Ethical Oversight
The Marketing and Management of Innovations journal upholds the highest ethical standards, as outlined in detail in the Publication Ethics Policy and Malpractice Statement, along with Publishing Policies and Editorial Policies.
In strict adherence to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the journal implements best practices for academic publications. Rigorous measures are in place to prohibit plagiarism and other unethical activities, with comprehensive investigations conducted into all allegations of misconduct.
The Editorial Board and the Publisher prioritize the protection of the private lives, safety, and dignity of human subjects involved in research. They also ensure proper treatment of animal subjects and verify that the research complies with applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, the Editorial Board oversees the appropriate use of confidential data.
For research involving human subjects, authors must provide an informed consent statement. This statement should confirm that “all subjects of the study gave their informed consent” or explain why informal consent was denied, offering a detailed rationale. Authors are exempt from providing this statement if their research does not involve human participants.
The journal welcomes appeals concerning non-compliance with ethical principles by authors, provided the appeals are not anonymous and are sufficiently substantiated.
