Publication Ethics
The ethics of publishing an article in a scientific journal is an important reference. This is necessary to standardize ethical behavior for all parties involved in the publication of this scientific journal, namely: authors, editors, reviewers.
WRITER
1. Reporting Standards: Authors must present accurate reports and data from research results. Articles resulting from the research must contain detailed information and sufficient references. Intentional deception of the contents of a manuscript is unethical and unacceptable behavior.
2. Originality and Plagiarism: Writers must ensure the originality of their written work and provide clear information/sources when using quotations. Authors are not permitted to publish their research manuscripts in more than one journal because submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable behavior.
3. Acknowledgment of Sources: Appropriate acknowledgment of the work of others should always be included. Authors must cite publications that have been used to base the creation of their scientific work.
4. Authorship of the Paper: Written work must be limited to researchers who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, implementation, or interpretation of the research being reported. All researchers who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. Researchers who participate in substantive aspects of a research must be recognized or registered as contributors. The primary author must ensure that co-authors are eligible to be included on the list of researchers and all authors must see and approve the final version of the manuscript to be published.
5. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Each author must disclose in their manuscript any substantive financial or interests that might be construed to influence the outcome of a manuscript.
6. Fundamental errors in published works: If the author finds errors or inaccuracies in the published manuscript, the author is expected to notify the journal editor or publisher and work together with the editor to retract or correct the manuscript
EDITOR
1. Publication decisions: Editors are responsible for deciding on articles that have been accepted by the editorial board for publication. Editors can refer to the policies of the journal's editorial board and are limited by applicable legal provisions regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. Editors may also consult with other editors or reviewers in making decisions.
2. Fair play: The editor can at any time evaluate the contents of the manuscript without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, nationality or political philosophy of the author.
3. Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff do not have to disclose any information about the submitted manuscript to any party other than the author, reviewer, potential reviewer, editorial advisor and publisher.
4. Disclosure and conflicts of interest: Material in manuscripts that are submitted and not published in the journal, may not be used in the editor's research, without written approval from the author.
REVIEWER
1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Reviewers assist the editor in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with the author, can help the author improve the manuscript. Reviewers are also expected to provide suggestions for improvements to the review results.
2. Promptness: Any reviewer who feels they are not qualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or carry out an expedited review of the manuscript, must notify the editor and not be involved in the review process. Invited reviewers must also confirm their willingness/unwillingness to review the article.
3. Confidentiality: Every manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. These manuscripts must not be displayed or discussed with other parties unless permission is obtained from the editor.
4. Standards of Objectivity: Reviews must be carried out objectively. The author is not permitted to criticize personally. Reviewers must provide clear information about the results of the review along with supporting arguments.
5. Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers must identify relevant published papers that have not been cited by the author. Statements about previously reported observations, derivations or arguments should be accompanied by relevant citations. Reviewers must also coordinate with the editor regarding substantial similarities between the manuscript under consideration and other articles that have been published to the knowledge of the editor and reviewer.
6. Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Information or ideas obtained from review partners must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers are not permitted to consider a manuscript due to a conflict of interest, collaboration, or other interests with the author, company, or related institution.
