Publication Ethics

Based on the Regulation of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences of the Republic of Indonesia Number 3 of 2021 concerning Management of Electronic Scientific Journals and following the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) in all matters relating to publication ethics, especially in research and publication error protocols, JIPPI adapted COPE to meet the high ethical standards intended for editors, authors, and peer reviewers. The publisher has no right to disturb the integrity of the content of the article and is only responsible for publishing it regularly and on time.

Journal Publication Ethics Guidelines

Publishing articles in peer-reviewed journals published by Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara is one way of increasing competence in improving the quality of teachers and lecturers in producing written work. The articles produced are a manifestation of the application of scientific research carried out in learning environments and in society. The parties involved: author, journal editor, reviewer, and publisher. Jurnal Inovasi Pembelajaran dan Pendidikan Islam [JIPPI] on this occasion carries out the task of ensuring that all stages of publication run well according to the responsibilities of each component.

Writer's Duties

Reporting Standards

The author of an original research report must present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be represented accurately on the paper. A paper should contain enough detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Deceptive or intentionally inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable behavior. Reviews and professional publication articles must also be accurate and objective, and editorial 'opinion' works must be clearly identified.

Data Access and Retention

Authors may be asked to provide raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original work, and if the author has used the work and/or words of others, that these have been appropriately cited or cited. Plagiarism takes many forms, ranging from 'passing off' someone else's paper as the author's own paper, copying or paraphrasing important parts of another person's paper (without attribution), to claiming the results of research conducted by someone else. Plagiarism in all its forms is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

Multiple, Redundant, or Simultaneous Publication

An author may not generally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior. In general, an author may not submit for consideration to another journal a previously published paper.

Source Acknowledgment

Proper recognition of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the work reported. Information obtained privately, such as in conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties, may not be used or reported without explicit written permission from the source. Information obtained during confidential service, such as reference manuscripts or grant applications, may not be used without the express written permission of the author of the work involved in this service.

Paper Writing

Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, implementation, or interpretation of the reported study. All persons who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author must ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have approved its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that must be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed as early as possible.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in his published work, it is the author's obligation to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains significant errors, it is the author's obligation to immediately retract or correct the paper or provide the editor with evidence of the correctness of the original paper.

Editor's Duties

Publication Decisions

Peer-reviewed journal editors are responsible for deciding which articles submitted to a journal should be published, often in collaboration with the relevant society (for society-owned or sponsored journals). Validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive such decisions. Editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and limited by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may consult with other editors or reviewers (or community officials) in making this decision.

Permainan Adil

An editor should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality

Editors and any editorial staff should not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Editors should recuse themselves (i.e. should ask a fellow editor, associate editor or other editorial board member to review and consider) from considering manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest due to a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship or connection with one of the authors, companies, or (possibly) the institution associated with the paper. Editors should require all contributors to disclose relevant competing interests and publish corrections if competing interests.
