Publication Ethics

The Indonesian Journal of Management and Organizational Innovation (IJMOI) is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all necessary measures to prevent any publication malpractices. Our ethical statements are strictly based on the guidelines and best practices set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

All parties involved in the publishing process—Authors, Editors, Peer Reviewers, and the Publisher—must fully agree upon and comply with the following standards of expected ethical behavior.

1. Duties of Authors

• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works. If the authors have used the work and/or words of others, this must be appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism in all its forms (including self-plagiarism) constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is strictly unacceptable.
• Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently. Submitting the same paper to multiple journals simultaneously constitutes unethical publishing behavior.
• Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be strictly limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. The corresponding author must ensure all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper.
• Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data if practicable.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their research.

2. Duties of Peer Reviewers

• Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editors in making editorial decisions, and through the editorial communications with the author, may also assist the author in improving the paper.
• Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as strictly confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the chief editor.
• Standards of Objectivity: Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with valid supporting arguments.
• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers must not consider evaluating manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors or institutions connected to the papers.

3. Duties of Editors

• Publication Decisions: The editors of IJMOI are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published based on the validation of the work and its importance to researchers and readers. The editors are guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
• Fair Play: An editor evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
• Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher.
• Handling of Unethical Publishing Behavior: In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism, the publisher, in close collaboration with the editors, will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation. This includes the prompt publication of an erratum, clarification, or, in severe cases, the retraction of the affected work.
