Publication Ethics in International Business and Management Journals
The Journal of Management Theory and Practices Research (JMTPR) is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards for all parties involved in the publication process of a peer-reviewed journal (authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers). The journal's publication ethics are based on a double-blind peer review process where reviewers and authors are unaware of each other's identities. Scientific studies are sent to at least two reviewers during the evaluation process.

I) Responsibilities of Editors
1. Accountability: The editor of JMTPR is responsible for deciding which of the submitted articles should be published and is accountable for their decisions.
2. Impartiality: The review process and publication decision are made without considering the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.
3. Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher.
4. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Editors should recuse themselves from handling manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the papers. All authors must disclose any relevant conflicts of interest, and corrections must be published if conflicts are discovered after publication.
5. Involvement and Cooperation in Investigations: Editors should ensure the integrity of the published record by issuing corrections and retractions when necessary and by pursuing suspected or alleged research and publication misconduct. They should take appropriate measures when ethical complaints are presented regarding a submitted or published paper, which may include contacting the author and relevant institutions and, if necessary, publishing corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern.

 II) Responsibilities of Reviewers
1.Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and may help the author improve the paper through editorial communication.
2. Promptness: Any reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research or knows that timely review will be impossible should notify the editor and withdraw from the review process or request additional time.
3. Confidentiality: Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents and must not be shown or discussed with others without the editor's authorization.
4. Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively, and personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
5. Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work not cited by the authors and inform the editor of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript and any other published paper they know of.
6. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest:Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the papers.

 III) Responsibilities of Authors
1. Reporting Standards: Authors should present their results clearly, honestly, and without fabrication, falsification, or inappropriate data manipulation. They should describe their methods clearly and unambiguously for others to confirm their findings.
2.Originality, Plagiarism, and Acknowledgment of Sources: Authors must ensure that their work is original, not plagiarized, and has not been published elsewhere. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior. Proper acknowledgment of others' work must be given.
3. Ethics:Authors should only submit works that have been conducted ethically and responsibly and comply with all relevant legislation.
4. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Authors must disclose any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support must be disclosed.
5. Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All significant contributors should be listed as co-authors, and all co-authors must approve the final version of the paper and agree to its submission.
6. Multiple or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not submit the same research manuscript to more than one journal concurrently. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals is unethical.
7. Fundamental Errors in Published Works: When authors discover significant errors in their published work, they must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with them to retract or correct the paper. If a third party informs the editor or publisher of a significant error, the author must retract or correct the paper or provide evidence of the correctness of the original paper.
8.Copyright Transfer Statement Authors agree to transfer all economic rights of the article, including reproduction, printing, publication, distribution, and transmission via the internet, to the Journal of Management Theory and Practices Research. All rights specified in Article 20 and following articles of Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works are transferred to the journal free of charge and indefinitely, allowing the author to reproduce and distribute the work for non-commercial purposes and to quote from the work with attribution.
