Publication Ethics

This statement outlines the expected standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the publication process of Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis Era Digital (JUMABEDI), including authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher.

The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It reflects the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing.

The journal and its publisher take their responsibilities for maintaining ethical standards throughout all stages of publication seriously. Advertising, reprint, or other commercial revenue must not influence editorial decisions.

1. General Policies & Editorial Decisions

Publication Decisions

The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published based on the reviewers' recommendations, while complying with applicable legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Fair Play / Non-Discrimination

Editors and reviewers evaluate manuscripts purely for their intellectual content, without discrimination regarding race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff must not disclose information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate and in accordance with the journal's peer-review policy.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's or reviewer's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors must disclose potential conflicts of interest that could compromise their impartiality.

2. Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists the Editor-in-Chief in making editorial decisions and helps authors improve the quality of their manuscripts through constructive scientific evaluation and feedback.

Promptness

Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to evaluate the research reported in a manuscript or recognizes that a timely review will be impossible should promptly notify the Editor and withdraw from the review process.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of authors is inappropriate. Reviewers must express their assessments clearly and provide constructive arguments supported by relevant scientific considerations.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published research that has not been cited by the authors and report any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript and other published works.

Confidentiality & Conflicts of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and must not be used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not evaluate manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, financial, or other relationships with the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the research. Any disclosure of reviewer identity or review reports must follow the journal's established Open Peer Review policy.

3. Duties of Authors

Reporting Standards

Authors of original research must present an accurate account of the work performed and provide an objective discussion of its significance. Research findings and supporting data must be reported honestly and clearly.

Data Access and Retention

Authors may be requested to provide raw research data for editorial evaluation and should be prepared to make relevant data publicly available when appropriate, subject to ethical, legal, and confidentiality requirements.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that their manuscripts represent original scholarly work. When using the ideas, findings, or words of others, appropriate citations and acknowledgments must be provided to avoid plagiarism.

Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication

Authors must not submit or publish manuscripts describing substantially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication simultaneously. Duplicate or redundant publication is considered unethical publishing behavior.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be provided. Authors should cite relevant publications that have influenced the theoretical framework, methodology, findings, or interpretation of their research.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, analysis, or interpretation of the reported study. All listed authors must approve the final manuscript and its submission.

Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects

If the research involves potentially hazardous materials, procedures, or equipment, authors must clearly identify the associated risks. Research involving human participants or animals must comply with applicable ethical standards and approval requirements.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose financial or other substantial conflicts of interest that could influence the research findings or their interpretation. Relevant sources of research funding should also be acknowledged.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they must promptly notify the journal Editor or publisher and cooperate in correcting or retracting the article when necessary.
