The journal adheres strictly to internationally recognized guidelines from Elsevier, COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), Scopus, and Web of Science to ensure that all manuscripts are evaluated fairly, rigorously, and impartially. Ethical conduct in publishing is essential not only to maintain the credibility of the journal but also to foster trust within the global academic community.

The journal implements a Double-Blind Peer Review process, wherein the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential. This system ensures unbiased assessment of submissions based solely on scientific merit, originality, methodological rigor, and contribution to the field of accounting. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, research impact, and ethical standards, and they are required to provide detailed, constructive, and actionable feedback to enhance the quality of manuscripts.

Authors submitting to AAI are required to guarantee the originality of their work. Manuscripts must not have been published elsewhere, and proper acknowledgment of prior work and citations is mandatory. Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, is strictly prohibited. All submissions are screened using advanced plagiarism detection software to ensure adherence to ethical standards.

Conflicts of interest must be disclosed by authors, reviewers, and editors. Any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could influence the evaluation or interpretation of the research must be transparently declared. Maintaining objectivity and impartiality throughout the peer review and editorial process is a cornerstone of AAI’s ethical framework.

Data integrity is fundamental. Authors are expected to provide accurate, complete, and reproducible data, with clear descriptions of methods, experimental design, and statistical analyses. Any fabrication, falsification, or selective reporting of results constitutes a serious ethical violation. Research involving human participants or animals must comply with applicable ethical regulations and receive approval from relevant institutional review boards or ethics committees.

AAI is committed to post-publication integrity. If errors, inaccuracies, or ethical violations are discovered after publication, the journal will issue corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern as appropriate, ensuring full transparency and accountability. Editorial independence is strictly maintained, with decisions based solely on academic merit, relevance, and contribution to the field, free from external commercial pressures or personal biases.

Open access is a core principle of AAI, facilitating global dissemination of knowledge without barriers. The journal promotes accessibility, allowing researchers, practitioners, and policymakers worldwide to engage with the published work. Furthermore, AAI embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring fair treatment of all authors and reviewers regardless of gender, nationality, ethnicity, or institutional affiliation.

Continuous improvement in publication ethics and practices is a priority. The editorial team regularly reviews policies to align with evolving international standards, emerging best practices, and feedback from the academic community. By maintaining these high ethical standards, AAI fosters a trustworthy and reputable platform for advancing accounting research and contributing to scholarly excellence on a global scale.
