Publication Ethics
This statement was adapted from the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) GUIDELINES ON GOOD PUBLICATION PRACTICE. It covered the code of ethics for Editor in Chief, Editorial Board members, Managing Editor, Section Editor, Reviewers, and Authors. This statement is based on: http://publicationethics.org
Ethical Guidelines in Journal Publications
Articles published in the Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis are an essential building block in developing a coherent and respected network of knowledge on education, and those are a direct reflection of the writer's and institutions' quality. It is, therefore, necessary to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing. The Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis guarantees that all procedures are directed merely to facilitate objective and intellectual treatment.
Before publishing both online and in print for the Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis, the Editor in Chief in charge of publishing asks for input from other editors and support for suggestions from reviewers. Further, the editors and reviewers evaluate manuscripts without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or specific political and group interest. It is also based on a series of journal publications, from submitting manuscripts, checking editors, checking reviewers, checking layouts, and checking plagiarism and copyright. In addition, the software is used to avoid plagiarism in the articles. This task is under the supervision of the Chief Editor and other Editors with authority, so the publication decision for the manuscript appears in the Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis.
Conflicts of Interest
Occur when outside issues affect, or are perceived to affect, the neutrality or objectivity of research. It may occur at any stage of the research cycle, for example, while the manuscript is being written or converting it to a published article. Conflicts of interest do not always stop work from being published or prevent someone from being involved in the review process. First, however, they must be declared. An explicit declaration of all possible conflicts – whether they had any influence or-not – allows others to make informed decisions about the work and its review process.
If conflicts of interest are identified after publication, the Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis will take action, such as publishing a corrigendum, or erratum, or even retraction a while to reassess the review process.
Some common conflicts include:
- Personal – a pre-existing relationship induces an individual to misbehave.
- Financial – an individual receives payment for the research subject or from affiliated organizations.
- Intellectual property – an individual puts undue emphasis on patents or trademarks that their organization owns or owns.
- Affiliations – an individual is employed by or is a member of an organization with interest in the research outcome.
- Ideology – an individual is influenced by beliefs or associations relating to the research subject.
The Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis should carefully consider how these and other similar topics may affect us and how they could affect others involved in handling the manuscript.
