One-Author-Only Policy

At CEOWORLD Magazine, we uphold the highest standards of editorial integrity, accountability, and clarity of authorship. To maintain these standards and ensure a consistent reader experience, we enforce the following One-Author-Only Policy for all article submissions:

1. Single Author Attribution
All submitted articles, op-eds, and contributions must be attributed to one individual author only. Joint authorship or multiple bylines are not permitted under any circumstances.

2. Authorship Definition
The listed author must be the sole creator of the submitted content. This includes:

• Original writing and research
• Opinions and analyses expressed in the article
• Responsibility for the accuracy and authenticity of the content

The author must be prepared to engage with editors regarding revisions, fact-checking, and follow-up communications.

3. Ghostwriting and Third-Party Contributions
Articles written by ghostwriters or on behalf of others must still be submitted under a single, named author who assumes full responsibility for the content. Any undisclosed third-party contributions may result in rejection or removal of the article.

4. Editorial Exceptions
While CEOWORLD Magazine may occasionally publish interviews, roundtables, or features involving multiple perspectives, these will be edited and published by a designated staff editor or under a single-author byline.

5. Enforcement
Submissions that violate this policy will be returned without review or removed from consideration. Repeated violations may result in a temporary or permanent ban on future submissions.

For any questions regarding this policy, please contact the CEOWORLD Magazine editorial team at info@ceoworld.biz

Here’s why the policy exists:

1. To Ensure Clear Responsibility and Accountability
With a single author, it’s always clear who is responsible for the content. This helps our editorial team maintain high standards of factual accuracy, originality, and ethical writing.

2. To Streamline Editorial Communication
Working with one author per article makes it easier to manage revisions, approvals, and correspondence. It avoids delays and confusion that often arise with co-authors.

3. To Maintain a Strong, Cohesive Voice
A single-author structure leads to articles with a more consistent tone, argument, and perspective—something our readers expect from high-quality business journalism.

4. To Promote Author Credibility
By giving full credit to one contributor, we support their personal brand and professional recognition. This benefits both the author and CEOWORLD Magazine by building trust with readers.

5. To Avoid Authorship Conflicts
Multiple authors can lead to disagreements over contribution levels, byline placement, and editorial decisions. A one-author policy eliminates these potential issues.

6. To Uphold Editorial Integrity
This policy discourages ghostwriting, outsourced content creation, and undisclosed collaboration, ensuring that what readers see truly reflects the voice and expertise of the named author.

7. To Simplify Legal and Copyright Matters
Having one legal author simplifies rights management, licensing, and content use across platforms.

This policy reflects our values of transparency, professionalism, and editorial excellence. It’s designed to protect the interests of our authors, editors, and readers alike.
