Ethical policy
Authors are required to acknowledge financial conflicts of interest or other
interests that may influence the manuscript.Submission
of a manuscript to the journal implies that all authors have read and agreed to
its content, Research carried out on humans must include astatement
confirming the informed consent was obtained from each subject or subject’s
guardian and any experimental research on animals should be used after approval
of the experimental protocol by a local ethics committee. Accepted manuscripts
become the permanent property of the journal and may not be reproduced, in
whole or in part, without the written permission of the editor.
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential
building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of
knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors
and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and
embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards
of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing:
the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, and the publisher.

- reviewed articles should be treated confidentially.
4. Editorial responsibilities:
- e.g. editors have complete responsibility and authority to reject/accept an

Duties of the Publisher
We are committed to ensuring that commercial revenue has no impact or
influence on editorial decisions. In addition, International Journal of Management,
Modern Sciences and Technologies will assist in communications with other
journals and/or publishers where this is useful to editors. Finally, we are
working closely with other publishers and industry associations to set
standards for best practices on ethical matters, errors and retractions--and
are prepared to provide specialized legal review and counsel if necessary.
Plagiarism Detection
The peer review process is at the heart of the success of scientific
publishing. As part of our commitment to the protection and enhancement of the
peer review process, our journals have an obligation to assist the scientific
community in all aspects of publishing ethics, especially in cases of
(suspected) duplicate submission or plagiarism.
