 The brief description of the statement of ethics is as follows. 

 Ethical Standards for the Editors

 The JAAF (Journal of Applied Accounting and Finance)’ s editors have the right and responsibility to decide the articles submitted should be reviewed and published. The Editor-In-Chief must evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual contents. Prevention of libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism also the responsibility of Editor-In-Chief.

 All of the editors must not disclose any information on a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author(s), reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher. Unpublished materials given in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without a written agreement from the author(s).

 Editors should recuse themselves from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest. Every reported act of unethical publishing behavior must be looked into, even if it is discovered years after publication. 

 Ethical Standards for the Reviewers

 A peer review assists the Editor-In-Chief in making an editorial decision and communications with the author(s). Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the manuscript should notify the Editor-In-Chief. The submitted manuscript and all of the information related to the manuscript must be treated as a confidential document.

 Reviewers should not consider manuscripts which have conflicts of interest. Reviews should be conducted objectively with supporting arguments. Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in a reviewer’s own research without any permission with written consent from the author(s).

 Ethical Standards for the Authors

 Authors of an original research should present an accurate work performed as well as objective discussion on its significance. Data and citations should be declared accurately. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is intolerable. Plagiarism takes many forms, for example using another’s paper as the author’s own paper to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s paper without attribution, or claiming results from research created by others.

 Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. An author should not in general publish a manuscript describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution of the reported study and approved the final version of the paper and agreed to its submission for publication. All authors should disclose in their manuscripts have no financial or other substantive conflicts of interest. If any, the authors should disclose clearly the conflict of interest.
