Ethics for Authors

  1. Reporting Standards

    The author must present an accurate paper/article on the research conducted and present an objective discussion of the significance of the research. Research data must be presented accurately in the article. An article must be detailed enough with sufficient references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraud or inaccurate presentation of papers is unethical and unacceptable behavior.

  2. Data Access and Retention

    Authors may be asked to provide raw data for the writings to be reviewed and must be able to provide public access to such data where possible, and must be able to retain such data for a reasonable period of time after publication.

  3. Originality and Plagiarism

    Plagiarism is unethical behavior in the publication of scientific papers and cannot be accepted. The author must ensure that all work presented is original, and if the author has used the work and/or words of others, the author must present the quotation appropriately. Self-Plagiarism or auto plagiarism is a type of plagiarism that quotes sentences from their own published works without mentioning the source.

  4. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

    The authors are not allowed to publish the same manuscript in another journal unless there has been a decision to reject the manuscript from the journal. Submitting the same manuscript in more than one journal is unethical behavior in the publication of scientific papers and cannot be accepted.

  5. Acknowledgement of Sources

    Correct recognition of the work of others must always be done. Authors must mention the publications that were influential in composing their work. Information obtained privately, such as conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties, may not be used or reported without the written permission of the source of the information.

  6. Authorship of the Paper

    Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper.

  7. Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects

    If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the author should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines.

  8. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

    All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

  9. Use of AI Tools

    Authors must transparently disclose the use of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the manuscript preparation process in accordance with the journal's AI Usage Policy. AI tools cannot be listed as authors.

  10. Fundamental Errors in Published Works

    The author should notify us as soon as possible if they find errors in their published article, especially errors that could affect the interpretation of data or reliability of information presented. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to notify the journal editor to retract or correct the article, immediately.

Ethics for Reviewers

  1. Contribution to Editor's Decision

    Blind peer reviews by reviewers help editors in making decisions and can help authors improve their writing through editorial communication between reviewers and authors. Peer review is an important component of informal scientific communication (formal scholarly communication) and scientific approaches.

  2. Promptness

    If the assigned reviewer feels that he does not have the qualifications to review a manuscript or knows that it is impossible to do a review in a timely manner, the assigned reviewer must immediately inform the editor.

  3. Confidentiality

    Any manuscripts that have been received for review must be treated as confidential documents. The manuscript may not be shown to or discussed with others unless it has been authorized by the editor.

  4. Standards of Objectivity

    Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers must convey their views clearly along with supporting arguments.

  5. Completeness and Authenticity of Reference

    Reviewers must identify published works that have not been cited by the authors. A statement about previously published observations or arguments must be accompanied by relevant citations. The reviewer must notify the editor of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under review and other published papers, to the knowledge of the reviewer.

  6. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

    Unpublished article material may not be used in reviewers' personal research without the written permission of the author. Information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. A reviewer should refuse to review a manuscript if the reviewer has a conflict of interest, due to a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship with the author, company, or institution associated with the work.

Ethics for Editors

  1. Publication Decision

    The editor has the authority to select and decide the articles to be published. Decisions are made based on the level of article contributions and recommendations from reviewers. Editors carry out their duties in accordance with the policies of the journal Manager and comply with applicable legal provisions such as defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

  2. Fair Play

    The editor evaluates a text based on its intellectual content without any discrimination regarding race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

  3. Confidentiality

    Editors and editorial staff may not disclose any information about the manuscript that has been received to anyone, other than authors, reviewers, prospective reviewers, and the editorial board.

  4. Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

    Article material sent to this journal and not yet published may not be used for the editor's personal research without the written permission of the author. Information or ideas obtained through blind review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Editors must refuse to review the manuscript if the editor has a conflict of interest due to a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship with the author, company, or institution associated with the text.

  5. Cooperation in Investigation

    Editors must take responsive steps if there are complaints related to ethics in the manuscripts that have been received or in articles that have been published. The editor can contact the author and provide consideration for the complaint. Editors can also communicate further to related research institutions or institutions. Once the complaint has been resolved, matters such as publication of corrections, withdrawals, statements of concern, or other notes, need to be considered.

Ethics for Publisher

  1. Independence and Editorial Autonomy

    Balai Publikasi Indonesia is committed to ensuring that editorial decisions are based solely on the scientific merit of the work and are not influenced by commercial interests, advertising revenue, or political pressure. The publisher defines the relationship between publisher, editor, and other parties in a contract, respects privacy, protects intellectual property and copyright, and fosters editorial independence.

  2. Guardianship of the Scholarly Record

    The publisher works with the editors to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record. This includes supporting the publication of corrections, retractions, and expressions of concern when necessary. The publisher ensures that the content is preserved and accessible for the long term.

  3. Support and Resources

    The publisher provides the necessary resources, systems, and training to enable editors and reviewers to perform their duties effectively. This includes providing an online submission and peer-review system and ensuring the journal's website is maintained and secure.

  4. Handling Unethical Behavior

    In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism, the publisher, in close collaboration with the editors, will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation and to amend the article in question. This includes the prompt publication of an erratum, clarification, or, in the most severe case, the retraction of the affected work.
