Ownership and Management

Ownership.
BAJ (Behavioral Accounting Journal), e-ISSN 2615-7004, is owned and published by Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur, Indonesia, through the Accounting Department of the Faculty of Economics and Business. 

Partnership.
BAJ is published in collaboration with the Indonesian Institute of Accountants, Compartment of Academic Accountants (IAI-KAPd), under a memorandum of understanding. The partnership supports the journal’s academic network and does not affect editorial decisions.

Management.

The journal is managed by an editorial team whose names, affiliations, and ORCID or Scopus IDs are published on the Editorial Team. The structure is as follows:

  • Editor-in-Chief – holds final responsibility for the academic quality, editorial policy, and publication decisions of the journal.
  • Managing Editor – coordinates the daily editorial workflow, issue planning, communication with authors and reviewers, and compliance with indexing requirements.
  • Editorial Board Members – recognised scholars from different institutions who advise on journal strategy, review manuscripts, and promote the journal. The Board should include members from outside the publisher's institution.
  • Reviewers – independent experts who evaluate manuscripts under a double-blind peer review process. The list of reviewers is published on the Reviewer Team
  • Technical Team – copyeditors, layout editors, proofreaders, IT support, and graphic designer who prepare accepted manuscripts for publication.

Editorial independence.
The publisher provides the journal’s website and hosting, DOI registration through the university’s Technical Implementation Unit for Information and Communication Technology (UPT TIK), and administrative support, but does not interfere in editorial decisions. Decisions to accept or reject manuscripts rest solely with the editors, based on peer review and the journal’s Aims and Scope.

Funding.
Article processing charges (APC) are paid by authors only after their manuscript has been accepted, as described on the Article Processing Charge. The APC is paid directly to Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur, which manages the funds and covers the journal’s publication infrastructure. The journal does not receive any other funding. Payment of the APC has no influence on editorial decisions. BAJ does not carry advertising.
