Publication Ethics

Banking & Management Review: Research Journal published twice a year in print and online by the STIE Ekuitas Undergraduate Management Study Program. This statement explains the ethical behavior of all parties involved in publishing articles in the Banking & Management Review, including the author, editorial board, review partners, and publisher. This statement is based on COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. This is an open access journal licensed under the CC-BY-NC international license.

 Publishing Ethics Guidelines

The publication of articles in the Banking & Management Review is an important building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. This is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. The articles reviewed support and contain the scientific method. Therefore, it is important to agree on the standards of ethical behavior that are expected for all parties involved in publishing, namely: authors, journal editors, publishers, publishers and the public.

The STIE Ekuitas Bachelor of Management Study Program is responsible for overseeing all stages of publication seriously and recognizing ethical and other responsibilities. Apart from being committed to ensuring that reprint advertising and other commercial revenues do not have an impact or influence on editorial decisions, the institution is also committed to assisting communication with journal managers and/or other publishers if deemed useful and necessary.

 Publishing Decisions

The Banking & Management Review editor is responsible for deciding which of the submitted articles should be published. Validation of the work and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive such decisions. Editors can be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and are limited by legal provisions that must be enforced regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may consult with other editors or the assessment team in making this decision.

 Fair Treatment

Editors always assess manuscripts based on their intellectual content without distinguishing between the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origins, citizenship or political philosophy of the authors.

 Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information regarding submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the author, expert editors, bestari partners, and publishers.

 Notice and Conflicts of Interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

 Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Bestari partners' assessments help editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also help authors improve their writing.

 Speed

Any selected reviewer who feels he is not qualified to assess the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its rapid review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the assessment process.

 Confidentiality

Every manuscript received for assessment must be treated as a confidential document. The document may not be shown or discussed with others unless authorized by the editor.

 Objectivity Standards

Assessment must be carried out objectively. Personal criticism of the author is not permitted. Assessors should state their views clearly with supporting arguments.

 Source Acknowledgment

Assessors should identify relevant published work that is not cited by the author. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been reported previously should be accompanied by relevant citations. An assessor should also ask the editor to pay attention to similarities or overlaps between the manuscript being assessed and other published writings.

 Notice and Conflicts of Interest

Confidential information or opinions obtained through the assessment of bestari partners must be kept confidential and must not be used for personal gain. Appraisers should not consider manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any author, company, or institution associated with the writing.

 Reporting Standards

Authors must present an accurate account of the work created and an objective discussion of its significance. Basic data must be represented accurately in writing. A piece of writing should include enough detail and references to allow others to repeat the work. Fraudulent or intentionally inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable behavior.

 Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works, and that they have cited properly when using the work and/or words of others.

 Double, Repeat or Simultaneous Publication

An author generally may not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable behavior.

 Source Acknowledgment

Fair recognition of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the work reported.

 Writing Authorship

Authorship should be limited to those who made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution or interpretation of the reported study. All people who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. If there are other people who participated in certain important aspects of the research project, they must be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The appropriate author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included in the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

 Notice and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts that might be expected to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All financial support for the project must be disclosed.

 Fundamental errors in published works

If an author finds significant errors or inaccuracies in his published work, it is the author's obligation to immediately notify the editor or journal publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the article.
