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 should present accurate reports and data from the research results. The research article should contain detailed information and sufficient references. Deliberate fraud against the content of a manuscript is unethical and unacceptable behavior.
2. Originality and Plagiarism : Authors should ensure the originality of their work and provide clear information/sources if using quotations. Authors should not 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. Acknowledgement of Sources : Proper acknowledgement of the work of others must always be provided. Authors should cite publications that have been used as the basis for the preparation of a scientific paper.
4. Authorship of the Paper : The paper should be limited to researchers who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All researchers who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Researchers who participate in substantive aspects of a study should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The lead author should ensure that co-authors are indeed eligible to be included in 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 : Authors should disclose in their manuscript any substantive financial or other interests that might be construed to influence the results of their manuscript.
6. Fundamental errors in published works : If an author discovers an error or inaccuracy in a published work, the author is expected to notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
EDITOR
1. Publication decisions : The editors are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the editorial board should be published. Editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editors may also confer with other editors or reviewers in making decisions.
2. Fair play : Editors may at any time evaluate the content of manuscripts without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
3. Confidentiality : The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the author, reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial advisers, and the publisher.
4. Disclosure and conflicts of interest : Unpublished material in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.
REVIEWERS
1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions : Reviewers assist the editor in making editorial decisions and, through the editorial communications with the author, may assist the author in improving the paper. Reviewers are also expected to provide suggestions for improvements to the paper.
2. Promptness : Any reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or to review the manuscript promptly should notify the editor and not be involved in the review process. Invited reviewers should also confirm their willingness or unwillingness to review the paper.
3. Confidentiality : Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except with the permission of the editor.
4. Standards of Objectivity : Reviews should be conducted objectively. Authors should not engage in self-criticism. Reviewers should provide clear information about the results of their reviews along with supporting arguments.
5. Acknowledgement of Sources : Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement of previously reported observations, derivations, or arguments should be accompanied by relevant citations. Reviewers should also communicate with the editors about any substantial similarity between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which the editors and reviewers have knowledge.
6. Disclosure and Conflict of Interest : Privileged information or ideas obtained from peer reviewers must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which there is a conflict of interest, collaboration, or other interest with any of the authors, companies, or institutions.
