Publication Ethics
Ethical standards in publication are in place to uphold the integrity of scientific research
publications, guarantee the reliability and high quality of findings, foster public trust in scientific
endeavors, and ensure that researchers duly receive credit for their work and ideas.
CU Global Management Review follows strict Code of Conduct and aims to adhere to its Best Practice Guidelines.
Plagiarism
All articles disseminated by CU Global Management Review adhere strictly to the publication of
original material—content that has not been previously published or is currently under review
elsewhere. Manuscripts identified as having plagiarized from the work of other authors,
irrespective of its publication status, will be subject to penalties for plagiarism.
Duplicate Submission
Manuscripts identified as having been previously published elsewhere or currently under review
elsewhere will be subject to sanctions for duplicate submission. In cases where authors have
utilized their own previously published work or work under current review as the foundation for
a submitted manuscript, it is imperative to acknowledge and cite the prior work. Additionally,
authors must explicitly outline the novel contributions their submitted manuscript brings beyond
those presented in the earlier work.
Improper Author Contribution or Attribution
All authors listed must have substantively contributed to the scientific research presented in the
manuscript and have provided their approval for all its claims. Inclusion should encompass all
individuals who have made a noteworthy scientific contribution to the study.
Redundant Publications
Redundant publications occur when study findings are inappropriately divided across multiple articles.
Citation Manipulation
Manuscripts under review that are discovered to contain citations primarily intended to
artificially boost the citation count of a specific author's work or articles published in a particular
journal will be subject to penalties for citation manipulation.
Data Fabrication & Falsification
Manuscripts under review that are discovered to contain citations primarily intended to
artificially boost the citation count of a specific author's work or articles published in a particular
