Publication Ethics

The Journal of Media and Business Studies Research (JMBSR) is committed to publishing high-quality, original research that contributes to the field of media business studies. The journal adheres to the highest ethical standards and expects all authors to do the same.

Here are some of the key publication ethics guidelines for JMBSR:

• Authorship: All authors listed on a manuscript must have made a significant contribution to the research and writing of the paper. Authors should disclose any potential conflicts of interest, such as financial ties to companies or organizations mentioned in the paper.
• Originality: Manuscripts submitted to JMBSR must be original and not published or under review elsewhere. Authors should properly cite all sources used in their research.
• Research misconduct: Authors must conduct their research in a responsible and ethical manner. This includes obtaining all necessary approvals from human subjects review boards and animal care committees. Authors should also report their findings accurately and honestly.
• Data fabrication and falsification: Authors must not fabricate or falsify data. Any errors in the data should be corrected promptly and disclosed to the journal editors.
• Plagiarism: Authors must avoid plagiarism at all costs. This means that they must properly cite all sources used in their work and not copy the work of others without attribution.

If JMBSR editors suspect that a manuscript violates any of these ethical guidelines, they may investigate the matter further and may take disciplinary action, such as rejecting the manuscript or retracting a published paper.

In addition to the above guidelines, JMBSR also encourages authors to follow the COPE Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. These guidelines cover a wide range of topics related to publication ethics, such as authorship, peer review, and conflict of interest.

Authors who have any questions about JMBSR publication ethics guidelines should contact the journal editors.

Here are some additional tips for authors to avoid ethical problems:

• Be honest and transparent in your research and writing.

• Cite all sources properly.
• Disclose any potential conflicts of interest.
• Get feedback from colleagues on your work before submitting it for publication.
• Be willing to correct any errors in your work that are brought to your attention.

By following these guidelines, authors can help to ensure that their research is published in a responsible and ethical manner.
