Statistical Policy for the Involvement International Journal of Business

In our steadfast commitment to upholding the highest standards of research integrity, the Involvement International Journal of Business has established a robust statistical policy designed to ensure the accuracy, transparency, and reliability of the statistical methodologies employed in submitted manuscripts.

Authors submitting to our journal are required to provide a transparent and comprehensive account of the statistical methods utilized in their research. This encompasses a detailed description of study design, data collection, and analytical procedures. Authors are also encouraged to disclose the specific statistical software and versions used in their analyses.

The policy places a strong emphasis on data accuracy and integrity. Authors must ensure the precision of their data, and any preprocessing or cleaning procedures must be clearly reported. To facilitate transparency and verification, authors are expected to make raw data and pertinent documentation available upon request.

In an effort to promote a nuanced understanding of results, authors are encouraged to interpret statistical significance judiciously, supplementing p-values with effect sizes and confidence intervals. The policy underscores the importance of interpreting statistical significance within the context of study objectives and design.

Reproducibility is a key tenet of our statistical policy. Authors are encouraged to provide sufficient detail in their manuscripts to enable the replication of statistical analyses. The submission of code, scripts, or algorithms used in analyses is encouraged to facilitate the reproducibility of research findings.

Ethical considerations play a pivotal role in statistical reporting. Authors are expected to adhere to ethical guidelines related to data collection, obtaining informed consent, data confidentiality, and the responsible use of statistical methods.

Peer review forms a critical component of our statistical policy. Manuscripts undergo rigorous scrutiny by reviewers who assess the appropriateness of statistical methods, the accuracy of data representation, and the validity of results. Authors may be requested to provide additional information or conduct supplementary analyses during the review process.

To foster continuous improvement and understanding of statistical methods, the journal provides resources, guidelines, and workshops to support both authors and reviewers.

Through the implementation of this statistical policy, the Involvement International Journal of Business aims to enhance the credibility and reliability of published research. We express our gratitude to authors, reviewers, and readers for their collaborative efforts in upholding these standards and advancing the quality of statistical reporting in academic research.
