Publication Ethics

The Journal of Advanced Managerial Psychology (JAMP) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity in scholarly publishing. All authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to adhere to these standards.

1. Author Responsibilities

Authors submitting to JAMP must ensure that:

  • The manuscript is original and has not been published or submitted elsewhere.
  • All authors have approved the submission and agree with the order of authorship.
  • Data presented are accurate, and sources are properly cited.
  • Any potential conflicts of interest are disclosed.
  • Ethical approval has been obtained for research involving human or animal subjects.

2. Plagiarism and Academic Misconduct

JAMP takes misconduct seriously. Authors must avoid:

  • Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism
  • Fabrication, falsification, or manipulation of data
  • Duplicate publication or redundant publication

Suspected cases of misconduct will be investigated following COPE guidelines. Articles may be corrected, retracted, or withdrawn if ethical breaches are confirmed.

3. Reviewer Responsibilities

Reviewers are expected to:

  • Provide fair, constructive, and timely reviews
  • Maintain confidentiality of all manuscripts they review
  • Declare any potential conflicts of interest and decline to review if conflicts exist

  • Make decisions impartially and based on scholarly merit
  • Ensure fair and timely peer review
  • Maintain confidentiality of submitted manuscripts
  • Handle ethical issues and conflicts of interest according to COPE standards

5. Conflict of Interest

All participants in the publication process (authors, reviewers, editors) must disclose any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could influence their judgment.

6. Handling Misconduct

If ethical violations are suspected:

  • The editorial office will investigate the allegation thoroughly
  • Authors may be contacted for clarification
  • Actions may include correction, retraction, or rejection of the manuscript
  • Serious breaches may be reported to authors’ institutions or funding bodies

7. Retraction and Corrections

JAMP follows COPE guidelines for corrections and retractions:

  • Articles may be corrected to address errors or inaccuracies
  • Retractions are issued for serious ethical violations, including plagiarism or data fabrication
  • Notices of correction or retraction will be linked to the original article

8. Confidentiality

All submissions are treated as confidential. Editors and reviewers must not share or discuss manuscripts with anyone outside the peer review process.
