Publication Ethics
The GlobeIS International Journal of Global Information Systems upholds the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity, adhering to the principles and best practices outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Ethical Guidelines for Authors

  • Manuscripts must be original and not under consideration elsewhere.

  • All listed authors must have made a significant scholarly contribution.

  • Data must be accurate, complete, and honestly reported, without fabrication, falsification, or manipulation.

  • All sources must be properly acknowledged and cited.

  • Research involving human participants or animals must include an ethics statement and approval from a recognized ethics committee.

  • Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data if practicable

Plagiarism & AI Policy

  • All submissions are screened using advanced plagiarism detection software (Turnitin/iThenticate). 

  • All submissions are screened for plagiarism and inappropriate AI-assisted content using recognized detection tools. Editorial decisions are based on the nature, context, and extent of overlap or AI use, in line with COPE guidelines.

Peer Review Ethics

  • Reviews are conducted under a double-blind peer review model.

  • Reviewers must evaluate manuscripts objectively, fairly, and confidentially.

  • Editorial decisions are based solely on scientific merit, originality, and relevance.

Editorial Responsibilities

  • Editors ensure impartial evaluation, confidentiality of submissions, and timely communication with authors and reviewers.

  • Editorial decisions are independent of authors’ nationality, gender, affiliation, or background.

Misconduct and Appeals

  • The journal enforces a zero-tolerance policy toward research misconduct (plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or unethical experimentation).

  • Allegations will be investigated according to COPE procedures.

  • Authors may appeal editorial decisions by submitting a written justification, which will be reviewed by an independent member of the Editorial Board.

Post-Publication Discussions and Corrections

The journal allows for post-publication debate on its platform. GlobeIS will issue corrections, clarifications, or retractions when necessary, strictly following COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) procedures to maintain the integrity of the academic record.
