Commitment to integrity, transparency, and malpractice prevention.

⚖️

Core Principles

Journal Economic Business Innovation (JEBI) is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in academic publishing. This policy aligns with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and follows international best practices to ensure transparency, integrity, and quality in research dissemination.

"All parties involved in the publication process—authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher—must adhere to these ethical standards to uphold the credibility of scientific work."

Duties of Authors

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure manuscripts are original and unpublished. JEBI employs Turnitin detection software. The similarity index + AI Score must not exceed 12%. Citations must follow APA 7th Edition style.

Authorship Criteria

Authorship must be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All authors must approve the final version. Ghostwriting and guest authorship are strictly prohibited.

Data Integrity & Ethics

Data fabrication or falsification is strictly forbidden. For research involving human subjects, ethical approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) is mandatory. Authors must provide raw data if requested during the review process.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose 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 must be disclosed.

Duties of Editors

Fair Play: Decisions are based solely on academic merit (importance, originality, validity, clarity) without discrimination regarding race, gender, religious belief, or institutional affiliation.
Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and potential reviewers.
Conflict of Interest: Editors must recuse themselves from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution: Assist the editor in making editorial decisions and helping the author improve the paper through constructive feedback.
Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Promptness: Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor.
