Authorship Policy

The International Journal of Social Science and Entrepreneurship (IJSSE) recognizes authorship as an indication of significant intellectual contribution and academic responsibility. Only individuals who have made substantial contributions to the conception or design of the study, data collection, analysis or interpretation, drafting or critically revising the manuscript, and approving the final version for publication should be listed as authors.

All authors must approve the submitted manuscript and agree to be accountable for the accuracy and integrity of the work. Individuals who contributed to the research but do not meet the criteria for authorship should be acknowledged appropriately with their consent.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all eligible authors are included, that no inappropriate authors are listed, and that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the manuscript before submission.

Requests to add, remove, or rearrange authors after manuscript submission must be supported by a written explanation and the written consent of all authors. The journal reserves the right to decline requests that cannot be adequately justified.

The journal does not accept ghost authorship, guest authorship, gift authorship, or any other form of inappropriate authorship. Any authorship disputes or misconduct will be handled in accordance with the journal's Publication Ethics and Research Misconduct policies.

The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with the journal on behalf of all co-authors and ensuring that all authors have reviewed and approved the manuscript prior to submission.
