International Journal of Contemporary Impediments in Commerce and Management is committed to maintaining high standards of publication ethics, academic integrity, transparency, and responsible scholarly publishing. The journal strictly follows ethical practices to ensure that all published research is original, credible, properly reviewed, and free from any form of professional misconduct.
The journal expects authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers to rigorously follow ethical responsibilities throughout the submission, review, acceptance, and publication process. Any form of academic misconduct, including plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, falsification, improper authorship, undisclosed conflict of interest, or unethical research practice, is treated with absolute seriousness.
Authors must ensure that the manuscript submitted is entirely original, unpublished, and not under concurrent consideration elsewhere. All source citations, empirical data, tables, figures, and previously recorded conceptual pathways must be accurately attributed.
Fabricated metrics, falsified data, or intentionally misleading information are strictly barred. Additionally, listed contributors must satisfy accepted authorship criteria frameworks, and the corresponding author must guarantee that all co-authors have reviewed and collectively approved the final layout package prior to upload.
The journal enforces a zero-tolerance policy against plagiarism and duplicate submission. Copying text, ideas, charts, or core empirical discoveries from alternative arrays without proper tracking and explicit citation is unethical.
Manuscripts face automated similarity indexing checkpoints at multiple operational gates. If plagiarism, simultaneous duplicate submission, or unnotified redundant text recycling is verified at any point, the manuscript will face immediate desk rejection, formal withdrawal, or permanent electronic removal.
Editors: Bound to manage a fair, unbiased, and completely confidential review trajectory. Submissions are screened purely on scholarly merit, methodological rigidity, and scope relevance, isolated from author backgrounds, commercial interests, nationality, or personal relationships.
Reviewers: Expected to contribute objective, constructive, and highly confidential feedback within agreed timelines. Reviewers are strictly prohibited from utilizing unpublished manuscript content for personal or institutional gain and must immediately recuse themselves upon identifying any personal or professional conflict of interest.
The journal systematically scans for and acts against the following core professional infractions:
Corrective Actions: Factual, minor, or typographical errors discovered post-publication will be updated via formal Corrections. Verified research misconduct, structural plagiarism, or fatal design flaws will result in full electronic Retraction, which remains permanently linked to the original indexing metadata.
Confidentiality Guarantee: All manuscript items, expert feedback files, and internal corporate editorial exchanges are treated as highly confidential assets. No manuscript metadata or tracking details will be exposed to unauthorized entities at any stage.
International Journal of Contemporary Impediments in Commerce and Management is firmly committed to promoting ethical research, absolute academic honesty, transparent editorial practices, and highly responsible global publication frameworks. The journal serves to preserve trustworthy scholarship and safeguard the absolute validation records of academic publishing in commerce, management, and allied interdisciplinary fields.
