Advanced Research in Economics and Business Strategy Journal adheres to the highest ethical standards in scholarly publishing. We follow guidelines by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and ensure accountability for authors, reviewers, and editors.

1. Authorship & Contribution Integrity

• Authorship Criteria:

  All listed authors must have contributed significantly to the research design, execution, or analysis.

  • Submit a  "Authorship Statement" must be sent in PDF or photo format, JPG/PNG, to the following email address: Journal.arebus@univ-oran2.dz

  • Changes to authorship require written consent from all parties.

• Originality:

  Submissions must be unpublished and not under review elsewhere. Proper attribution to prior work is mandatory.

2. Conflicts of Interest

• Disclosure:

  Authors, reviewers, and editors must declare any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could bias the work.

• Editorial Recusal:

  Editors with conflicts will recuse themselves from manuscript handling.

3. Data Integrity & Reproducibility

• Fabrication & Falsification:

  Manipulating data, images, or results constitutes misconduct and will result in rejection/retraction.

4. Peer Review Integrity

• Double-Blind Process:

  Reviewers and authors remain anonymous. Reviewers must:

  • Avoid using unpublished information for personal gain.

  • Provide objective, evidence-based feedback.

• Reviewer Conflicts:

  Reviewers must decline invitations if conflicts exist (e.g., collaboration with authors in the past).

5. Editorial Responsibilities

• Fair Evaluation:

  Editors assess submissions based on scholarly merit, free from bias related to nationality, gender, or institutional affiliation.

• Transparency:

  Editors must disclose conflicts and recuse themselves as needed.

  2. Contacting involved parties.
