an organization that may in any way gain or loses financially from the publication of the article, either now or in the future.
  3. Holding, or currently applying for, patents relating to the manuscript's content.
  4. Receiving reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that holds or has applied for patents relating to the manuscript's content.

Non-financial competing interests

Non-financial competing interests include (but are not limited to) political, personal, religious, ideological, academic, and intellectual competing interests.

Example of competing interest statements:

"I/We have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper."

“The authors declare no conflict of interest.”


DECLARATION OF COMPETING INTERESTS FOR REVIEWERS

We ask that all reviewers disclose both 'Non-Financial' and 'Financial' Competing Interests that might lead a reasonable person to question whether your interpretation of the data or of the article may have been influenced by your personal or financial relationship with other people or organizations. For every peer review report submission, you must state whether you have any competing interests, and if you disclose that you do have some, you must provide details.

All competing interests that are declared will be displayed against your peer review report. If no competing interests are provided, the line: ‘No competing interests were disclosed’ will be added to your report. If you are unsure whether you have a competing interest, please contact our editorial office at jmbrppm@gmail.com 

When deciding if you have a competing interest, it might be helpful to consider the following examples, but note that this is not an exhaustive list:

Financial competing interests

  • In the past five years have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that may in any way gain or loses financially from the online listing of this work, either now or in the future? Is such an organization financing the work presented in this article or its presentation at a conference? If so, please specify. 
  • Do you hold any stocks or shares in an organization that may in any way gain or loses financially from the online listing of this work, either now or in the future? If so, please specify.
  • Do you hold or are you currently applying for any patents relating to the content of the work? Have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that holds or has applied for patents relating to the content of the work? If so, please specify.
  • Do you have any other financial competing interests? If so, please specify.

Non-financial competing interests

  • Are you a current collaborator with any of the authors of the paper in question, or have you been in the past 3 years?
  • Have you co-authored a paper with any of the authors of the paper in question in the past 3 years?
  • Are there any other non-financial competing interests (political, personal, religious, ideological, academic, intellectual, commercial or any other) to declare in relation to your assessment of this work? If so, please specify.

Example of competing interest statements:

"No competing interests were disclosed"

 

Reference Management

All the served data or quotes in the article taken from the other author's articles should attach the reference sources. The references should use a reference application management such as Mendeley, End Note, or Zotero. The writing format used in Journal of Management and Business Review follows the format applied by APA 7th Edition (American Psychological Association).

 

Allegation of Research Misconduct

JMBR takes allegations of publication ethics violations and research misconduct seriously. Such violations may include data fabrication or falsification, plagiarism, citation manipulation, duplicate or redundant publication, omission of significant information, and other breaches of research ethics.

The editors will assess each allegation to determine whether the available information warrants further investigation. Where appropriate, they may request explanations and supporting evidence from the authors concerned, consult relevant reviewers or experts, and contact the institution where the research was conducted. Those involved will have an opportunity to respond. Information related to the manuscript and the investigation will be handled confidentially, as appropriate to the case.

If an allegation concerns a published article, JMBR will assess its effect on the reliability and integrity of the scholarly record. Depending on the findings, the journal may issue a correction, an expression of concern, or a retraction. JMBR may coordinate with the relevant institution if further investigation is needed. Cases are handled in accordance with JMBR publication ethics policies and the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Article Retraction

JMBR may consider retracting an article when there is strong evidence that its findings or conclusions are unreliable because of a major error or misconduct, including data fabrication or falsification, plagiarism, duplicate publication without adequate disclosure, unethical research, or another serious breach.

If only part of an article is affected and its main findings remain reliable, JMBR may publish a correction instead of retracting the article. If the available evidence is insufficient to determine the article’s reliability while an investigation is ongoing, the journal may issue an expression of concern.

A retraction notice will clearly identify the affected article and explain the reasons for retraction in an objective and factual manner. The notice will be linked to the article. Editors make decisions about corrections or retractions based on the available evidence and, where relevant, the findings of the institution’s investigation.

 

Conflict of Interest and Competing Interest

The Journal of Management and Business Review (JMBR) is committed to transparency, objectivity, and integrity throughout the publication process. A conflict of interest, also known as a competing interest, exists when financial or non-financial interests could influence—or could reasonably be perceived to influence—the conduct, reporting, review, or editorial evaluation of a manuscript.

