ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR EDITORS:

1. Publication Decision.The editor of the Tadulako International Journal of Applied Management (TaJAM) is responsible for publishing and deciding which articles to publish from the accepted articles. This decision is based on the validation of the article and the contribution of the article to researchers and readers. In carrying out their duties, the Editor is guided by the policies of the editorial board and subject to legal provisions that need to be enforced such as defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor can discuss with other reviewers or editors in making the decision.
2. Objective Assessment. The editor evaluates a manuscript based on its intellectual content without any discrimination in religion, ethnicity, ethnicity, gender, nation, and others.
   Editors and editorial staff may not disclose all information about manuscripts that have been received to anyone, other than the authors, reviewers, prospective reviewers, and the editorial board.
3. Conflict of Interest. Article material sent to Tadulako International Journal of Applied Management (TaJAM) and not yet published may not be used for the editor's personal research without including written permission from the author. Information or ideas obtained through blind review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. The editor must refuse to review the manuscript if the editor has a conflict of interest, which is caused by a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship with the author, company, or institution related to the manuscript.
4. Cooperation in Investigations. The editor must take responsive steps if there are complaints regarding ethics in the manuscripts that have been received or in the articles that have been published. The editor can contact the scriptwriter and give consideration to the complaint. The editor can also make further communications to related institutions or research institutes. When complaints have been resolved, matters such as publication of corrections, withdrawals, statements of concern, or other notes, need to be considered.

ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR REVIEWERS:

1. Contribution to Editor's Decision.Blind peer review by the reviewer assists the editor in making decisions and can assist the author in improving his writing through editorial communication between the reviewer and the author. Peer review is an important component in formal scholarly communication and scientific approaches.
2. Punctuality. If the assigned reviewer feels that he does not have the qualifications to review a manuscript or knows that it is impossible to review it in a timely manner, the assigned reviewer must immediately notify the editor.
3. Every manuscript that has been received for review must be treated as a confidential document. The manuscript may not be shown to or discussed with others unless authorized by the editor.
4. The review must be carried out objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers must express their views clearly accompanied by supporting arguments.
5. Completeness and Authenticity of References. Reviewers must identify published works that have not been cited by the authors. A previously published statement of observation or argument must be accompanied by relevant citations. The reviewer must notify the editor of substantial similarities or overlap between the manuscript being reviewed and other published writings, to the best of the reviewer's knowledge.
6. Conflict of Interest. Unpublished article material may not be used in the reviewer's personal research without including written permission from the author. Information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. The reviewer must refuse to review the manuscript if the reviewer has a conflict of interest, which is caused by a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship with the author, company, or institution related to the work.

ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR AUTHORS:

1. Writing Standards.Authors must present an accurate paper/article of the research conducted and present an objective discussion of the significance of the research. Research data must be accurately presented in the article. An article should be sufficiently detailed with adequate references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraud or inaccurate presentation of a paper is unethical and unacceptable behavior.
2. Access to Research Data. Authors may be asked to provide raw data for papers to be reviewed and should be able to provide public access to such data where possible, and should be able to retain such data for a reasonable period of time after publication.
3. Originality and Plagiarism. Plagiarism in all forms is unethical behavior in the publication of scientific work and is not acceptable. Authors must ensure that all work presented is original, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, they must cite them appropriately. There are various forms of plagiarism, such as claiming someone else's writing as one's own, copying or rewriting substantial parts of someone else's work without citing the source, and claiming the results of research conducted by others. Self-Plagiarism or biblical plagiarism is a form of plagiarism. Oto plagiarism is quoting results or sentences from one's own published work without mentioning the source.
4. Terms of Submission. Authors may not publish the same manuscript in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal is unethical behavior in the publication of scientific work and cannot be accepted.
5. Inclusion of Reference Sources. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be done. Authors should mention publications that were influential in the preparation of their work. Information obtained privately, such as in conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties, should not be used or reported without written permission from the source of the information.
6. Authorship Authors are persons who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the article. All those who have made significant contributions are listed as co-authors. Correspondence authors should ensure that all co-authors are listed in the manuscript, and that all co-authors have read and approved the final version of the work and have approved submission of the manuscript for publication.
7. Hazards and Human Subjects.If the manuscript involves procedures or equipment that have unusual hazards inherent in their use, the authors should clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the manuscript involves human subjects, the authors should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures are carried out in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations and that a committee within the institution has approved them. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that consent has been obtained for experiments with human subjects. The right to privacy of human subjects must always be observed. Consent, permission and acknowledgement must be obtained if the authors wish to include case details or other personal information in the manuscript. Written consent should be retained by the authors and a copy of the consent or evidence that consent has been obtained should be provided to the journal upon request.
8. Errors in Published Papers. When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in his or her published work, it is the responsibility of the author to notify the journal editor immediately, and to work with the editor to retract or correct the work. If the editor receives information from a third party that a published work contains significant errors, the author is responsible for immediately retracting or correcting the work or providing evidence to the editor regarding the accuracy of the original writing.
