Publication Ethic Statement
Publication Ethics Statement
Jurnal Riset Bisnis dan Manajemen (JRBM) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and preventing publication malpractice. This publication ethics statement applies to all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher. JRBM adheres to the principles and best practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Publication Ethics Principles
1. Ethical Research Conduct
All research submitted to JRBM must be conducted ethically, responsibly, and professionally. Authors are responsible for ensuring that their research complies with applicable laws, institutional regulations, and ethical standards. Research involving human participants, personal data, or sensitive information must obtain approval from the relevant ethics committee or institutional review board where applicable.
2. Research Integrity and Accuracy
Authors must present research findings truthfully, accurately, and objectively. Fabrication, falsification, selective reporting, image manipulation, or inappropriate data manipulation are strictly prohibited. Authors should maintain original research data and be prepared to provide supporting data upon reasonable request by the editorial office.
3. Transparency and Reproducibility
Authors should describe research methods, data collection procedures, analytical techniques, and research instruments clearly and sufficiently to enable replication or verification by other researchers. Any limitations of the study should also be transparently disclosed.
4. Originality and Plagiarism
Submitted manuscripts must be original works that have not been published previously and are not under consideration by another journal. All manuscripts will be screened using plagiarism detection software. Any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, salami publication, text recycling without proper citation, or unauthorized use of another person's work, constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
5. Data Availability and Research Documentation
Authors should retain original data, research documentation, and supporting materials for an appropriate period after publication. When possible, authors are encouraged to make research data available through trusted repositories or upon reasonable request to promote transparency and reproducibility.
6. Authorship and Contributorship
Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made substantial intellectual contributions to the conception or design of the work; acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data; drafting or critically revising the manuscript; and approval of the final version. All authors share collective responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the published work. Guest authorship, honorary authorship, and ghost authorship are considered unethical.
7. Corresponding Author Responsibilities
The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all eligible co-authors have reviewed and approved the manuscript before submission, agreed to its submission to JRBM, and approved any revisions during the peer-review process.
8. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
Authors should not submit the same manuscript simultaneously to more than one journal. Manuscripts that substantially overlap with previously published works must be clearly identified, properly cited, and accompanied by an explanation of the novel contribution.
9. Citation Integrity
Authors should acknowledge the work of others appropriately through accurate citation and referencing. Citations should be relevant to the research and should not be manipulated solely to increase citation metrics. Excessive self-citation or citation stacking is discouraged.
10. Disclosure of Funding and Conflicts of Interest
Authors must disclose all financial support, research funding, institutional sponsorship, and any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the interpretation or presentation of the research findings. If no conflicts of interest exist, authors should explicitly state that no competing interests are declared.
11. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, including generative AI, may assist authors in language editing, grammar improvement, or formatting. However, AI tools must not be listed as authors because they cannot assume responsibility for the integrity, originality, or accountability of the work. Authors remain fully responsible for all content submitted. Any substantial use of AI in manuscript preparation should be transparently disclosed in the manuscript.
12. Confidentiality
Authors should respect the confidentiality of participants, organizations, and institutions involved in the research. Personally identifiable information should not be disclosed without explicit permission or ethical justification.
13. Errors and Corrections
If authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work, they have an obligation to promptly notify the editorial office and cooperate in issuing corrections, errata, expressions of concern, or retractions when necessary.
14. Ethical Use of Copyrighted Materials
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted materials, including figures, tables, photographs, questionnaires, or other content owned by third parties. Proper acknowledgment must be provided where required.
15. Editorial Decision and Publication Responsibility
Publication decisions are based solely on the scientific merit, originality, methodological rigor, significance, and relevance of the manuscript to the scope of JRBM. Editorial decisions are free from discrimination based on nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion, political beliefs, institutional affiliation, or other personal characteristics.
16. Commitment to Publication Ethics
JRBM reserves the right to reject, withdraw, retract, or correct published articles if evidence of unethical conduct, plagiarism, research misconduct, duplicate publication, fabricated data, undisclosed conflicts of interest, or other serious ethical violations is identified. Allegations of publication misconduct will be handled in accordance with the COPE Core Practices and COPE Flowcharts.
Jurnal Riset Bisnis dan Manajemen is committed to promoting integrity, transparency, accountability, fairness, and excellence in scholarly publishing. All authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers are expected to uphold these ethical principles throughout the publication process.
