Ethics and Quality Standards

Research Ethics and Publication Quality Standards:

To ensure the high quality of the work accepted for the conference, the School of Business at Al-al-Bayt University affirms its commitment to applying the highest standards of quality and academic practices throughout all stages of evaluation. All abstracts and full papers submitted to the conference will undergo a rigorous review process by members of the Scientific Committee and internal reviewers, adhering to predefined criteria and rubrics. All decisions made by these committees are final and binding.
In the initial stage, all submissions will undergo a preliminary assessment to verify compliance with the technical guidelines and their relevance to the conference themes, ensuring that only appropriate papers proceed to the second scientific review phase.
Following the initial screening, all full papers will be subject to a (double-blind peer review) process, conducted by two subject-matter experts. This stage evaluates the originality, scientific soundness & integrity, ethical use of AI, objective and impartial, and methodological rigor of the research, to ensure objective and impartial decisions. In the event of conflicting evaluations, a third reviewer will be appointed to adjudicate.
Furthermore, papers selected for inclusion in the conference proceedings will undergo a third stage of academic review by the publisher (Springer), in accordance with their rigorous standards and procedures, particularly regarding plagiarism, self citation, and the use of Artificial Intelligence. All decisions made by the publisher at this stage are final and binding.
Moreover, the conference adopts a clear technical policy regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence tools in scientific research. Their application must be minimal and supportive; furthermore, researchers are required to be transparent and responsible in disclosing any AI-assisted tools used, thereby ensuring the preservation of academic integrity and individual accountability.
Therefore, the conference emphasizes the necessity for all researchers to strictly adhere to the highest standards of rigorous academic research, with a firm focus on originality, objectivity, academic integrity, and minimum use of Artificial Intelligence tool in preparing their own papers.
