Ethical rules

The editorial staff of the magazine "Zarządzanie Innowacyjne w Gospodarce i Biznesie," together with the Publisher, comply with the ethical standards set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). They also follow the rules contained in the DOAJ document "Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing," which defines ethical principles in scientific publications.

These standards set out the final and irrefutable rules governing the process of reviewing and editing submitted scientific texts. The editors declare that their compliance is not influenced by any relations with the business sector. The intention of the Publisher, the University of Humanities and Economics in Łódź, is to constantly improve the journals. Therefore, the publication of scientific articles is subject to a fair, ethical and reliable procedure of selecting and reviewing submitted works.

From 2023, the editorial office of the journal has implemented a procedure to secure the originality of scientific publications to counteract reprehensible practices. Practices such as plagiarism, ghostwriting, and guest authorship are manifestations of scientific dishonesty, and any detected cases will be exposed and articles rejected or deleted. The editorial office will document any manifestations of dishonesty, especially violations of scientific ethics.

In connection with the above, the parties' obligations in the publication process are established.
