Peer Review Process

Peer review is a process of evaluating and validating a scholarly work by one or more people of similar competence to the work. Authors should submit original manuscript without any plagiarism and inappropriate data manipulation. The Chief Editor will screen the manuscript to ensure basic science criteria. After the first screening, each submitted manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers and one additional reviewer if the first two show strong different recommendations. This journal follows double blind scheme for reviewing process, meaning that both authors and reviewers are anonymous. Base on the results of the peer review, the Chief Editor will notify the author via email whether the manuscript is accepted, rejected, or required more revision. Should the manuscript require revisions, the authors must correctly and completely address the reviewers’ comments before resubmitting. The revised manuscript will be sent back to the reviewers for validating the revisions. The manuscript will only be accepted for publication if the reviewers has satisfied with the revisions.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public, supporting a greater global exchange of knowledge.

IJIES is an Open Access journal. This means that it uses a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. Readers may freely read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles. All manuscripts submitted, including symposium papers, will be peer-reviewed by qualified scholars assigned by the editorial board.

Its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.

Archiving Policy

In order to ensure the preservation, usability and accessibility content for long term availability, there is a need for management policies and actions, called as Digital preservation policy.

Principle of Digital Archiving

Intellectual Property: The International Journal in Enterprise System (IJIES) is committed to providing access to digital materials while respecting and upholding the intellectual property rights of authors and obtaining prior consent.
Access: Digital preservation activities are performed with the primary goal of long-term access to digital collections.
Authenticity: It ensures that data remain unaltered and the original data is preserved.

Challenges to the preservation of digital data

Technology (at the level of hardware, system software, application software, data and file formats, storage media readers and drivers)
Lack of metadata which results in the failure to locate information, also the inability to render and read the information, due to the lack of contextual information.
The media used to store digital records are usually unstable and deteriorate within a few years or decades at most, rendering the digital records inaccessible.
Incompatible File formats, especially for older software.
Digital records may be lost in the event of natural calamities such as fire, flood, earthquake, equipment failure, or a virus attack that disables stored data and systems.
The digital records may be well protected, but so poorly identified and described that potential users cannot find them.
Discontinuation of the journal due to any reason leads the published research to extinct, digital preservation keeps the research available.

Data fabrication or falsification: If the research findings are based on manipulated, fabricated, or falsified data.
Duplicate publication: If the same article has been published in another journal without proper justification or approval.
Ethical breaches: If the article violates ethical research standards, including human or animal research ethics.
Undisclosed conflicts of interest: If serious undisclosed conflicts of interest are found that compromise the credibility of the research.
Major errors affecting validity: If errors in data analysis, methodology, or results significantly alter the study’s conclusions.

2. Retraction Process

The editorial board initiates an investigation upon receiving allegations of misconduct or errors.
Authors are given an opportunity to respond to concerns before a final decision is made.
If retraction is justified, the journal will:

Publish a formal retraction notice, clearly stating the reason for the retraction.

The reason for retraction (e.g., plagiarism, ethical violations, or errors).
A statement clarifying whether the authors agreed to the retraction.
Information on any related editorial actions.

4. Partial Retractions and Corrections

If only part of an article is affected by errors, a correction or erratum may be issued instead of a full retraction.
The correction will be clearly linked to the original article to ensure transparency.

5. Consequences of Retraction

Retracted articles remain available but are clearly labeled to prevent further citation of unreliable work.
Authors responsible for misconduct may be banned from future submissions.
Severe cases of ethical violations may be reported to affiliated institutions or funding agencies.

Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

To uphold academic integrity and ensure the originality of published research, International Journal of Innovation in Enterprise Systems (IJIES) strictly enforces a plagiarism screening policy. All submitted manuscripts undergo plagiarism detection using iThenticate before being considered for peer review and publication.

1. Plagiarism Detection Process

All manuscripts are screened using iThenticate plagiarism detection software to check for textual similarity and potential plagiarism.
The maximum acceptable similarity score is 25%, excluding references/bibliographies.
Manuscripts exceeding this threshold may be immediately rejected or returned for revision.

2. Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism in any form is strictly prohibited. This includes but is not limited to:

Direct plagiarism: Copying text from another source without citation.
Self-plagiarism: Reusing portions of an author’s own previously published work without proper attribution.
Mosaic plagiarism: Paraphrasing sentences while maintaining the original structure without proper citation.
Improper citation: Failing to properly acknowledge sources of ideas, data, or text.

3. Actions for Plagiarism Violations

If plagiarism is detected:

Minor cases (similarity between 25-30%): Authors will be required to revise the manuscript and provide proper citations.
Moderate cases (similarity above 30%): The manuscript will be rejected, and authors may be advised to rewrite and resubmit.
Severe cases (extensive plagiarism, including verbatim copying from multiple sources): Immediate rejection and blacklisting of the author(s) for future submissions.
If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article may be retracted, and a retraction notice will be issued.
