JAMBAK: Jurnal Riset Manajemen, Bisnis, Akuntansi dan Ekonomi is committed to maintaining high standards of integrity, transparency, accountability, fairness, and ethical conduct throughout the scholarly publishing process.
This Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement applies to all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, editors, peer reviewers, editorial staff, and the publisher.
The journal's ethical policies are informed by internationally recognized principles of responsible scholarly publishing, including the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Core Practices, as well as applicable principles of research integrity and scholarly publication ethics.
JAMBAK does not claim COPE membership unless such membership has been formally approved. References to COPE on this website indicate adherence to and adoption of relevant ethical principles and guidance.
JAMBAK upholds the following fundamental principles:
The Editor-in-Chief and designated editors of JAMBAK are responsible for determining which manuscripts are suitable for publication based on scholarly merit, originality, methodological rigor, relevance to the journal's aims and scope, ethical compliance, and the outcome of independent peer review.
Editorial decisions must not be influenced by an author's nationality, institutional affiliation, gender, ethnicity, religion, political views, personal relationships, commercial considerations, or payment of publication fees.
Editorial decisions are independent of the publisher's commercial interests. PT. Berkah Digital Teknologi, as the publisher of JAMBAK, supports editorial independence and does not interfere with decisions to accept or reject individual manuscripts.
Editors and editorial staff must treat submitted manuscripts as confidential documents. Information concerning a manuscript may only be disclosed to the corresponding author, assigned editors, potential or appointed reviewers, authorized editorial staff, and the publisher when necessary for legitimate editorial purposes.
Editors must recuse themselves from handling manuscripts where they have an actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest arising from personal, academic, institutional, financial, competitive, or collaborative relationships.
When an editor is an author or co-author of a submission to JAMBAK, that editor must have no involvement in the editorial assessment, reviewer selection, peer review, or final decision. The manuscript must be handled independently by another qualified editor.
Editors shall take reasonable action when concerns arise regarding plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, citation manipulation, undeclared conflicts of interest, unethical research practices, or other forms of research misconduct.
Where appropriate, the Editorial Team may request clarification, supporting data, ethical approval documentation, authorship statements, institutional verification, or other relevant evidence.
Peer reviewers assist the Editorial Team in evaluating the scholarly quality, originality, methodology, interpretation, and contribution of submitted manuscripts.
Reviewers are expected to:
Reviewers must not upload submitted manuscripts, manuscript excerpts, tables, figures, author information, unpublished data, or confidential peer-review materials to generative artificial intelligence systems or other external AI applications.
Reviewers must independently evaluate manuscripts and prepare their substantive review comments using their own scholarly judgment.
Detailed provisions are provided in the journal's Generative AI Policy.
Authors must ensure that submitted manuscripts represent original scholarly work. The work, ideas, words, data, figures, tables, or other intellectual contributions of others must be appropriately acknowledged and cited.
Plagiarism, including direct plagiarism, mosaic plagiarism, inappropriate paraphrasing, unattributed use of ideas, and undisclosed text recycling, is unacceptable.
Authors must present research methods, data, analyses, findings, and interpretations accurately and honestly. Fabrication, falsification, selective manipulation, or intentional misrepresentation of data or results constitutes serious research misconduct.
Authors must not submit substantially the same manuscript simultaneously to JAMBAK and another journal. Manuscripts that have already been formally published elsewhere must not be submitted as original articles.
Authorship must be limited to individuals who have made substantial scholarly contributions to the conception or design of the study; acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data; drafting or critical revision of the manuscript; and approval of the final version.
Guest authorship, gift authorship, honorary authorship, and ghost authorship are prohibited.
The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all legitimate authors are included, that no inappropriate authors are listed, and that all authors have approved the submitted and final versions of the manuscript.
Authors must provide an Author Contribution Statement describing their respective contributions to the work.
Authors must disclose all sources of financial support, grants, institutional funding, or other material support related to the research.
Where no external funding was received, authors should provide an appropriate Funding Statement.
Authors must disclose financial and non-financial relationships that could reasonably be perceived to influence the research, its interpretation, or publication.
