Plagiarism Policy

Statement and Policy

Definition: Plagiarism is the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and been represented as an individual original work."

Policy: The manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not pending publication in other journals. Any material taken verbatim from another source needs to be clearly identified as different from the present original text by (1) indentation, (2) use of quotation marks, and (3) identification of the source.

Any text exceeding fair use standards, defined as more than two or three sentences or the equivalent, or any graphic material reproduced from another source requires permission from the copyright holder. Additionally, if feasible, an individual should seek consent from the original authors. It is also important to properly attribute the source, including any previous publication.

All submitted manuscripts will be checked for similarity using Turnitin.

When plagiarism is identified, the Principal Editors responsible for the review of the manuscripts will agree on measures according to the severity detected in agreement with the following guidelines:

Similarity Level

Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis practices Zero tolerance toward plagiarism. The journal uses Turnitin to evaluate the similarity index and then the Editors decide on the case of possible plagiarism (a similarity report will be provided to the author). The Editorial Board has passed the following actions:

1. Similarity Index above 40%: The manuscripts are rejected (due to poor citation and poor paraphrasing, manuscripts outright rejected, NO RESUBMISSION accepted).
2. Similarity Index 15-40%: Send to the authors for improvement (provide correct citations to all places of similarity and do good paraphrasing even when the citation is provided).
3. Similarity Index less than 15%: Accepted or citation improvement may be required (proper citations must be provided to all outsourced texts).

In cases 2 and 3: The authors should revise the manuscripts carefully, add required citations, and do good paraphrasing to outsourced text. Furthermore, the authors should resubmit the manuscripts with a new Turnitin report showing NO PLAGIARISM and a similarity of less than 15%.

Every manuscript submitted to Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis was scanned using Turnitin.

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 Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis to maintain the integrity and completeness of important scientific records for the archives of study analysts and librarians.

Manuscript Retraction

Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis 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, Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis 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 Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis because 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 Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis 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 Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis 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

Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis 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.

The Editors may confer with other Editors or Reviewers in making this decision.

Fair Play

The Editors evaluate the submitted manuscripts exclusively based on academic merit, such as importance, originality, validity of the study, and clarity. The submitted manuscripts may also be based on their relevance to the scope of the journal, without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, citizenship, religious belief, and political or institutional affiliation of the authors. Decisions to edit and publish are not determined by the policies of governments or any other agencies outside of the journal itself. The Principal Editors have full authority over the entire editorial content of the journal and the timing of publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

The Editors will not use unpublished information disclosed in the submitted manuscripts for personal study purposes without the explicit consent of the authors. Privileged information or ideas obtained by the Editors as a result of handling the manuscripts are kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Furthermore, the Editors are to abstain from considering manuscripts in which they conflict of interest arises due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships/connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the manuscript. In such instances, they will delegate the responsibility of handling the manuscripts to another member of the Editorial Board.

Management of Unethical Behavior

The Editors and the Publishers should take rationally responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented regarding the submitted or published manuscript. Every reported act of unethical publishing behavior will be examined, even when it is discovered years after publication.

Duties of Authors

Reporting Standards

The authors of the original manuscripts should present an accurate account of the work performed and the results, followed by an objective discussion of the significance of the work. The manuscripts should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Reviewed manuscripts should be accurate, objective, and comprehensive, while editorial ‘opinion’ or perspective pieces should be identified. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention

The authors are requested to provide the raw data in connection with the manuscripts for editorial review. Furthermore, the authors should be prepared to provide public access, and in any case, be prepared to retain the data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure the work written is entirely original, and appropriately cite or quote the work of others used. Plagiarism takes many forms, from 'passing off' another person manuscript as their own, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts (without attribution), to claiming results from investigations conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Each manuscript will be checked using a plagiarism checker () to ensure its originality. Furthermore, each submitted manuscript should be accompanied by a letter of statement from the authors stating that it is free from plagiarism.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

Manuscripts describing essentially the same study should not be published in more than one journal or primary publication. Therefore, authors should not submit for consideration manuscripts that have already been published in another journal. Submission of the manuscripts 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, either from conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. The 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 authors of the work.

Authorship of the Manuscripts

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. Any individual who contributed significantly to specific aspects of the project should be acknowledged or listed as a contributor. The corresponding authors should ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscripts and have agreed to the submission for publication.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

When the authors discover a significant error or inaccuracy in the published work, the Journal Editors or the Publisher should be notified, and cooperation should be ensured to retract or correct the manuscripts. In a case where the Editors or the Publishers learn from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, the authors must promptly retract or correct the manuscripts or provide evidence to the Editors of the correctness of the original manuscript.

Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects

In a study that includes chemicals, procedures, or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in the use, the authors must clearly identify these elements in the manuscripts. Similarly, when the work uses animal or human subjects, the authors should ensure that the manuscripts contain a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and have been approved by the appropriate institutional committees. The authors should include a statement in the manuscripts that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed. For human subjects, the authors should ensure that the work described has been carried out in accordance with The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki).

Declaration of Competing Interests

The authors should disclose in the manuscripts any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could be viewed as inappropriately influencing (bias) the work. Furthermore, all sources of financial support for the conduct of the study and preparation should be fully disclosed. This includes elucidating the role of the sponsors, if any, in study design, data collection, analysis and interpretation, report writing, and the decision to submit the manuscripts for publication. In cases where the funding sources had no involvement, the information should be stated. The authors must declare competing interests in the manuscript template.

Image Integrity

Enhancing, obscuring, moving, removing, or introducing a specific feature within an image is not acceptable. Adjustments of brightness, contrast, or color balance are acceptable as long as no information present in the original was obscured or eliminated. Manipulating images for improved clarity is accepted, but could be seen as scientific ethical abuse for other purposes and will be dealt with accordingly. The authors should comply with any specific policy for graphical images applied by the relevant journal, for example, providing the original images as supplementary material with the manuscripts, or depositing these in a suitable repository.

Duties of the Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

The process of peer review assists the Editors in making editorial decisions. Additionally, the editorial communications with the authors may also assist in improving the manuscripts.

Promptness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the subject reported in the manuscripts or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editors and be excused from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents and must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the Editors.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively and personal criticism of the authors 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. Furthermore, Reviewers should call to the attention of the Editors any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscripts under consideration and other published manuscripts of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
