The aim of the International Journal of Management Research and Development (IJMRD) is to promote the understanding of managers within and across nations. It is an interdisciplinary journal which aspires to inform practitioners in business and non-profit organisations as well as academics and policy makers.
The journal has its focus on managerial practice in culturally diverse business contexts and welcomes considerations for implications of workplace. Areas of interest include the changing needs of an increasingly global society, innovation, change, and reflections on current managerial practice and related areas.
IJMRD will also consider a series of articles which are published together as a ‘Special Issue’. The proposed editors of such a series should contact the IJMRD editors as early as possible to ensure allocation of a publication slot. The same reviewing process is applicable to special issues, but it will be carried out in collaboration with the special issue editors to ensure the high quality of the special issue.

What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions like penalties, suspension, and even expulsion.
Note for Authors
PRJ Publications does not encourage any form of Plagiarism and duplicate submissions. Hence, we strongly recommend our authors to thorough check of the article content before submitting it to our Journals for publication. We request our Authors to use "Plagiarism Checking software’s" to check plagiarism prior to submission as a preliminary step, although they are not completely reliable.
PRJ Publications Plagiarism Policy
PRJ Publications will check plagiarism for all the submitted articles before publishing online. If the plagiarism is observed by editors, peer reviewers or by editorial staff at any stage of publication process, it could be rejected based on the percentile of plagiarism occurred and it would be notified to author.
Cross ref Similarity Check Powered by I Thenticate
Similarity Check is a multi-publisher initiative to screen published and submitted content for originality. PRJ Publications uses the I Thenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Wherever you see the “Similarity Check Deposited” or “Similarity Check Depositor” logos, you can be reassured that the publisher whose content you are reading is committed to actively combating plagiarism and publishing original research.
PLAGIARISM POLICY
Plagiarism not only involves copying someone’s original ideas or work without any proper acknowledgement or citation but it also involves stealing someone else’s work and lying about it afterwards. Hence, plagiarism is considered as a fraud. All the original work and ideas are protected by copyright laws and portraying someone’s work as your own is a serious offence. Below mentioned are some acts that are considered as committing plagiarism:
DEALING WITH PLAGIARISM
We follow the COPE guidelines when dealing with plagiarism whether it is detected before or after publishing the article. Please refer to the following flowcharts by COPE for complete understanding and details:
https://publicationethics.org/files/plagiarism%20B.pdf
https://publicationethics.org/files/plagiarism%20A.pdf.
PRJ holds the right to reject the manuscripts if plagiarism is detected before publishing the manuscript, to retract the article if it is detected after publication and to contact & inform the authors’ institutions about the detected plagiarism.
HOW TO PREVENT PLAGIARISM
