Duties of Editor
Publication Decisions
The editors of Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences ensure that all submitted manuscripts being considered for publication undergo peer-review by at least two reviewers who are experts in the field. The Principal Editor is responsible for deciding which of the manuscripts submitted to the journal will be published, based on the validation of the work in question, its importance to researchers and readers, the reviewers’ comments, and such legal requirements as are currently in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The Editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.
Fair Play
Editors evaluate submitted manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit (importance, originality, study’s validity, clarity) and its relevance to the journal’s scope, without regard to the authors’ race, gender, sexualorientation, ethnic origin, citizenship, religious belief, political philosophy or institutional affiliation. Decisions to edit and publish are not determined by the policies of governments or any other agencies outside of the journal itself. The Principal Editor has full authority over the entire editorial content of the journal and the timing of publication of that content.
Confidentiality
The editors 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, as appropriate.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
The Editors will not use unpublished information disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own research purposes without the authors’ explicit written consent. Privileged information or ideas obtained by editors as a result of handling the manuscript will be kept confidential and not used for their personal advantage. Editors will recuse themselves from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships/connections with any of the authors, companies or institutions connected to the papers; instead, they will ask another member of the editorial board to handle the manuscript.
Management of unethical behavior (s)
The editors, together with the publisher(s), should take rationally responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented regarding a submitted manuscript or published article. Every reported act of unethical publishing behavior will be looked into, even if it is discovered years after publication.
Duties of Authors
Reporting Standards
Authors of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed and the results, followed by an objective discussion of the significance of the work. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Review articles should be accurate, objective and comprehensive, while editorial ‘opinion’ or perspective pieces should be clearly identified as such. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Data access and retention
Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access, and should, in any event, be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
Originality and plagiarism
The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from 'passing off' another's paper as the author's own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. We will check each manuscript using a plagiarism checker (Turnitin) to ensure the originality of the article. Furthermore, each submitted article should be accompanied by a letter of statement from the author(s) stating that the article is free from plagiarism.
Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication
Papers describing essentially the same research should not be published in more than one journal or primary publication. Hence, authors should not submit for consideration a manuscript that has already been published in another journal. Submission of a manuscript concurrently to more than one journal is unethical publishing behavior and unacceptable.
Acknowledgment of sources
Authors should ensure that they have properly acknowledged the work of others, and should also cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately (from the conversation, correspondence or discussion with third parties) must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Authors should not use information obtained in the course of providing confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications unless they have obtained the explicit written permission of the author(s) of the work involved in these services.
Authorship of the paper
Authorship should be 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. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
Fundamental errors in published works
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.
Declaration of competing interests
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could be viewed as inappropriately influencing (bias) their work. All sources of financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the article should be disclosed, as should the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the article for publication. If the funding source(s) had no such involvement then this should be stated.
Image integrity
It is not acceptable to enhance, obscure, move, remove, or introduce a specific feature within an image. Adjustments of brightness, contrast, or color balance are acceptable if and as long as they do not obscure or eliminate any information present in the original. Manipulating images for improved clarity is accepted, but manipulation for other purposes could be seen as scientific ethical abuse and will be dealt with accordingly. Authors should comply with any specific policy for graphical images applied by the relevant journal, e.g. providing the original images as supplementary material with the article, or depositing these in a suitable repository.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.
Promptness
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgment of sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

R-W-C-R-R Policy
It is understood that the authors have worked carefully in preparing manuscripts, and peer-review processes have been carried out. However, there is the potential for the published manuscripts to be withdrawn or even removed for scientific reasons. It should not be done lightly and can only occur under extraordinary circumstances. On this basis, corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when needed will be carried out with strict standards to maintain confidence in the authority of its electronic archives. It is the commitment and policy of Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences to maintain the integrity and completeness of important scientific records for the archives of study analysts and librarians.
Manuscript Retraction
Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences is committed to keep its responsibility of maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. Therefore, on occasion, it is necessary to retract the manuscripts based on the following reasons:
- A major scientific error would invalidate the conclusion of the manuscripts, for example, where there is clear evidence that the results are unreliable, either due to misconduct (data fabrication) or honest error (miscalculation and experimental error).
