CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY

Conflict of Interest Policy

The International Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting Research (IJEBAR) is committed to ensuring transparency, objectivity, and integrity throughout the publication process.

Authors must disclose any financial, professional, personal, or institutional relationships that could influence, or be perceived to influence, the research, its interpretation, or the publication decision.

Reviewers must disclose any potential conflicts of interest before accepting a review assignment. Reviewers should decline assignments when personal, professional, financial, or other relationships could compromise their impartiality.

Editors must not handle manuscripts when they have a conflict of interest involving the authors, institutions, research, or other relevant parties. Such manuscripts will be assigned to another qualified editor whenever appropriate.

All disclosed conflicts of interest will be assessed by the editorial team. The journal may request additional information and take appropriate measures to maintain an impartial editorial and peer-review process.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all relevant conflicts of interest are accurately disclosed during submission. Failure to disclose a significant conflict may result in appropriate editorial action in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies.
