Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement
This statement describes the ethical behavior of all parties involved in publishing articles in BIP'S : Journal of Business Perspectives, including authors, editorial board, bestarial partners, and publisher. This statement is based on COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Publishing Code of Conduct
Publishing articles in BIP'S: Journal of Business Perspectives is an important building block in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. The articles reviewed support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree on the standards of ethical behavior expected of all parties involved in publishing, viz: authors, journal editors, reviewers, publishers, and the public.

The Faculty of Economics of Darma Cendika Catholic University Surabaya is responsible for overseeing all stages of publishing in a conscientious manner and recognizes its ethical and other responsibilities. The institution is not only committed to ensuring that reprint advertisements and other commercial income have no impact or influence on editorial decisions, but is also committed to assisting communication with journal managers and/or other publishers if deemed useful and necessary.

Publishing Decision
The editor of BIP'S: Journal of Business Perspectives is responsible for deciding whether submitted articles should be published. The validity of the work and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive the decision. Editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by legal requirements as they apply to defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may confer with other editors or the review team in making these decisions.

Plagiarism

Authors should submit only original work that is not plagiarized, and has not been published or being considered elsewhere.  Turnitin software may be used by the editorial office to check for similarities of submitted manuscripts with existing literature. Inclusion of fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements are unacceptable. Work and/or words from other publications must be appropriately cited or quoted.

Fair Treatment
The editors always evaluate manuscripts based on their intellectual content without discriminating against the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality
Editors and editorial staff should not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the authors, expert editors, bestarial partners, and publisher.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in the submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the authors.

Assessment Team Obligations
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Reviewers' judgments help editors make editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also help authors improve their writing.

  1. Speed
    Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to assess the research reported in a manuscript or knows that a prompt review will be impossible should inform the editor and excuse himself or herself from the review process.
  2. Confidentiality
    Any manuscript accepted for review should be treated as a confidential document. It should not be shown or discussed with others unless authorized by the editor.
  3. Objectivity Standard
    Appraisal should be done objectively. Personal criticism of the author is not allowed. Reviewers should state their views clearly with supporting arguments.
  4. Acknowledgement of Sources
    Assessors must identify relevant published works not cited by the authors. Any assertion that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported must be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also ask the editor to note any similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under review and other published work.
  5. Notification and Conflict of Interest
    Confidential information or opinions obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and should not be used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest stemming from a competitive, cooperative, or other relationship or connection with any author, company, or institution associated with the paper.

  

Author Obligations
