Publishing
research work and experiment findings is a celebration of significant
efforts by a scholar who shares results with other scholars around the
world. More importantly, it is a contribution to the body of
knowledge to humanity in the subject matter. Accordingly, IBIMA
publishing takes the matter of publication ethics seriously and takes
the several measures to address this important matter in scientific
research in all its journals.
Strictly blind Peer-review process applies to all manuscripts. This ensures the fair evaluation of submitted manuscripts and that it contributes to the body of knowledge of the subject matter.
The submitted manuscript must be an original work and sole property of the Author(s) and that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere nor it is currently under consideration for publication by another journal. Manuscript that are found to be published before or under consideration/review elsewhere will be rejected immediately and authors will be banned for a period of twelve months from submitting any new manuscript to any IBIMA Publishing journal regardless whether the newly submitted manuscript is authored individually or co-authored with others whether involved or not in the previous violation. That ban will be extended to the editorial board of any journal published by IBIMA publishing. Should the violation repeated after the twelve months ban period, violating author(s) will be banned for three years from submitting any manuscript to any of IBIMA publishing Journals. The only two exceptions are first if that the manuscript was presented previously at an IBIMA Conference as it is treated as an early stage of work in progress that is fully developed later on and submitted to IBIMA Publishing journal. Second, the submitted manuscript builds on a previously published articles elsewhere by the same author(s). In this case, author(s) are obligated to show significant development in the submitted manuscript than the original published article and that the original article is well cited in the submitted manuscript.
IBIMA publishing subscribes to Crosscheck by CrossRef; a project to enhance efforts in preventing plagiarism. IBIMA publishing would not tolerate plagiarism and will take the following measures accordingly. First, the manuscript that has been proven to be involved in plagiarism will be immediately rejected along with the immediate rejection of any other manuscript under consideration by any other IBIMA Publishing journal submitted by the same authors. Second, each author involved in the violating manuscript will be banned for a period of three years from submitting any new manuscript to any IBIMA Publishing journal regardless whether the newly submitted manuscript is authored individually or co-authored with others whether involved or not in the previous violation. That ban will be extended to the editorial board of any journal published by IBIMA publishing. Should the violation repeated after the three years ban period, violating author(s) will be banned for life from submitting any manuscript to any of IBIMA publishing Journals.
