Tasks and Ethics of Editors

Editors have the responsibility of selecting reviewers for received articles, then deciding which articles will be published after considering recommendations from reviewers.

Editors also have the responsibility of evaluating the contents of articles to prevent copyright violations, plagiarism, or conflicts that may occur upon publication of these articles. Editors have to uphold the equality of rights among all authors by limiting their consideration to the contents of articles as the only benchmark, and editors should not consider other benchmarks such as original institutions, ethnics, genders, religions, citizenships, or political tendencies of authors.

Editors do not have the right to disclose any information about articles received from authors to any other people who are not authors, reviewers, or persons-in-charge of those articles.  All contents of articles are the rights of authors and editors, so editors do not have the right to utilize the information that's published or unpublished for their interests without permission from the authors.  The secrecy of any information about authors or special ideas that are gained from peer review should be protected, and it is prohibited to be utilized for personal interests.

With full awareness, editors must determine their involvement in articles where they have a conflict of interest.  Editors have the responsibility of responding to any questions and complaints related to ethical issues regarding the texts that have been published, either from authors, the public, or other authors. Any act of unethical publication behavior must be viewed as a violation, even if it is found several years after publication. Editors also have the right to impose sanctions for ethical mistakes made by authors.

 

Tasks and Ethics of Reviewers

The main task of a reviewer is to assist the chief editor in making editorial decisions and in communicating with authors concerning scripts that will be published. The review was carried out by at least two reviewers in a blind review process. Reviewers review any selected articles based on the suitability of their expertise and experience in reviewing such articles. Reviewers have the right to refuse to review or review articles that are not suitable for their respective fields or where there is a conflict of interest with the article to be reviewed. All articles received by reviewers for review must be treated as confidential documents.

Reviews are carried out objectively and only cover the content of the article and are not included in the author's personal opinion. The reviewer's review of an article is stated clearly, accompanied by supporting arguments. Each assertion that a reported observation, derivation, or argument has been reported previously has to be accompanied by a relevant quote. Manuscript materials that are not published but disclosed in the submitted text are not permitted to be used by reviewers without the written approval of the authors. Special information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain.

 

Roles and Responsibilities of the Author

The author is obliged to follow the design of the article set by the publisher. Articles are original writings by one or several authors, and submission of articles is accompanied by a statement of originality (Statement of Originality). The article is a form of publication of the results of the study, and the author is obliged to state all the findings without making changes or removing data relating to the article. False statements or intentional actions related to the accuracy of the data used are unethical and unacceptable behavior. The author is prohibited from engaging in plagiarism in all its forms, and such behavior is considered unethical and intolerable in publishing. Articles must be accompanied by detailed references that allow peers and reviewers to access the data.

Authors are prohibited from writing two or more articles based on or explaining the same research results. Sending the same text to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior. Information obtained privately, such as in conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties, may not be used or reported without written permission from the source. Authors may not submit the same work to other journals at the same time, or if the manuscript is under review. Authors must wait for the decision to reject or formally request a withdrawal before submitting it to another journal. The number of authors in an article is not limited, but is based on the contributions of the authors involved in the article. Authorship must be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, implementation, or interpretation of the reported research, and have seen and approved the final version of the paper and approved the submission for publication. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their own published work, the author must immediately notify the editor in chief of Jurnal Studi Manajemen Bisnis and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
