The Journal of Business Management and Technology Advancement is committed to ensuring the ethical treatment of human participants and animals in research. The journal follows the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Declaration of Helsinki, and other internationally recognized ethical standards governing human and animal research.
Studies involving human participants must be conducted in accordance with recognized ethical principles and approved by an appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee before the research begins. Authors must confirm that written informed consent was obtained from all participants and that their privacy, confidentiality, and rights have been fully protected. Any identifiable patient information or images must only be published with explicit consent.
Research involving animals must comply with institutional, national, and international guidelines for the ethical care and use of laboratory animals. Authors should demonstrate that animal welfare was prioritized, unnecessary suffering was minimized, and the minimum number of animals required to achieve valid scientific results was used. Details of ethical approval and compliance with relevant animal welfare regulations should be included in the manuscript.
The Editorial Office may request ethics approval documents or additional supporting information during the review process to verify compliance with ethical standards. The journal reserves the right to reject any manuscript that fails to comply with accepted human or animal research ethics or does not meet the ethical requirements recommended by COPE and ICMJE.
