Republication of Original Work

The IJSB typically accepts original work for publication with few exceptions. These exceptions may include conference papers, archival papers that appear in anniversary or commemorative issues, and noteworthy papers that have had limited circulation (such as those published in a company newsletter). The decision to republish these works rests with the Editor. When republishing, the original work must be properly attributed, and permission must be obtained from the relevant copyright holder. Attributions will also be added to archived content that has been previously republished in any journal.

Attribution

Citations to other publications must adhere to APA style guidelines for journal references. It is crucial to ensure that all references are complete, accurate, and consistent. This includes listing the full names and initials of all authors, as well as providing the complete titles of the journals referenced.

Copyright Forms

IJSB aims to secure copyright for the material it publishes, while allowing authors to retain their scholarly rights to reuse their work.

Assigning copyright to IJSB enables us to:

• Act on your behalf in cases of copyright infringement or unauthorized copying by third parties.
• Safeguard your moral rights in instances of plagiarism or unauthorized derivative works.
• Expand the dissemination of your work, ensuring it garners the citations it deserves.

Upon acceptance of an article for publication in an IJSB journal, authors will be required to submit a copyright form which will be sent via the journal's email.

Final Submission

Authors must ensure that their manuscript is complete, grammatically correct, and free of spelling or typographical errors.

Open Access Publication

IJSB provides an Open Access option for all journal publications, making them freely accessible immediately upon release. The primary aim of Open Access is to enhance visibility for academics, researchers, managers, and other stakeholders, which in turn leads to increased citations for authors.
