Saud: The Journal of Commerce, Management and Economics is firmly committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity. We expect all authors submitting their manuscripts to adhere strictly to ethical publishing practices.

Authors must ensure that their submissions are original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere. Any form of libellous content must be avoided, and appropriate consent must be obtained for any references to identifiable individuals or organisations.

All submissions to the journal are subject to editorial screening and plagiarism detection software to verify the originality of content. The journal actively monitors for violations of ethical standards, including but not limited to:

• Plagiarism
• Self-plagiarism
• Simultaneous or dual submission
• Data fabrication or falsification
• Undisclosed conflicts of interest

The editorial team will handle all allegations of ethical misconduct seriously and in accordance with the guidelines and procedures. If ethical violations are identified at any stage, the editorial board reserves the right to reject the submission, withdraw an accepted manuscript, or issue a retraction notice for published articles found to be in breach of ethical standards.

Along with Plagiarism, AI usage must be within acceptable limits for a manuscript to be published in the Journal. Maximum acceptable limit for AI usage is 20%.

We are committed to promoting transparency, integrity, and accountability in all aspects of scholarly publishing, and we expect our contributors to uphold the same values.
