Effective Date: 6 September 2026
Platform Terms

Conditions of Scholarly Access & Engagement

By accessing, reading, browsing, or submitting material to Grazing Minds Journal of Management Innovation and Technology, you formally enter into an agreement with Grazing Minds governing acceptable scholarly use, platform integrity, editorial limits, and legal jurisdiction.

01 Purpose & Scope of the Platform

This website is dedicated exclusively to the dissemination of peer-reviewed research, academic editorial policies, author submission workflows, and scholarly announcements at the intersection of management, innovation, and emerging technologies.

Grazing Minds reserves the right to refine, modify, suspend, or update these Terms of Use and platform features at any time without prior notice to reflect operational, technological, or statutory revisions.

02 Research Opinions & Publisher Disclaimer

All published articles, empirical studies, commentaries, and research notes reflect solely the individual scholarly perspectives, findings, and interpretations of their respective authors.

Publication within the Journal does not imply endorsement, verification, or factual validation by Grazing Minds, the editorial collegiate, or affiliated institutional entities of any specific management framework, predictive model, investment deduction, or commercial assertion presented.

03 Acceptable Use & Prohibited Conduct

Users and submitting authors must engage with the Journal platform in good faith and in compliance with international cyberlaw and academic ethics. You expressly agree not to engage in:

Systemic automated harvesting, bulk scraping, or extraction of metadata without explicit written permission.
Interference with server infrastructure, introducing malware, or probing vulnerabilities in submission gateways.
Impersonating another scholar, submitting fabricated institutional affiliations, or falsifying email headers.
Transmitting fraudulent manuscripts, plagiarized works, or violating copyright and intellectual property rights.

04 External Databases & Third-Party Services

The platform may reference or link to third-party academic registries (e.g., ORCID, Crossref, DOAJ), university databases, or external repositories. These external services are operated independently beyond our administrative control.

Grazing Minds assumes no legal responsibility for the technical uptime, content accuracy, security posture, or data privacy practices of external web entities.

05 Editorial Discretion & No Publication Guarantee

The formal submission of a manuscript through our electronic intake or direct email does not create any contractual obligation or guarantee of external peer review, acceptance, publication, volume inclusion, or indexing in third-party citation databases.

Publication outcomes remain entirely contingent upon the objective scholarly evaluations of independent referees and the final unencumbered discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.

06 Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Use, editorial interactions, and all related platform activities shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws applicable in India, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

Any legal dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the Journal's web infrastructure or publication process shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Maharashtra, India.
