The Journal of Management Economics Literature Islamic and Political Sciences is an international, peer-reviewed, scholarly, and open-access journal committed to the principles of research and publication ethics. The journal’s publication processes are conducted in accordance with the principles of academic integrity, impartiality, transparency, accountability, editorial independence, scholarly quality, open access, and the free dissemination of scholarly knowledge.
1. International Standards and Fundamental Principles
The journal’s publication ethics and editorial procedures are conducted with due regard to the principles and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), and other relevant national and international standards of scholarly publishing.
All parties involved in the publication process—including authors, reviewers, editors, section editors, editorial board members, and the publisher—are required to act in accordance with these ethical principles.
2. Publication Policy
The Journal of Management Economics Literature Islamic and Political Sciences aims to publish original, high-quality scholarly works that make a meaningful contribution to their respective fields.
Submissions must not have been previously published or submitted to another journal for simultaneous consideration and must be prepared in accordance with the principles of research and publication ethics.
Works submitted for publication must fall within the journal’s aims and scope. Submissions that fall outside the journal’s scope, lack sufficient scholarly quality or originality, contain incomplete ethical declarations, or fail to comply with the journal’s author guidelines may be rejected by the editorial board without being sent for peer review.
Authors bear full scientific, ethical, legal, and linguistic responsibility for the works published in the journal.
3. Peer-Review Policy
Scholarly works submitted to the Journal of Management Economics Literature Islamic and Political Sciences are evaluated through a double-anonymized peer-review process. Under this system, the identities of the authors are not disclosed to the reviewers, and the identities of the reviewers are not disclosed to the authors.
Submissions are first subject to a preliminary editorial assessment. At this stage, the editorial team evaluates the submission’s conformity with the journal’s scope, compliance with the author guidelines, completeness of ethical declarations, similarity rate, citation practices, and scholarly quality. Submissions that do not pass the preliminary assessment may be returned to the authors or rejected without being sent for peer review.
Submissions that pass the preliminary assessment are sent to at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise. Where one reviewer provides a positive recommendation and the other provides a negative recommendation, the editorial board may refer the submission to a third reviewer or make a final decision after considering the reasoning provided in the reviewer reports.
The final publication decision is made by the editor-in-chief or the editorial board on the basis of the reviewer reports and the editorial assessment.
The peer-review process is conducted in accordance with the principles of impartiality, confidentiality, scholarly competence, and avoidance of conflicts of interest. Reviewers are expected to decline an invitation to review where they have an actual or potential conflict of interest concerning the work under consideration.
Reviewers are not selected from among individuals employed at the same institution as the authors. Editors must ensure that no institutional, academic, personal, or financial conflict of interest exists between authors and reviewers.
Submissions authored by an editor, editorial board member, or another person affiliated with the journal are subject to an independent peer-review and editorial evaluation process from which the relevant individual is entirely excluded.
4. Research Ethics
All works submitted to the journal must be prepared in accordance with the principles of research ethics. Approval must be obtained from the relevant ethics committee for studies involving human participants and employing methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, observations, experiments, interventions, the use of personal data, or comparable research procedures.
For studies requiring ethics committee approval, the name of the ethics committee, the date of approval, and the decision or approval number must be clearly stated in the manuscript. Where ethics committee approval is not required, this must be declared in the manuscript together with an appropriate justification.
Authors are responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions and fulfilling all ethical and legal obligations in studies involving archival documents, historical records, visual materials, personal data, oral history recordings, private collections, or copyrighted materials.
Informed consent must be obtained for research involving participants. Participants’ privacy, personal data, and identifying information must be protected. Personal data must be processed and used in accordance with applicable legal requirements and ethical principles.
During submission, an Ethics Committee Approval Declaration Form, signed by all authors, must be uploaded to the journal system. Where the study is subject to ethics committee approval, the relevant ethics committee approval document must also be included among the submission files.
Detailed information regarding studies that require or do not require ethics committee approval is provided in the Ethics Committee Declaration Document. Authors are advised to review this document before submitting their work.
5. Publication Ethics
The Journal of Management Economics Literature Islamic and Political Sciences does not tolerate unethical publication practices, including plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, salami slicing, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, gift authorship, ghost authorship, unauthorized use of data, failure to disclose conflicts of interest, and manipulative citation practices.
Submissions must be original and must not have been published elsewhere. The same work may not be submitted simultaneously to another journal.
Works previously presented at a scholarly meeting may be considered for publication provided that they have been substantially expanded and converted into an article format. In such cases, the previous version of the work and the event at which it was presented must be clearly identified in the manuscript.
Authors must cite all sources used in their work accurately, completely, and in accordance with the applicable citation rules. Ideas, texts, data, images, tables, figures, or findings belonging to others may not be used without appropriate attribution.
6. Similarity and Plagiarism Policy
Submissions are screened using similarity-detection software during the preliminary editorial assessment or before publication.
Similarity reports are not evaluated solely on the basis of a numerical percentage. The nature of the similarity, citation practices, the appropriateness of direct quotations, and compliance with academic writing principles are also taken into consideration.
The total similarity rate, excluding the reference list, is expected not to exceed 20%. Similarity with any single source must not exceed 3%.
Submissions found to contain plagiarism, self-plagiarism, inappropriate quotation, unattributed material, or manipulation of data or text are rejected. Where an ethical violation is identified after publication, the journal may initiate procedures for correction, clarification, expression of concern, or retraction.
