Plagiarism Policy

The International Academic Journal of Business Management (IAJBM) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. Plagiarism in any form is strictly prohibited and considered a serious ethical violation.

• All submitted manuscripts must be original works authored by the contributors and must not contain copied material from other sources without proper citation and acknowledgment.

• Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submissions do not infringe on copyright or intellectual property rights.

• The journal employs advanced plagiarism detection tools to screen all manuscripts before peer review.

• If plagiarism or duplicate publication is detected at any stage, the manuscript will be rejected, and the authors may be banned from future submissions.

• In cases where plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal will take appropriate corrective actions, including issuing corrections, retractions, or notifications to the authors’ institutions.

• Proper citation and referencing of all sourced material, including text, data, figures, and ideas, is mandatory.

• Self-plagiarism or redundant publication, where authors recycle their previously published work without disclosure, is also prohibited.

• Editors and reviewers are responsible for alerting the journal to any suspected plagiarism during the review process.

• The journal upholds transparency and fairness in handling all plagiarism-related cases according to established ethical guidelines.

• Authors are encouraged to use plagiarism checking tools before submission to ensure originality and avoid ethical breaches.

IAJBM’s strict anti-plagiarism stance protects the integrity of scholarly publishing and fosters trust within the academic community.