A Conflict of Interest Statement must be included in the manuscript, including a declaration that no relevant conflicts exist where applicable.
Research involving human participants must comply with applicable ethical standards, institutional requirements, privacy principles, and relevant laws or regulations.
Where required, authors must obtain approval from an appropriate institutional or research ethics committee and provide the approval information in the manuscript.
Informed consent must be obtained from participants when applicable. Authors must protect participant privacy, confidentiality, and personally identifiable information.
Authors are responsible for maintaining accurate research records and retaining underlying data for a reasonable period following publication.
Editors may request supporting data when necessary to evaluate the reliability, integrity, or reproducibility of submitted or published research.
Authors are encouraged to make research data available through appropriate repositories where legal, ethical, contractual, privacy, and confidentiality requirements permit.
Where appropriate, articles should include a Data Availability Statement.
Submitted manuscripts may undergo similarity screening before or during the editorial process. Similarity reports are interpreted by the Editorial Team and are not used as automatic acceptance or rejection criteria.
Editors evaluate the nature and context of similarity, including proper quotation, references, methodological terminology, legitimate reuse, and potentially inappropriate copying.
Manuscripts containing plagiarism, excessive unattributed text reuse, duplicate publication, or other serious integrity problems may be rejected.
Artificial intelligence systems cannot be listed as authors because they cannot assume responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, originality, ethical compliance, or accountability required of authors.
Authors who use generative artificial intelligence or AI-assisted technologies in a manner materially relevant to manuscript preparation or research must disclose such use transparently in accordance with JAMBAK's Generative AI Policy.
Authors remain fully responsible for all content submitted to and published in the journal, including content produced or assisted by AI systems.
Editors must disclose relevant use of AI where applicable to their editorial role, while reviewers are subject to the confidentiality restrictions stated in the Peer Review Policy and Generative AI Policy.
Authors, editors, and reviewers must disclose circumstances that could reasonably be perceived as influencing their professional judgment.
Potential competing interests may include:
Authors and other interested parties may submit reasoned complaints regarding editorial procedures, publication ethics, peer review, or published material.
Authors may also appeal editorial decisions when they believe a significant factual, procedural, or scholarly error affected the decision.
Appeals must address the reasons given in the editorial decision and, where applicable, respond specifically to reviewer comments.
Complaints and appeals will be handled fairly, confidentially, and independently. Where necessary, an editor who was not involved in the original decision may evaluate the case.
Detailed procedures are available on the journal's Complaints and Appeals policy page.
JAMBAK takes allegations of research misconduct seriously, whether they concern submitted manuscripts or published articles.
Potential misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
The journal will assess allegations fairly and confidentially and may contact authors, reviewers, editors, institutions, funders, or other relevant parties when necessary to establish the facts.
The journal does not presume misconduct solely on the basis of an allegation. Decisions are made after reasonable evaluation of available evidence.
JAMBAK is committed to preserving the accuracy and integrity of the scholarly record.
When significant errors or ethical problems are identified after publication, the journal may issue:
Retraction may be considered when findings are unreliable due to fabrication, falsification, major error, plagiarism, duplicate publication, unethical research, or other serious breaches of publication integrity.
Published correction and retraction notices should remain permanently accessible and linked to the affected article.
JAMBAK welcomes legitimate scholarly discussion regarding published articles. Readers may contact the Editorial Office regarding substantive concerns, errors, ethical issues, or requests for clarification.
When concerns are supported by reasonable evidence, the Editorial Team will evaluate them and take appropriate action consistent with publication ethics and the preservation of the scholarly record.
Authors retain copyright in their published work and grant JAMBAK the right of first publication.

The publisher shall not interfere with editorial decisions concerning individual manuscripts and shall support appropriate action when publication ethics or research integrity concerns arise.
The Editorial Team periodically reviews JAMBAK's publication ethics and related policies to ensure that they remain consistent with developments in responsible scholarly publishing, research integrity, open-access publishing, and applicable journal accreditation requirements.
Where specialized policies are provided on separate JAMBAK policy pages, those policies should be read together with this Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement.
