2. Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

The Global Journal of Business Management is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in publishing. We adhere to international guidelines and best practices to prevent research misconduct. This includes strict measures to combat plagiarism, falsification of data, duplicate publication, and unethical authorship practices. If any unethical behavior is suspected, it will be thoroughly investigated according to established procedures. Authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to follow these ethical standards to preserve the integrity of the publication process.

3. COPE Recommendation for Plagiarism

We take plagiarism very seriously. The Global Journal of Business Management follows the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) for handling plagiarism cases. Manuscripts submitted to the journal are screened for plagiarism using advanced software tools. If any instance of plagiarism is detected, the manuscript will be rejected, and the authors may be banned from submitting to the journal in the future. The journal aims to promote originality and integrity in research and publication and encourages authors to properly cite sources and give appropriate credit for prior work.

4. Conflict of Interest and Financial Disclosures (Specific to Editors)

Editors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may influence their editorial decisions. These could include financial relationships with authors, competing interests, or affiliations with organizations whose interests might bias their judgment. Editors should also recuse themselves from handling manuscripts where such conflicts exist. All financial disclosures from authors and editors will be made transparent to ensure that editorial decisions remain unbiased and impartial. These disclosures will be handled in accordance with ethical guidelines set forth by the journal and relevant academic organizations.

5. Peer Review Process

The Global Journal of Business Management employs a double-blind peer review process to ensure fairness and minimize bias. This means that both the authors and the reviewers are anonymized to prevent any conflicts of interest. Manuscripts are typically reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field, who evaluate the quality, originality, and significance of the research. Reviewers are expected to provide constructive feedback, and authors are given the opportunity to address any comments and suggestions before the final decision is made. The peer review process is designed to uphold the journal's high academic standards and provide authors with valuable feedback to improve their work.

6. Editorial Process

The editorial process begins when a manuscript is submitted through the journal’s online submission system. Once submitted, the manuscript undergoes an initial screening by the editorial office to ensure it meets the journal’s scope and formatting requirements. If the manuscript passes the initial screening, it is then sent to reviewers who evaluate its quality, novelty, and contribution to the field. Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts based on reviewer feedback. After revisions are made, the manuscript is re-evaluated by the reviewers, and a final decision is made. The editorial team aims to provide authors with feedback and a decision within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Editorial Policies

The editorial policies of the Global Journal of Business Management are designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and high-quality scholarly communication. Our editorial board is responsible for overseeing the peer review process and making final publication decisions based on the merit of the submitted manuscript. The editor-in-chief is responsible for ensuring the journal adheres to its ethical standards and for addressing any conflicts or disputes in the publication process. We uphold a transparent editorial process that encourages a fair, objective, and timely decision-making process, grounded in academic rigor.

8. COPE Recommendation for Conflict of Interest (Specific to Editors)

Editors are required to follow the COPE guidelines for managing conflicts of interest. This includes disclosing any personal, financial, or professional relationships that may bias their editorial decisions. If an editor has a conflict of interest with a manuscript under review, they must recuse themselves from handling the manuscript. The editorial board will handle any potential conflicts of interest and ensure that the review process remains impartial and fair. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of editorial integrity and transparency.
