Editorial Policies
Ethical and transparent publishing standards for Big Data Research (JBR).
Integrity, fairness, and transparency
Big Data Research is committed to rigorous peer review and responsible publishing in data science, large scale analytics, machine learning, data infrastructure, and responsible AI. Our editorial policies are designed to protect research integrity, author rights, and reader trust.
All submissions are evaluated for scope, originality, ethics, and methodological clarity.
Fair evaluation
Editors assign expert reviewers and base decisions on scientific merit and relevance.
Confidentiality
Manuscripts and reviews are handled with strict confidentiality.
Conflict management
Editors and reviewers disclose conflicts and recuse themselves when necessary.
Transparency
Authors receive clear decision letters and actionable feedback.
- Originality is required; plagiarism and duplicate submission are not permitted.
- All authors must meet authorship criteria and approve the submitted version.
- Data fabrication, falsification, or image manipulation is grounds for rejection.
- Ethics approvals and consent must be documented for human or animal studies.
- Corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions are issued when needed.
Consistency in publishing standards improves discoverability and trust. We emphasize transparent methods, structured metadata, and clear author contributions to ensure that articles remain valuable long after publication.
Authors can strengthen impact by using specific keywords, well organized figures, and precise abstracts. These elements improve how search engines and library systems interpret the article.
Our policies are designed to balance openness with responsible stewardship of data and participant privacy. When restrictions apply, we encourage clear data availability statements to preserve transparency.
For complex projects, we recommend early planning around permissions, ethical approvals, and repository selection. This reduces delays at the final publication stage.
Readers benefit most when conclusions are carefully framed and limitations are explicit. Clear statements of scope help the community apply findings appropriately.
If your institution has specific compliance requirements, we can provide supporting documentation and guidance upon request.
