Publication Ethics

The Jurnal Manajemen dan Inovasi Kewirausahaan (JMIK) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and professionalism in the publication process. We adhere to ethical guidelines that promote transparency, accountability, and fairness. Our publication ethics are based on the guidelines provided by reputable bodies such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and we expect all parties involved in the publication process (authors, reviewers, and editors) to abide by these principles.

Duties of Authors:

  1. Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that the work submitted is original and has not been published or submitted elsewhere. Proper citation and acknowledgment of sources used in the research are required to avoid plagiarism.

  2. Authorship: All individuals who have made substantial contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the research should be listed as co-authors. Authors must ensure that all co-authors have agreed to the manuscript and its submission.

  3. Conflicts of Interest: Authors should disclose any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest that may influence their research or its interpretation. This includes funding sources, personal relationships, or any other circumstances that could lead to bias.

  4. Data Availability: Authors are required to provide access to data and materials used in the research, if requested, to ensure the reproducibility of the results and transparency in the research process.

  5. Retraction and Corrections: In cases where significant errors or inaccuracies are identified in the published work, authors are expected to take responsibility for correcting or retracting the article in a timely manner.

Duties of Reviewers:

  1. Confidentiality: Reviewers must treat all manuscripts and their contents as confidential. They should not disclose or discuss the manuscript with others unless authorized.

  2. Impartiality: Reviewers are expected to provide objective and unbiased assessments of the manuscripts. Reviews should be based solely on the content, quality, and relevance of the work, and not influenced by personal or professional relationships.

  3. Constructive Feedback: Reviewers should provide constructive and clear feedback that will assist authors in improving the quality of their work. Criticism should be aimed at the manuscript's content, rather than the author(s).

  4. Conflicts of Interest: Reviewers must disclose any conflicts of interest that may affect their ability to provide an unbiased review. If a conflict exists, the reviewer should recuse themselves from reviewing the manuscript.

Duties of Editors:

  1. Editorial Independence: Editors are responsible for making decisions regarding the publication of manuscripts based on their scientific merit, relevance, and contribution to the field, without any influence from external factors.

  2. Fairness: Editors must treat all submitted manuscripts fairly, regardless of the author's gender, race, nationality, or institutional affiliation. Manuscripts should be evaluated based on their quality and contribution to the field.

  3. Transparency and Integrity: Editors must ensure that the publication process is transparent and that the research published is conducted with integrity. They should act on any unethical behavior reported by authors, reviewers, or other parties, and take appropriate action, including retracting or correcting articles when necessary.

  4. Timeliness: Editors should ensure that the review and publication process is conducted in a timely manner. They should strive to provide authors with prompt and constructive feedback and facilitate the publication of accepted manuscripts without unnecessary delays.
