Publication Ethics

International Academic Journal of Business Management (IAJBM) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct in publishing. All participants in the publication process, including authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers, are expected to uphold principles of honesty, transparency, and responsibility to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record.

Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original, accurately represent their research, and do not contain plagiarism, falsification, or fabrication of data. Proper citation of all sources and acknowledgment of contributions is mandatory. Authors should disclose any conflicts of interest and obtain all necessary ethical approvals for studies involving human or animal subjects.

Editors are responsible for overseeing a fair, unbiased, and confidential peer review process. They must make decisions based solely on the quality and relevance of the work, without personal or financial bias. Editors are also tasked with addressing ethical issues such as suspected misconduct or duplicate submissions promptly and fairly.

Reviewers are expected to provide timely, objective, and constructive evaluations while maintaining strict confidentiality. They should disclose any conflicts of interest and only review manuscripts within their expertise. Reviewers must avoid any use of privileged information for personal gain.

The journal strictly prohibits duplicate submissions and redundant publication. When ethical breaches are identified, the journal will take appropriate action, including correction, retraction, or notifying relevant institutions. Transparency and accountability are fundamental in all stages of publication to maintain trust within the academic community.

IAJBM encourages all stakeholders to adhere to these ethical standards to foster a culture of integrity, excellence, and respect in business management research.

Additionally, the journal supports the responsible use of emerging technologies and methodologies, including artificial intelligence, to enhance research quality while emphasizing human accountability and ethical judgment in all contributions. We promote ongoing education and awareness among authors, reviewers, and editors regarding evolving ethical standards and best practices in scholarly publishing.

Finally, the journal is committed to protecting the confidentiality and rights of all parties involved in the publication process. We ensure that all personal and sensitive information is handled securely, respecting privacy and data protection laws. By doing so, IAJBM upholds a transparent and trustworthy environment for advancing academic knowledge in business management.
