Authorship and Contributorship Policy

Journal of Education Policy and Management Studies (JEPAMS) recognizes as authors only individuals who have made substantial intellectual contributions to the conception or design of the study, data collection or analysis, interpretation of the results, or development of the manuscript.

All listed authors must:

• have made a meaningful contribution to the research or manuscript;
• participate in drafting or critically revising the manuscript;
• approve the final version of the manuscript; and
• agree to be accountable for the integrity and accuracy of their contribution.

Individuals who have contributed to the research but do not meet the criteria for authorship should be acknowledged appropriately.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the authorship information submitted to JEPAMS is accurate and that all listed authors have approved the submitted manuscript.

Changes to authorship after submission must be justified and approved by all authors and the Editor. Authorship should not be added, removed, or rearranged without appropriate justification and agreement from the relevant parties.
