Originality and Plagiarism: A series editor will make sure that all submitted manuscripts are original and properly cite any previously published work. All manuscripts will be checked with plagiarism detection software. 

Language and Style: A series editor will ensure a high standard of language and style in published books. 

Formatting and Layout: Depending on the nature of the subject, each book will be assigned specific typesetting and graphics instructions to ensure a consistent and professional appearance for published books.

Accuracy and Fact-Checking: Authors must provide accurate and well-researched content. During the review process, a reviewer will conduct fact-checking to minimize errors.

Citations and References: All manuscripts must follow APA 7th edition guidelines for proper citation and referencing and to give credit to the original sources and ensure intellectual integrity.

Copyright Ownership: All authors will sign a manuscript agreement. Every agreement will clearly communicate copyright ownership. Each author will be given a copy of the agreement, and the publisher will also keep a copy of the agreement. 

Permissions and Licensing: In the agreement all authors are sent, the following is included: The author(s) is responsible for obtaining permission necessary to quote from other works, to reproduce material already published and to reprint from other publications. Sometimes a publisher, approached to grant permission, will demand a nominal payment: it is the author’s / customer’s responsibility to see that such payment conditions are met.

Copyright Infringement: Ideas are not copyrighted, but the expression of those ideas captured in writing, video, audio, or other formats is protected by the copyright law. The old rule of copyrighted materials containing a copyright symbol is gone. Since January 1, 1978, anything set into a physical format (such as slides, handouts, illustrations, video and audio recordings, Web pages, PowerPoint presentations, photos, artwork, books, journals, even personal notes) is protected under the copyright law, whether it contains a copyright symbol or not.

Research Ethics: North American Business Press is committed to upholding the highest standards of research ethics. We expect all authors, editors, and reviewers to abide by the principles of professional ethics, including honesty, respect for others, integrity, and openness to criticism. We recognize the importance of protecting the rights and welfare of all research participants, authors, and editors and will not tolerate any form of unethical behavior. All participants in the research process must adhere to the Committee on Publication Ethics standards (publicationethics.org), including those related to informed consent, data collection, data analysis, data storage, and publication. Any research that involves human participants must receive approval from an independent ethical review board. We also expect authors to adhere to the standards of academic integrity, including accurate citation of sources and proper acknowledgement of other authors’ work.

Plagiarism and Duplication: Plagiarism refers to the act of using another's ideas, words, or results without giving proper credit. According to the Office of Research Integrity, this can include "theft or misappropriation of intellectual property and the substantial unattributed textual copying of another's work". It is easy to identify plagiarism when large portions of text are copied verbatim without citation, and manuscripts containing such plagiarism would not be accepted for publication. Reusing parts of text from an author's previous research publication is also a form of plagiarism and must be attributed accordingly. This is also true when reusing text from another author's work; it is essential to provide proper attribution and citation to avoid a misperception of unique contribution.

It is also important to avoid duplication, which is the reuse of substantial parts of an author's own published work without including the appropriate references is known as duplicate (or redundant) publication. This can range from republishing an identical paper in multiple journals to simply adding a little new data to a previously published paper.

All manuscripts will be checked by plagiarism and duplication software. Whether detected by software or reported to the publisher by a person, our editors will assess plagiarism cases on their individual merits. When plagiarism becomes evident post-publication, we may correct,retract or otherwise amend the original publication depending on the degree of plagiarism, context within the published article and its impact on the overall integrity of the published study.
