Peer Review Process

Journal on Economics, Management and Business Technology adopts double blind review process which the editors pay great attention to. Editors do editorial review before submitting a submission to the review process to assess both the quality and nature of the material. Manuscripts will not be considered for review if they are submitted that do not meet the stated scientific standards. It is expected of authors that they will pay heed to the instructions for authors and, if the piece is not a review, also identify the category in which they are publishing their work. The papers' readability and grammatical usage will also be evaluated by the editors, and if the papers score low in either of these categories, the editors may ask that the papers be resubmitted.

The referees are asked by the editors for their assessment of the manuscript's scientific value and its ability to appeal to a sizable readership with an interest in scientometrics. The editors will get in touch with the referees as soon as the manuscript has been sent to them and will keep them regularly reminded of the deadline. The editor in charge of the manuscript will likely reach a decision within the next day or two after all internal reviews have been completed. The editor will then inform the author they have been communicating with of their decision. Reviewers invest their valuable time in the belief that they are significantly strengthening the scientific enterprise's methodological foundation.

Authors are free to disagree with the reviewers' observations as long as they do so rationally and are supported by a justification that will be judged by the Editor and might be sent back to the same referee. However, if derogatory remarks are made in response to reviewer comments, the publication will be withdrawn.

After the process of having the article reviewed by referees has been finished and before the final decision is made regarding whether or not to recommend the manuscript for publication in the journal, editorial evaluation is also performed.

Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

Papers submitted to Journal on Economics, Management and Business Technology will be screened for plagiarism using the Tunitin plagiarism detection tool. Journal on Economics, Management and Business Technology will immediately reject manuscripts that point to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

One member of the editing team will use a similarity/plagiarism detection tool to search for similarities between previously published or researched papers with an online detection engine (turniti) before sending it to the reviewers. The level of similarity of papers submitted to the Journal on Economics, Management and Business Technology must be less than 24% with the provision that each source must be less than 1% similarity.

Plagiarism occurs when someone presents someone else's ideas or words as their own without permission, credit, or acknowledgment, or when they fail to properly cite the sources they use. Plagiarism can be committed in a variety of ways, including directly copying someone else's work or paraphrasing that work. To accurately determine whether or not an author has plagiarized their work, the following scenarios are highlighted here:

  • It is possible for one author to actually replicate the work of another author by duplicating it word for word, in its entirety or in part, without the consent of the original author or acknowledging or attributing the original source. Comparing the original source to the manuscript or other work that is suspected of containing plagiarized material is one way to spot instances of this unethical conduct.
  • When one author reproduces a significant portion of the work of another author without permission, acknowledgement, or citation, this practice is known as substantial copying. In the area of intellectual property law, the term "substantial," which can be understood both in terms of quality and quantity, is frequently employed. The term "quality" refers to the proportional significance of the copied text in relation to the overall value of the work.
  • The process of extracting concepts, words, or phrases from one source and reassembling them into new sentences within another source is known as paraphrasing. When the author does not correctly cite the original work or does not acknowledge the creator of the original work, this practice is considered unethical. This type of plagiarism is the most difficult to detect because of the way it is written.

Action: A warning is given to the authors and a request to change the text and properly cite the original article is made

Intermediate: A significant portion of a paper is plagiarized without proper citation to the original paper

Action: The submitted article is rejected and the authors are forbidden to submit further articles for one year

Severe: A significant portion of a paper is plagiarized that involves reproducing original results or ideas presented in another publication

Action: The paper is rejected and the authors are forbidden to submit further articles for five years.

According to this policy, any content that has been copied from another publication written by the same author will not be accepted (s). In the event that an author makes use of text or figures that have been presented in a previous publication, it is necessary to identify the relevant paragraphs or figures and provide a reference to the prior work. In the case of a tutorial or review paper, it is generally accepted that a substantial portion of the material has previously been published.

The author needs to determine where the material that has already been published came from and then seek permission from both the author who originally wrote the piece and the publisher. If an author submits a manuscript to Journal on Economics, Management and Business Technology that has significant overlap with a manuscript being submitted to another journal concurrently, and this overlap is discovered during the review process or after the publications of both papers, the editor of the other journal is notified, and the case is treated as a severe case of plagiarism. Substantial overlap refers to the use of figures and text that are either completely identical or only slightly modified from one another for at least half of the document. If the student plagiarized a portion of their own work that was less than half of the paper but greater than one tenth of the paper, the case will be treated as an instance of intermediate plagiarism. If the self-plagiarism appears only in the techniques section, the case is judged to have only minor instances of plagiarism.

If an author uses previously published material to explain the presentation of new results, the previously published material must be identified, and the differences between the current publication and the previously published material must be stated. Before the work can be republished, the owner of the copyright must grant permission. When a manuscript is first published in conference proceedings and then submitted for publication in Journal on Economics, Management and Business Technology, either in identical or expanded form, the authors must identify the name of the conference proceedings and the date of publication, as well as obtain permission to republish from the copyright holder.

However, an author may use content from an unpublished presentation, such as visual presentations, in a subsequent journal publication. When submitting a publication that was originally published in a different language, the authors must identify the title, date, and journal of the original publication, as well as obtain the copyright for the publication. It is possible that the editor will agree to publish the translated version of the work in order to reach a larger audience. To provide a better perspective on a series of papers published in one issue of the Journal on Economics, Management and Business Technology, the editor may choose to republish a previously published paper (for example, a "historic" paper).
