Jurnal Ilmu Manajemen is committed to the highest standards of publication ethics. This statement applies to everyone involved in publishing with the journal: authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher. It follows the COPE Core Practices and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing issued jointly by COPE, DOAJ, OASPA, and WAME.

The journal's core commitments are integrity, fairness and non-discrimination, confidentiality, transparency, accountability, and respect for research participants and the communities studied.

1. Duties of authors

1.1 Originality and plagiarism. Manuscripts must be original and must properly cite all sources. Every submission is checked with similarity-detection software. Plagiarism in any form, including self-plagiarism, is unacceptable.

1.2 Multiple or redundant publication. A manuscript must not have been published before and must not be under review elsewhere. Related outputs from the same project must be disclosed at submission and cross-referenced in the manuscript.

1.3 Authorship. Authorship requires a substantial contribution, approval of the final version, and accountability for the work. Contributions are described using CRediT. Gift, guest, and ghost authorship are prohibited.

1.4 Data and reporting. Data must be reported honestly and completely. Authors follow the reporting standard appropriate to their design, such as PRISMA 2020 for systematic reviews, retain raw data for at least five years after publication, and include a Data Availability Statement.

1.5 Human participants. Research involving human participants requires ethics approval or documented exemption and informed consent, or guardian consent for minors. Additional protection applies to vulnerable groups. Identifying images, quotations, or organisational names require explicit consent.

1.6 Conflicts of interest and funding. All financial and non-financial interests that could be seen to influence the work must be disclosed, together with every funding source and the funder's role in the study.

1.7 Generative AI. AI tools may assist with language editing, translation, idea generation, literature classification, and coding, but must not generate data, results, or references, and cannot be listed as an author. Any use must be declared. See the Generative AI Policy.

1.8 Errors in published work. Authors who discover a significant error in their published article must notify the journal promptly and cooperate in issuing a correction or retraction.

2. Duties of editors

2.1 Publication decisions. The Editor-in-Chief decides on the basis of originality, rigour, significance, and fit with the journal's scope, informed by reviewer advice, and never on commercial considerations or the identity of the authors. The target is a first decision within about six weeks and a final decision within four months.

2.2 Fairness. Manuscripts are judged on scholarly merit alone, without regard to the authors' gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, seniority, or institutional affiliation.

2.3 Confidentiality. Information about a submitted manuscript is disclosed only to those involved in its handling. The anonymity of double-anonymous review is protected. Unpublished material may not be used in an editor's own research without the authors' written consent.

2.4 Conflicts of interest. Editors recuse themselves where a conflict exists. Manuscripts authored by an editor are handled independently by another editor, and the authoring editor has no access to the review record.

2.5 Ethical concerns. Editors act on credible concerns, whether about a submitted or a published article, using the COPE flowcharts, and may issue corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions.

3. Duties of reviewers

Reviewers must have relevant expertise and an active publication record; decline when they are not qualified or cannot complete the review within 21 days; keep the manuscript confidential and never upload it, or any part of it, to a generative AI tool; give objective, specific, and courteous assessments supported by argument; identify relevant published work that has not been cited; alert the editor to any suspicion of misconduct or substantial overlap with other work; declare conflicts of interest and decline where one exists; and make no attempt to identify the authors.

4. Duties of the publisher

Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta guarantees the editorial independence of the journal and does not intervene in individual decisions. The publisher provides the resources for similarity checking, Crossref DOI registration, digital preservation, and the integrity of the published record, and supports the editors in handling concerns, corrections, and retractions in line with COPE guidance.

5. Reporting ethical concerns

Concerns about any article published by, or submitted to, the journal should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief at jurnal.manajemen@uny.ac.id, quoting the submission ID or DOI and setting out the evidence. Receipt is acknowledged within seven working days. The identity of the person raising the concern is treated as confidential and is not disclosed to the authors without consent.
