Publication Ethic
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.
Author
- Reporting Standards: Writers must present accurate reports and data from research results. Articles of research results must contain detailed information and sufficient references. Deliberate fraud of the contents of a manuscript is unethical and unacceptable behavior.
- Originality and Plagiarism : Authors must ensure the originality of their writing and provide clear information/sources when using quotations. Authors are not allowed to publish their research papers in more than one journal because submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable behavior.
- Acknowledgment of Sources : Acknowledgment of the work of other parties must always be included. Authors must cite publications that have been used as the basis for making a scientific work.
- Authorship of the Paper: Written work should be limited to researchers who have made a significant contribution 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 study, must be recognized or registered as contributors. The primary author must ensure that the co-author is eligible for inclusion on the list of investigators and all authors must view and approve the final version of the manuscript for publication.
- Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest : Each author must disclose in their manuscript any substantive financial or interest that might be construed to influence the outcome of a manuscript.
- Fundamental errors in published works : If the author finds an error or inaccuracy in the published manuscript, the author is expected to notify the editor of the journal or publisher and work with the editor to withdraw or correct the manuscript
EDITOR
- Publication decisions : The editors are responsible for deciding the articles that have been accepted by the editorial board for publication. The editor can refer to the policies of the editorial board of the journal and is limited by applicable legal provisions regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. Editors may also confer with other editors or reviewers in making decisions.
- Fair play : Editors can at any time evaluate the contents of the manuscript regardless of the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, or political philosophy.
- Confidentiality : Editors and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about manuscripts submitted to parties other than authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial advisors and publishers.
- Disclosure and conflicts of interest : Material in manuscripts submitted and not published in journals may not be used in editor research, without written consent from the author.
REVIEWER
- Contribution to Editorial Decisions : The reviewer assists 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 results of the review.
- Promptness : Any reviewer who feels that he does not meet the requirements to review research reported in a manuscript or to review a manuscript quickly, must notify the editor and not be involved in the review process. Invited reviewers must also confirm their willingness/unwillingness to review articles.
- Confidentiality : Every manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. These manuscripts do not have to be displayed or discussed with other parties unless permission is obtained from the editor.
- Standards of Objectivity : Assessments must be made objectively. The author is not allowed to criticize personally. Reviewers must provide clear information about the results of the review along with supporting arguments.
- Acknowledgment of Sources: The reviewer must identify relevant published papers and those that have not been cited by the author. Statements about previously reported observations, derivations or arguments must be accompanied by relevant citations. The reviewer must also coordinate with the editor regarding the substantial similarity between the manuscript under consideration and other articles that have been published to the best of the knowledge of the editor and reviewer.
- Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Information or ideas obtained from peer reviewers must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers are not permitted to consider a manuscript caused by a conflict of interest, collaborative, or other interests with the author, company, or related institution.
