Publication Ethics

The following statement is based on Elsevier's recommendations and the COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

International Journal of Economic, Banking, and Accounting Syariah and its publisher, Almusthofa Scientific Research Centre, adhere to the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).

International Journal of Economic, Banking, and Accounting Syariah is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures to prevent publication malpractice. Authors submitting articles to International Journal of Economic, Banking, and Accounting Syariah declare that their work is original and has not been published, nor is it being considered for publication elsewhere. Additionally, authors confirm that their paper is their own work; that it is not copied or plagiarized, either in whole or in part, from other works; and that they have disclosed any actual or potential conflicts of interest related to their work or any partial benefits arising from it.

Editors' Duties

Publication Decisions
The Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Economic, Banking, and Accounting Syariah is responsible for deciding which of the submitted articles should be published. The Editor-in-Chief may be guided by the journal's editorial board policies and is subject to legal requirements such as libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor-in-Chief may consult with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Manuscript Review
The Editor-in-Chief must ensure that every manuscript is initially evaluated by the editor or section editor, who may use appropriate software to check the originality of the manuscript's content. After passing this check, the manuscript is forwarded to two reviewers for blind review, with each providing recommendations to publish the manuscript in its current form, modify it, or reject it. The review process typically takes at least one month after the reviewers confirm their availability (each article may have different review timelines depending on its quality). For exceptionally high or low-quality articles, decisions may be reached sooner.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in submitted manuscripts must not be used by anyone who has access to them in their own research without the author's written consent.

Fairness
Manuscripts must be evaluated solely based on their intellectual merit, regardless of the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality
The Editor-in-Chief, editors, and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher.

Reviewers' Duties

Timeliness
If a reviewer feels unable to complete the manuscript review within the allotted time, they must promptly notify the editor, allowing the manuscript to be assigned to another reviewer.

Confidentiality
Information regarding manuscripts submitted by authors must be kept confidential and treated as privileged information.

Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly, with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgment of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement previously reported elsewhere must be accompanied by an appropriate citation. Reviewers should also inform the Editor-in-Chief of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Conflicts of Interest
Reviewers should not review manuscripts where they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

AUTHORS' DUTIES

Reporting Standards
Authors of original research reports should present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be accurately represented in the paper. The paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data related to their paper for editorial review and should be prepared to make such data publicly available if possible. Authors should also be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable period after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, this must be appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple or Concurrent Publication
An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. If others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscripts any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that could be seen as influencing the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works
If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

The publisher and International Journal of Economic, Banking, and Accounting Syariah do not tolerate any form of plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered a serious ethical violation by the entire scientific community. Any incidents of plagiarism in submitted or published manuscripts, whether detected or reported, will be taken seriously. We consistently support, advise, and receive input from our Editorial Board and Reviewers to prevent publication ethics malpractice
