Misconduct & Plagiarism

Editors of the journal has the right to alert potential misconduct to appropriate agents (for example, funders, employers or the editorial board). Authors and peer-reviewers have the right to respond to allegations and for investigations to be carried out with diligence. An allegation should be substantiated and proved right or wrong by the editors.

• When errors affect the interpretation of information, Dutch Journal of Finance and Management has the right to publish 'corrections' (errata), whatever the cause of the error. Likewise, IADITI has the right to publish 'retractions' if work is proven to be fraudulent or 'expressions of concern' when there is a suspicion of misconduct. Depending on the size of the misconduct, the author's institution may be informed, and the author can be refused for a time to publish in the journals of IADITI.
• Plagiarism or duplication of another text is forbidden even if it is an author's previous publication. Plagiarism includes misappropriation or theft of intellectual property by copying another's work. Authors must thereby avoid duplication of another's research and must always make explicit what the source of their information is. The way to refer to sources is set out by the submission guidelines of the IADITI Editions. IADITI has the right to refuse publishing articles that are suspected of duplicating another's work. The Dutch Journal of Finance and Management cooperates with iThenticate to detect plagiarism.
• Duplication is not applicable to the copying of information from a university dissertation or thesis, posters or abstracts or results presented at meetings, provided that it is the author's own work. Results in databases and clinical trials registries can also be duplicated.
• Authors that translate and publish material that has been published elsewhere should ensure that they have appropriate permission. They should always identify the source of the original material.

Acts of plagiarism are violations of Ehical Statement and will not be tolerated. Cases of suspected misconduct will be investigated by editors according to best practices of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). If a malpractice is documented, even after the article is published, the article may be retracted, and authors may be banned from submitting additional manuscripts forever.
