Publication Ethics for JMABR Journal Editors

  • Editors should be accountable for everything published in the journal. This includes having measures in place to assess the quality of the material they accept for the journal, as well as a willingness to publish corrections and clarifications when required.
  • Editors should guide authors and reviewers on all aspects that are expected of them.
  • Editors should make decisions on which articles to publish based on quality and suitability for the journal.
  • Editors should handle submissions in a fair, unbiased and timely manner and treat all manuscripts as confidential, for distribution to others for purposes of peer review only.
  • Editors should have systems in place to ensure that peer reviewers’ identities are protected, unless they use an open review system that is explicitly declared to authors and reviewers.
  • Editors should provide new editorial board members with guidelines on everything that is expected of them and should keep existing members updated on new policies and developments.
  • Editors should have systems in place to manage their conflicts of interest, as well as those of their staff, authors, reviewers, and editorial board members.

Publication Ethics for JMABR Journal Authors

  • Authors should declare that all work in their submitted piece is original and cite content from other sources appropriately to avoid plagiarism.
  • Authors must ensure their contribution does not contain any libellous matter or infringe on any copyright or other intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third party.
  • The listing of authors should accurately reflect who carried out the research and wrote the article, and all of the co-authors should jointly determine the order of authorship.
  • All authors should be aware of the submission of their paper to the journal and agree to the primary author signing an IPR form on their behalf.
  • Authors should ensure that their manuscript, as submitted, is not under consideration (or accepted for publication) elsewhere. Where sections of the manuscript overlap with published or submitted content, this should be acknowledged and cited.
  • The source of funding for a research project should be listed on all funded research papers. Other sources of support should also be acknowledged in the manuscript, typically in the acknowledgements section.
  • Authors should inform the editor or publisher if there is a significant error in their published piece, and work with the editor to publish an erratum, addendum or retraction where necessary.

Publication Ethics for JMABR Journal Article Reviewers

  • Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should clearly express their views, accompanied by supporting arguments.

  • Reviewers should inform the journal editor of any published or submitted content that is similar to the material under review or any suspected plagiarism.
  • Reviewers should declare any potential conflicts of interest relating to a specific article or author.
  • Reviewers should respect the confidentiality of any information or materials provided during the review process.
  • Any selected reviewers who feel unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or know that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.
  • Reviewers should follow the journal’s guidelines, which can be accessed within the journal system.