- The results have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing, permission, or justification (for example, cases of redundant publication).
- There are ethical issues, such as plagiarism or inappropriate authorship.
To ensure that retractions are handled according to publication best practices and following COPE retraction guidelines, Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences adopts the following process:
- The attention of the Editors should be drawn towards manuscripts requiring potential retraction.
- The Editors should follow the step-by-step guidelines according to the COPE flowcharts, including evaluating a response from the authors of the manuscripts in question.
- Before any action is taken, the result of the Editors should be sent to the Advisory Editor in Chief.
- The final decision as to whether to retract is then communicated to the authors and any other relevant bodies, when necessary, such as the institution of the author.
- The retraction statement is then posted online and published in the next available issue of the journal.
Note that when authors retain copyright for the manuscripts, they automatically have the right to retract it after publication. The integrity of the published scientific record is highly important, and the Retraction Guidelines of COPE still apply in such cases.
Manuscript Withdrawal
The authors are strongly requested not to withdraw the manuscripts that are being processed in Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciencesbecause the withdrawal is a waste of valuable resources. This is due to the considerable time and effort expended by the Editors and referees in the processing of the submitted manuscript, with the investment made by the Publisher. The authors are also obliged to approve the checklist provided before submitting the manuscripts through OJS.
- In a situation where the authors requested the withdrawal of the manuscripts during the peer-reviewing process, the authors would be banned from submitting the manuscripts to Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences one year after the withdrawal date.
- When the authors request for withdrawal after the manuscripts are accepted for publication, the authors would be banned from submitting the manuscripts to Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences two years after the withdrawal date.
- For authors who do not submit revised manuscripts after publication acceptance either with minor or major revision and does not make a confirmation for a long period, the editor may conclude that a withdrawal is made after the manuscript is accepted.
Manuscript Correction
Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences should consider issuing a correction when:
- A small part of an otherwise reliable publication reports flawed data or proves to be misleading, especially when it is the result of honest error.
- The Authors or Contributor list is incorrect (e.g. the deserving authors have been omitted or someone who does not meet authorship criteria has been included).
Corrections to peer-reviewed content fall into one of three categories:
- Publisher correction (erratum): to notify readers of an important error made by publishing/journal staff (a production error) that negatively impacts the publication record, the scientific integrity of the manuscripts, or the reputation of the authors or the journal.
- Author correction (corrigendum): to notify readers of an important error made by the authors that has a negative impact on the publication record, the scientific integrity of the manuscripts, or the reputation of the authors or the journal.
- Addendum: an addition to the manuscripts by the authors to explain inconsistencies, expand the existing work, or otherwise explain or update the information in the main work.
The decision on whether a correction should be issued is made by the Editors of the journal, with advice from the Reviewers or the Editorial Board members. The Handling Editors will contact the authors of the manuscripts concerned with a request for clarification. However, the Editors are responsible for the final decision about whether a correction is required.
Manuscript Removal
The published manuscripts may be removed from the online platform in an extremely limited number of cases. This action will only be taken in instances where the manuscripts are defamatory or infringe the legal rights of others, subject to a court order, or where there is substantial reason to anticipate such order. Additionally, the measure may be implemented when acting upon the manuscripts could potentially pose a significant health risk. In such a situation, while the metadata (title and author information) of the manuscripts is retained, the text will be replaced with a screen indicating its removal for legal reasons.
Manuscript Replacement
In cases where the manuscripts pose a serious health risk, the authors may wish to retract the flawed original and replace it with a corrected version. Under such circumstances, the above procedures for retraction will be followed with the difference that the manuscript retraction notice will contain a link to the corrected re-published manuscripts and a history of the document.
Crossmark Policy
The CrossMark, a CrossRef multi-publisher project, offers a standard way to determine the definitive edition of a text for readers. Elsevier acknowledges the importance to scholars and librarians of the credibility and completeness of the scholarly record. It attaches the highest importance to preserving trust in the authority of its electronic database. By pressing the CrossMark button, readers are told of the current status of the document and will also include detailed information on its publishing history.