The existence of a competing interest does not necessarily indicate wrongdoing. However, relevant interests must be disclosed so that editors, reviewers, and readers can assess any potential influence.

Authors

All authors must disclose any financial or non-financial competing interests related to their manuscript. Disclosures should include interests that could influence, or be perceived to influence, the research, its findings, or their interpretation.

Competing interests may include:

  • Financial interests, such as funding, fees, honoraria, salary, consultancy, share ownership, or patents related to the manuscript.
  • Professional or institutional interests, such as employment, collaboration, or organizational relationships relevant to the work.
  • Personal interests, such as family or close personal relationships that could affect the work or its evaluation.
  • Academic or intellectual interests, such as supervisory relationships, academic competition, or relevant intellectual property.

The corresponding author is responsible for submitting a competing interest statement on behalf of all authors. If no competing interests exist, the manuscript should include the statement: “The authors declare no competing interests.”

Competing interest and funding statements serve different purposes. Authors should disclose any funding separately, in accordance with the journal’s submission requirements.

Reviewers

Reviewers must disclose any financial or non-financial competing interest that could affect, or be perceived to affect, their assessment of a manuscript. Relevant interests may include current or recent collaboration with an author, professional or institutional relationships, academic competition, or personal or financial connections.

Reviewers should decline an invitation or inform the editor if a competing interest could compromise their impartiality. They must keep manuscript information confidential and must not use unpublished information obtained through peer review for personal or third-party benefit. Any competing interests disclosed by reviewers will be handled in accordance with the journal’s review procedures.

Editors and Editorial Board Members

Editors and editorial board members must disclose any competing interest related to a manuscript they are handling. An editor with a competing interest must not participate in the assessment, peer review, or decision-making for that manuscript. The manuscript should be assigned to another editor without the relevant conflict.

Editorial decisions must be based on the manuscript’s academic quality, originality, relevance to the journal’s scope, ethical standards, and peer-review outcomes. Decisions must not be influenced by personal relationships, institutional interests, commercial considerations, or other competing interests.

JMBR may request further information or clarification when a disclosure is unclear or incomplete. The journal will handle disclosures confidentially as appropriate and take steps to protect the fairness and integrity of the publication process.

 

Authorship Criteria

The Journal of Management and Business Review (JMBR) expects authorship to reflect significant contributions to the research reported in the manuscript. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the work and for ensuring that authorship information is complete and accurate.

1. Authorship Eligibility

Individuals listed as authors should have made a significant contribution to the research reported in the manuscript. Such contributions may include:

  3. Reviewing and approving the final version of the manuscript submitted to JMBR.
  4. Accepting responsibility for the integrity of their contributions and cooperating in resolving questions about the accuracy or integrity of the work.

Individuals who have made significant contributions to the research should be given the opportunity to participate in manuscript preparation or critical review and to approve the final version.

2. Contributions That Do Not Qualify for Authorship

Contributions that do not, by themselves, establish authorship may include providing funding, general supervision, administrative assistance, technical support, language editing, or proofreading.

Individuals whose contributions do not meet the authorship criteria should be acknowledged appropriately in the manuscript, with their consent. Their contributions should be described accurately.

3. Corresponding Author Responsibilities

The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with the JMBR editorial office during submission and peer review and for keeping co-authors informed about the review process and significant editorial decisions.

The corresponding author should ensure that:

  • All listed authors have made significant contributions to the research.
  • All authors have reviewed and approved the submitted manuscript and agreed to its submission to JMBR.
  • Author names, affiliations, and author order are accurate and agreed upon.
  • All authors are kept informed about the submission and review process.
  • Required declarations, disclosures, and supporting documents are provided.
  • No individual is listed as an author without their knowledge and consent.

For accepted manuscripts, all authors are required to provide a signed statement confirming that the research is their original work, in accordance with JMBR’s publication ethics policy.

4. Order of Authors

The authors should determine the order of authors collectively, based on their respective contributions and mutual agreement. All authors should agree to the final author list and its order before submission.

Any disagreement about authorship or author order should first be addressed among the authors. If they cannot resolve the disagreement, they may seek assistance from their affiliated institutions.

