Publication Ethics

In order to fulfill the highest ethical requirements for publishers, editors, writers, and reviewers, the International Journal of Management Knowledge Sharing (IJMaKS) modifies its Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). To raise the standard of research everywhere, publication ethics is a crucial topic that requires thorough explanation. The guidelines for editors, writers, and reviewers are covered in this section. The publisher also only endorses timely release and has no authority to tamper with the content's integrity.

Editor:

  1. Every piece that appears in the International Journal of Management Knowledge Sharing (IJMaKS) is the editor's responsibility. 
  2. The guidelines for writers, which we modified from the International Committee for International Journal of Management Knowledge Sharing (IJMaKS), should be followed by editors.
  3. When deciding on a choice, the editors can consult with other editors and reviewers.
  4. Editors are required to consider all manuscripts submitted to them for publication in an unbiased manner, evaluating each one for merit regardless of the writers' nationality, ethnicity, political views, race, religion, gender, seniority, or institutional affiliation. When there could be a conflict of interest, editors ought to turn down assignments.
  5. The editor must ensure that no information from the author or vice versa appears in the document delivered to the reviewer.
  6. Unless it contains objectionable or defamatory statements, the editor's judgment must be communicated to the author together with the reviewer's views.
  7. If it is reasonable and feasible for writers to request that their contributions not be reviewed, editors should comply.
  8. The confidentiality of the submitted manuscript is the responsibility of the editor and all employees.
  9. COPE flowcharts will serve as a guide for editors in the event of contested content or suspected errors.

 

Reviewer:

  1. Secrecy: Information about author-submitted manuscripts need to be considered sensitive information and kept private. They may only be seen or discussed with others with the editor's permission.
  2. Source Acknowledgment: It is the responsibility of reviewers to make sure that authors have credited all sources of data used in their work. Reviewers ought to locate pertinent published literature that the authors have not cited. The appropriate citation must be included with any claim that an observation, deduction, or argument has been previously published. If reviewers notice any irregularities, have doubts about the work's ethical aspects, notice a significant resemblance between the manuscript and a concurrent submission to another journal or an article that has been published, or suspect that misconduct may have occurred during the research or the writing and submission of the manuscript, they should report these concerns to the journal right away. Reviewers should, however, keep their concerns confidential and refrain from conducting their own personal investigation until the journal requests it.
  3. Standards of Objectivity: The evaluation of submitted publications must be conducted impartially, and reviewers should explicitly state their opinions and provide evidence for them. Unless there are compelling reasons not to, reviewers should adhere to the journals' guidelines regarding the precise feedback that is expected of them. In their assessments, the reviewers want to be helpful and offer suggestions that will enable the authors to make their manuscripts better. The reviewer ought to indicate which proposed follow-up studies are necessary to substantiate the assertions in the article under review and which will just improve or expand the work.
  4. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: Ideas or privileged information that has undergone peer review must be kept private and not used for one's own gain. Manuscripts containing conflicts of interest arising from competitive, cooperative, or other relationships or affiliations with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the papers should not be considered for consideration by reviewers. If they believe they know who the author(s) is(are) in a double-blind review, they should notify the journal if this information concerns any possible conflicts of interest.

 

Author:

  1. Authors must consent to the writing ethics statement of the International Journal of Management Knowledge Sharing (IJMaKS).
  2. The material has never been published before, and the author attests that they haven't given the article's rights to anybody else.
  3. The authors are responsible for verifying the legitimacy of their work and making sure that any citations to other authors' works follow the reference style.
  4. Plagiarism and auto-plagiarism are unacceptable practices for authors.
  5. As stated in the guidelines for authors of the International Journal of Management Knowledge Sharing (IJMaKS), authors must make sure that they adhere to the writing standards adopted from the journal.
  6. In the form of part descriptions, photos, or genealogy, the author does not offer any personal information that could identify the respondents. The author must have obtained written agreement and made it explicit when using respondents photos that are crucial and necessary for scientific research.
  7. If there is any suspicion that the data is fabricated or falsified, the author is required to give the editor access to the data and specifics of the work.
  8. On disclosure documents, journal authors should make clear any information that can give rise to a conflict of interest, including employment, research expenses, consultant fees, and intellectual property.
