Submissions can be rejected by International Econometric Review’s editorial office if it is believed that the manuscript fails to meet the following ethical criteria:

A) Authorship

B) Conflicting Interest
Authors have to provide a declaration in their paper of all potential competing interests involving people or organizations which is related to the work (e.g., personal or financial relationship).

C) Corrections, Clarifications, and Retractions
International Econometric Review is able to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when required. Moreover, the works can be removed or retracted from the journal’s database if it is detected that they violate the ethical issues.

D) Plagiarism
Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism or false citation, forms a serious violation of the principles of scholarship and this type of ethical issue is not acceptable.