5. Changes in Authorship

A request to add, remove, or reorder authors after submission should be sent to the editorial office with an explanation and written agreement from all affected authors, including any author being added or removed.

The editorial team may assess the request and ask for further information before making a decision. Changes should not be made without appropriate justification and the consent of the affected authors. Requests made after acceptance or publication will be considered in accordance with the journal’s editorial policies and applicable publication ethics principles.

6. Unethical Authorship Practices

JMBR expects authors to avoid unethical authorship practices, including:

  • Gift or guest authorship: listing individuals who have not made a significant contribution to the research.
  • Ghost authorship: omitting individuals who made significant contributions without appropriate justification.
  • Honorary authorship: granting authorship solely because of academic title, position, seniority, funding, or supervisory authority.
  • Unauthorized authorship changes: changing the author list or author order without appropriate justification and consent.
  • Misrepresentation of contributions: providing false or misleading information about individual contributions.

If concerns arise, the editorial team may request clarification or supporting information and take appropriate editorial action in accordance with the journal’s publication ethics policies.

7. Use of Artificial Intelligence in Authorship

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors because they cannot take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of scholarly work.

Authors remain responsible for all content in their manuscript, including content generated or assisted by AI tools. Any use of AI should comply with the journal’s applicable policies and disclosure requirements.

8. Authorship Disputes and Editorial Action

Authors are expected to address authorship disputes collaboratively and in good faith. When concerns arise, the editorial team may request explanations, written confirmations, or other relevant documentation.

The journal may suspend editorial processing while an authorship dispute is being addressed. If the authors cannot reach an agreement, the matter may be referred to their affiliated institution or research organization for investigation. JMBR may take appropriate editorial action if authorship requirements are not met or authorship information is found to be misleading.

Commitment to Responsible Authorship

All authors submitting manuscripts to JMBR are expected to uphold transparency, fairness, accountability, and academic integrity. Accurate attribution of contributions supports trust in scholarly communication and the credibility of published research.

 

Correction and Retraction

The Journal of Management and Business Review (JMBR) is committed to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the scholarly record. Retractions, withdrawals, and corrections are handled transparently and in accordance with the journal’s publication ethics policies and applicable guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Article Retraction

A published article may be retracted when reliable evidence shows that its findings or conclusions are substantially unreliable, or when a serious breach of publication ethics has occurred. Grounds for retraction may include, but are not limited to:

  1. Fabrication, falsification, or manipulation of data, or a major error that invalidates the findings.
  2. Duplicate or redundant publication without appropriate disclosure or justification.
  3. Proven plagiarism or unauthorized use of another party’s work or material.
  4. Serious violations of research ethics.
  5. Other serious publication ethics violations that undermine the reliability or integrity of the article.

A concern or request for retraction may be raised by authors, editors, reviewers, readers, institutions, or other relevant parties. The Editor-in-Chief will assess the information, seek clarification from the authors, and may consult reviewers, relevant experts, or the authors’ institution. The decision will be based on the available evidence.

If an article is retracted, JMBR will publish a clearly identified retraction notice stating the reason for the action. The notice will be linked to the article. The article will remain available in the journal archive with a clear retraction status to preserve the publication record and inform readers.

Manuscript Withdrawal

Authors may request withdrawal of a manuscript while it is under editorial processing, peer review, or revision, provided it has not been formally published. The request must be submitted in writing to the editorial office, include the reason for withdrawal, and confirm the agreement of all listed authors.

A published article cannot be withdrawn through the manuscript withdrawal process. Concerns about a published article will be assessed under the retraction or correction procedures described in this policy.

Article Correction

A correction may be issued when an error in a published article requires amendment but does not invalidate the overall findings or conclusions. Corrections may concern factual information, data presentation, author details, affiliations, or other errors that could affect readers’ understanding of the article.

Corrections may take the following forms:

  1. Erratum: correction of an error introduced during the journal’s production or publication process.
  2. Corrigendum: correction of an error originating from the authors.
  3. Addendum: additional information from the authors that clarifies or supplements the published article.

The Editor-in-Chief will decide whether a correction is appropriate and may consult the authors, reviewers, editorial board members, or relevant experts. Any published correction will clearly identify the article and describe the change.

Through this policy, JMBR aims to handle article withdrawals, corrections, and retractions consistently and transparently, while protecting the integrity of the scholarly record.
