Ethical Principles and Good Practices
This journal is committed to ethics and the quality of publications. We advocate ethical behavior from all parties involved in publishing in our journal: authors, editor, reviewers, and the editorial team of the Journal of Dialogue with the Creative Economy.
We do not accept plagiarism or any other unethical behavior.
DUTIES OF AUTHORS:
Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their works are entirely original, and if they use the work and/or text of others, it must be properly cited. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
Multiple, Redundant, and Simultaneous Publication: An author should not publish manuscripts that have been previously published in another journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously and/or publishing the same article in more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing behavior. Any doubt in this regard should be informed in the submission form.
About Sources: The work of other authors must always be acknowledged. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
Authorship: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Individuals who participated in certain aspects of a research project and/or the submitted article should be listed as contributors in a footnote. All authors and co-authors should be aware of and agree to the submission of the work.
Funding: All sources of financial support for the project/article should be disclosed. Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or editorial team and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the article.
Submission/Publication Frequency: Authors who have published an article in the journal must wait a minimum period of one year (three issues) to make a new submission.
DUTIES OF REVIEWERS - SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE:
Confidentiality: Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown or discussed with others, nor disclosed before publication.
Promptness: Any reviewer who feels unqualified to review the manuscript or knows that its prompt reading will be impossible should notify the editor immediately.
Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Reviewers should express their views clearly, courteously, and with supporting arguments.
Plagiarism/Novelty/Originality: The reviewer should draw the editor's attention to any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript in question and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Reviewers must not evaluate manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the manuscripts.
Publication by Scientific Committee Members: Members of the Scientific Committee are allowed to submit articles for publication, provided they adhere to the journal's standards and the principles governing its code of ethics.
DUTIES OF EDITORS:
Publication Decision: The editor is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. The editor is guided by the policies determined by the Editorial Board, the Scientific Committee, and the Scientific Journal Editorial Team. These policies must adhere to current legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. When making decisions, the editor should consult the Scientific Committee, the Editorial Board, and the Scientific Journal Editorial Team.
Transparency and Respect: The editor must evaluate submitted manuscripts without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality: The editor and other editorial team members must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the reviewers.
Conflicts of Interest: The editor must refuse to review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or (potentially) institutions associated with the manuscripts.
Novelty: The editor is responsible for excluding (either from submission or from the published journal) any articles previously published by the same author.
Involvement and Cooperation in Investigations: The editor should take reasonable steps when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published article.
