The Journal of Business Management and Technology Advancement is committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial quality, research integrity, and transparency throughout the publication process. The journal follows the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and internationally recognized best practices expected by major indexing databases, including Scopus. Editorial decisions are based solely on scientific merit, originality, methodological quality, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal's scope.
All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial assessment to evaluate their suitability for the journal, compliance with submission guidelines, ethical requirements, originality, and overall scientific quality. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's standards may be returned to the authors or declined before peer review.
Eligible manuscripts are processed through a rigorous double-blind peer-review system. Editors assign manuscripts to qualified independent reviewers with relevant expertise, monitor the review process, and ensure that reviews are objective, confidential, and completed within a reasonable timeframe. Editorial decisions are made after careful consideration of reviewers' recommendations.
The Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors make independent editorial decisions based on the manuscript's scientific quality, originality, clinical significance, ethical compliance, and reviewers' comments. Decisions are free from commercial influence or conflicts of interest and may include acceptance, revision, or rejection.
The Editorial Office is responsible for compiling each journal issue by selecting accepted manuscripts, organizing article sequencing, assigning page numbers, and ensuring that all production requirements are completed before publication. The journal follows a continuous publication workflow to ensure the timely dissemination of accepted research.
Accepted manuscripts undergo professional copyediting, language editing, formatting, reference verification, and proofreading to ensure clarity, consistency, and accuracy. Authors receive page proofs for final review before publication, and only minor corrections are permitted at this stage.
The Editorial Office provides guidance to authors throughout the submission and publication process. Assistance is available for manuscript submission, formatting requirements, revisions, ethical documentation, publication procedures, and technical queries related to the online submission system.
Each manuscript undergoes multiple quality checks, including plagiarism screening, ethical compliance verification, reference accuracy, metadata validation, DOI assignment, and final editorial review before publication. These procedures ensure the reliability, integrity, and international quality of the published content.
Editors, reviewers, and editorial staff maintain strict confidentiality regarding submitted manuscripts, reviewer reports, and unpublished research. Confidential information will not be disclosed or used for personal or professional advantage.
The Editorial Board exercises complete editorial independence in all publication decisions. Editorial judgments are based solely on scientific excellence and ethical standards without influence from advertisers, sponsors, institutions, or commercial interests.
The Editorial Board regularly reviews and updates its editorial policies and procedures to remain aligned with the latest recommendations of ICMJE, COPE, and international publishing standards.
