Conflict of Interest Policy

The International Journal of Social Science and Entrepreneurship (IJSSE) is committed to maintaining transparency and integrity throughout the publication process. Authors, reviewers, editors, and editorial board members are required to disclose any financial, professional, institutional, or personal relationships that could influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, the objectivity of their work or editorial decisions.

Authors must include a Conflict of Interest Statement in their manuscript at the time of submission. If no conflicts of interest exist, authors should state:

"The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest."

Reviewers and editors who identify a potential conflict of interest concerning a submitted manuscript shall immediately notify the Editorial Office and, where appropriate, decline participation in the review or editorial decision-making process.

The journal reserves the right to request additional information regarding any declared or suspected conflicts of interest and may take appropriate action where undisclosed conflicts are identified.
