Nothing threatens the integrity of scientific research more seriously than the absence of code of ethics and guidelines. It is a joint obligation of editors, authors, reviewers, and publishers to adhere and follow the ethical guidelines in letter and spirit to ensure the credibility and integrity of scientific information and its access to next generations. Transparency and ethical virtues are critical and should be established/maintained with the professional standards.
The Journal of Innovation and Business Management in letter and spirit follows the code of ethics and guidelines issued by the DOAJ and COPE committee on publication ethics. Editors, authors, and reviewers of The Journal of Innovation and Business Management are responsible to follow and enforce these guidelines.
