Publications Ethics And Misconduct

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

The Journal of Islamic Economics and Business Perspectives (JIEBP) is a peer-reviewed journal committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity. CJIEB fully adheres to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Core Practices. This statement outlines the ethical expectations for all parties involved: authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher.

1. Duties of Editors

  • • Publication Decisions: Editors decide which manuscripts to publish based on academic merit, originality, and relevance, free from commercial or personal influence.
  • • Fair Play: Evaluation is based solely on intellectual content without discrimination regarding race, gender, religion, or nationality.
  • • Confidentiality: Editorial staff must not disclose information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than those involved in the publishing process.
  • • Conflicts of Interest: Editors will not use unpublished materials from submitted manuscripts for their own research without consent.

2. Duties of Reviewers

  • • Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists editors in decision-making and helps authors improve their work.
  • • Standards of Objectivity: Reviews must be conducted objectively with supporting arguments and constructive feedback.
  • • Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should identify uncited relevant work and alert editors to any substantial overlaps.
  • • Promptness: Reviewers who feel unqualified or unable to provide a timely review must notify the editor immediately.

3. Duties of Authors

  • • Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure their work is entirely original. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable.
  • • Multiple Submission: Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is considered malpractice.
  • • Authorship: Limited to those who made significant contributions to the study. All co-authors must approve the final version.
  • • Disclosure: Authors must disclose any financial or other conflicts of interest that might influence the results.

Malpractice and Misconduct Policy

Publication misconduct includes: (1) Data fabrication/falsification, (2) Plagiarism, (3) Redundant submission, (4) Improper authorship, and (5) Unethical research practices.

Handling Misconduct: Allegations are investigated following COPE guidelines. Confirmed misconduct may lead to manuscript rejection, formal retraction, or reporting to the author's institution.
