The International Journal of Advanced and Innovative Research (IJAIR) is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. Plagiarism, in any form, is a serious violation of scholarly ethics and undermines the credibility of research. To ensure the authenticity and originality of published work, IJAIR enforces a strict anti-plagiarism policy.
Plagiarism involves using another person’s work, ideas, or expressions without proper attribution, misrepresenting them as one’s own. This includes:
Verbatim Copying: Reproducing text without quotation marks or citation.
Improper Paraphrasing: Rewriting ideas from another work without crediting the original author.
Data Misuse: Using figures, tables, images, or datasets without permission or acknowledgment.
Self-Plagiarism: Reusing one’s own previously published work without disclosure or citation.
IJAIR Standard: Manuscripts must have a similarity index of 19% or less. Submissions exceeding this threshold may be returned for revision or rejected.
Reference Benchmark: While HEC guidelines allow up to 19% similarity, IJAIR maintains a stricter standard to ensure originality and academic excellence.
Plagiarism Detection: All manuscripts are screened using reliable detection software (e.g., Turnitin) before peer review.
Author Responsibility: Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their work and proper citation of all sources. Manuscripts must not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
Initial Assessment: Suspected plagiarism is reviewed by the editorial team.
Verification: The content in question is cross-checked against original sources. Authors may be contacted for clarification.
Editorial Actions Based on Severity:
| Type of Plagiarism | Editorial Action |
|---|---|
| Minor (e.g., improper citation) | Manuscript returned for correction and resubmission |
| Major (e.g., copied content, data misuse) | Immediate rejection; if published, article is retracted |
| Repeated or deliberate acts | Permanent ban from future submissions; the author’s institution or funding body may be notified |
All authors must submit a Statement of Originality confirming that:
The manuscript is original and free of plagiarism.
All sources are properly cited.
The work is not under review elsewhere and has not been previously published.
Authors may appeal plagiarism-related decisions by submitting a formal request to the editorial board. Appeals will be reviewed impartially, and a final decision will be communicated after thorough assessment.
Confirmed plagiarism cases will result in a formal retraction notice, publicly documenting the reason to maintain transparency and preserve the academic record.
IJAIR maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward AI-generated content in academic manuscripts. Submissions generated or significantly written with artificial intelligence tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard, Gemini) are not acceptable. All work must reflect original human scholarship and critical thinking. Violations will be treated as plagiarism and handled according to the above procedures.
IJAIR is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of published scholarly content.
The journal utilizes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) and other preservation mechanisms available through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform to ensure permanent accessibility of published articles.
Regular backups of journal data, articles, metadata, and system files are maintained to safeguard against accidental loss.
Published content remains freely available and permanently accessible through the journal website.
If the journal ceases publication, all published content will remain accessible through preservation services and institutional archives whenever possible.
The International Journal of Advanced and Innovative Research (IJAIR) is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence through a rigorous, impartial, and ethically guided peer review process. Every manuscript submitted is evaluated for originality, methodological rigor, practical relevance, and contribution to the fields of business, management, finance, and related disciplines. The peer review system is fundamental to preserving the journal's integrity and scholarly impact.
To ensure fairness and eliminate potential biases, IJAIR employs a double-blind peer review system:
Author Anonymity: Reviewers do not have access to author identities or affiliations.
Reviewer Anonymity: Authors are not informed of reviewer identities.
This ensures that manuscripts are assessed solely on academic merit.
Manuscripts are submitted via the IJAIR online submission system.
The editorial team conducts a preliminary review to ensure:
Alignment with journal scope
Compliance with formatting and ethical standards
Baseline academic quality
Submissions that do not meet these criteria may be desk-rejected without external review.
Manuscripts passing the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent experts with relevant subject expertise.
Reviewers are chosen based on qualifications, research experience, and absence of conflicts of interest.
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on:
Originality and clarity
Theoretical grounding and methodological soundness
Contribution to practice and scholarly relevance
Reviewer recommendations fall into four categories:
Accept without revision
Accept with minor revisions
Major revisions and resubmission required
Reject
The editorial team reviews all reports and makes a final decision.
For revise-and-resubmit decisions, authors respond to reviewer comments and submit revised manuscripts within the specified timeframe.
Revised manuscripts may be re-evaluated by the same or additional reviewers.
Authors are informed of the final decision along with detailed reviewer feedback.
Standard peer review duration: 4 to 6 weeks, depending on submission complexity and reviewer availability.
IJAIR strives to expedite the process while maintaining review quality.
Reviewers are selected based on expertise in business, management, economics, finance, and related disciplines.
Diversity, objectivity, and academic rigor are prioritized.
