Publication Ethics

Journal of Economics, Management, and Business Research (JEMBR) is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all necessary measures to prevent publication malpractice. This journal adheres to the ethical guidelines and best practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Duties of Authors

Authors are required to submit original, unpublished work that is not under consideration by any other journal. All sources must be properly cited, and any form of plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, or redundant publication is strictly prohibited. Authors must ensure the accuracy of data and disclose any potential conflicts of interest related to their work.

Duties of Editors

Editors are responsible for making publication decisions based on the manuscript’s academic quality, originality, relevance to the journal’s scope, and clarity. Editors must ensure a fair, objective, and confidential peer-review process and avoid conflicts of interest in handling manuscripts. Editorial decisions are made independently and are not influenced by commercial or institutional considerations.

Duties of Reviewers

Reviewers assist editors by providing objective, constructive, and timely evaluations of submitted manuscripts. Reviewers must treat all manuscripts as confidential documents, disclose any conflicts of interest, and refrain from using unpublished materials for personal advantage.

Peer Review Process

JEMBR applies a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed to ensure impartial evaluation. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise.

Ethical Oversight

Any ethical issues related to research conduct, data integrity, or authorship must be clearly disclosed by the authors. JEMBR reserves the right to take appropriate actions in cases of ethical misconduct, including manuscript rejection, retraction, or correction, in accordance with COPE procedures.

POLICY ON THE USE OF GENERATIF AI IN PUBLICATIONS

Journal of Economics, Management, and Business Research adheres to global publication ethics standards, including policies governing the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in scholarly writing.

1. Duties of Authors

Authorship:
Generative AI tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors, as AI systems cannot assume responsibility for the integrity, accountability, and validity of scholarly work.

Disclosure:
Authors are required to disclose the use of generative AI during the manuscript preparation process through a written statement at the time of submission. This statement must clearly specify the name of the AI tool used and the purpose of its use.

Content Responsibility:
Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the manuscript. All AI-generated content must be carefully reviewed and verified by the authors, including the accuracy of references and data, to prevent fabrication, misinformation, or bias.

Images and Illustrations:
The use of generative AI to create or modify images or illustrations in manuscripts is not permitted, unless such use constitutes an essential part of the primary research methodology and is transparently described in the Methods section.

2. Duties of Editors and Reviewers

Confidentiality:
Editors and reviewers are strictly prohibited from uploading manuscripts under review to any generative AI system for any purpose. This prohibition is intended to protect author confidentiality and intellectual property rights.

Human Evaluation:
Editorial decisions and assessments of a manuscript’s scientific quality must be based on human critical judgment and must not be replaced or determined by automated systems or AI technologies.

3. Exceptions

This policy does not cover the use of basic tools for grammar checking, spelling correction, or reference management, provided that such tools do not independently generate new ideas, interpretations, or substantive content.
