Publication Ethics

The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Advanced Innovation, and Business Impact (JEAIBI) is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics, academic integrity, transparency, and responsible scholarly publishing. The journal follows the ethical principles and best practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and expects all parties involved in the publication process—including authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers—to maintain ethical conduct throughout all stages of manuscript submission, review, and publication.

JEAIBI also recognizes the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in academic research and publishing. Therefore, the journal promotes the ethical, transparent, and responsible use of AI-assisted tools while preserving originality, accountability, and human scholarly responsibility.

Responsibilities of Authors

Authors submitting manuscripts to JEAIBI must ensure that:

  • All submitted works are original, authentic, and free from plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or manipulation of data.
  • Manuscripts are not simultaneously submitted to or published in another journal or publication platform.
  • All sources, citations, data, images, and references are properly acknowledged using appropriate academic standards.
  • Individuals who made significant scholarly contributions are appropriately listed as authors or acknowledged contributors.
  • Any conflicts of interest, funding support, or affiliations that may influence the research are transparently disclosed.
  • The data, interpretations, methodologies, and conclusions presented are accurate, reliable, and ethically obtained.

Authors are fully responsible for the integrity and authenticity of the content submitted to JEAIBI.

AI-Assisted Writing and Generative AI Policy

JEAIBI permits the limited and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, including generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, Grammarly AI, Gemini, Copilot, or similar technologies, solely as supportive tools for language enhancement, grammar correction, translation assistance, or research support.

However, the following principles strictly apply:

  • AI tools cannot be listed or credited as authors or co-authors.
  • Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, validity, and integrity of all submitted content, including AI-assisted sections.
  • AI-generated content must be carefully reviewed, verified, and edited by human authors before submission.
  • Authors must disclose the use of significant AI assistance within the manuscript, particularly if AI tools were used for drafting, data interpretation, coding assistance, or content generation.
  • AI tools must not be used to fabricate data, generate false citations, manipulate research findings, or create misleading scientific claims.
  • The use of AI-generated images, figures, or datasets without proper disclosure or authorization is prohibited.
  • Manuscripts primarily generated by AI without substantial human intellectual contribution may be rejected by the editorial board.

JEAIBI supports innovation in scholarly communication while emphasizing that academic accountability and ethical responsibility remain entirely with human authors.
