Responsibilities

Responsibilities of Authors

Authors must provide a clear and accurate account of their research, including a detailed discussion of its significance, and present underlying data truthfully. Review and professional publication articles must be both accurate and objective, while editorial content should be distinctly marked as such. The manuscript should include enough detail and references to allow replication of the work. Any misleading or knowingly false statements are considered unethical and unacceptable.

Authors are expected to retain raw data for a reasonable time after publication and to be prepared to provide public access to such data if feasible. Manuscripts must be original and not plagiarized. Plagiarism, including presenting another's work as one's own or failing to attribute sources, is considered unethical. Authors must also ensure that their manuscript is not under simultaneous consideration by another journal.

If significant errors or inaccuracies are discovered in published work, authors must notify the editor promptly and cooperate in correcting or retracting the paper.

Authors should only be listed in a manuscript if they meet the established criteria for authorship. During the submission process, all authors must be entered into the submission system, and no changes to the author list are permitted after the manuscript is accepted for publication.

Manuscripts must adhere to the ethical standards set by the journal and must not be previously published or under consideration elsewhere. Concurrent submission to multiple journals or duplicate publication is considered unethical and may lead to sanctions.

All manuscripts must be original work, free from plagiarism, and properly cite all sources. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited, and manuscripts suspected of plagiarism will be rejected.

Authors may be required to provide raw data for editorial review and should be prepared to make such data publicly accessible if possible.

Active participation in the peer review process is required, including responding promptly to editorial requests and addressing reviewers' comments thoroughly and in a timely manner.

Should authors identify significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work, they must promptly inform the editors and work with them to either correct the errors through an erratum or retract the article if necessary.

Responsibilities of Editors

The editor is responsible for determining which articles are published, guided by their academic quality and relevance to the journal’s scope. Decisions should align with journal policies and legal requirements. Manuscript evaluations must be based purely on intellectual content, without considering the authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or political views. Editors should avoid conflicts of interest, disclose any relevant competing interests, and take appropriate measures, such as issuing corrections or retractions, if conflicts emerge after publication.

The journal employs a double-blind peer review system. Editors must maintain the integrity of this process by keeping the identities of authors and reviewers confidential from each other.

Editors handle all manuscripts in confidence and must not share information about submitted manuscripts with any external parties.

Any privileged information or ideas gained through manuscript handling must remain confidential and not be used for personal gain.

Editors are also tasked with addressing ethical complaints regarding manuscripts or published articles. This includes contacting authors, liaising with relevant institutions, and taking necessary actions such as issuing corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern.

Editors should manage submissions efficiently, impartially, and transparently, ensuring that decisions are based solely on the quality of the work. They must disclose any potential conflicts of interest and withdraw from handling manuscripts where they have a personal or financial stake.

Responsibility of Reviewers

Reviewers are crucial in assisting editors with decision-making and aiding authors in refining their manuscripts. They should inform the editor promptly if they feel unqualified to review a manuscript or cannot complete the review within the given timeframe.

Manuscripts must be regarded as confidential. Reviewers should evaluate them impartially and avoid personal criticism. Their feedback should be clear, constructive, and should highlight any relevant work that the authors may have overlooked. Any significant similarities between the manuscript and other known works should be reported.

Reviewers should not use unpublished materials from the manuscript for their own research without permission. They must also avoid reviewing manuscripts if they have conflicts of interest related to the authors or their institutions.

By following these guidelines, we aim to maintain the integrity of scholarly publishing and support the advancement of knowledge in the field of management.
