The Journal of Innovation Management (JIM) takes guidance from the following COPE resources:

• Fabricated data in a published article when suspicion of fabricated data is suspected by a JIM reader. 
• Suspected fabrication data in a submitted manuscript when a reviewer expresses suspicion of fabricated date in a submission. In both cases, the suspicion should be reported to JIM (editors@open-jim.org).

Detecting data fabrication or falsification is more challenging compared to identifying plagiarism and is frequently uncovered by the author's peers who hold suspicions regarding the authenticity of the reported findings.

Reporting Standard - JIM authors must provide an authentic and precise representation of the research conducted and an impartial analysis of its importance. Intentional misrepresentation or fraudulent statements are deemed unethical and are prohibited.
