Publication Ethic

Publication Ethic

This statement clarifies ethical behaviour of all parties involved in the act of publishing an article in our journals, including the authors, the editors, the peer-reviewers and the publisher. This statement is based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

 

Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication

Publishing an article in the double-blind peer-reviewed Journal of Education and Teacher Training Innovation (JETTI)    represents a vital contribution to developing a coherent and respected knowledge network. Published works directly reflect the quality of research conducted by authors and their supporting institutions. Since peer-reviewed articles uphold scientific methodology, establishing clear ethical standards for all participants in the publication process - authors, editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and the academic community - is essential.

 

PT. Pusmedia Group Indonesia, as JETTI's publisher, takes its oversight responsibilities throughout all publishing stages with utmost seriousness, fully acknowledging both ethical and professional obligations. We maintain strict separation between commercial interests (including advertising and reprint revenue) and editorial decisions. Furthermore, our Editorial Board actively facilitates communication with other journals and publishers when beneficial to the academic community.

 

Publication Decisions

The editorial team of the Journal of Education and Teacher Training Innovation (JETTI)  holds ultimate responsibility for publication decisions regarding submitted manuscripts. These decisions must be primarily driven by two key factors: the validity of the research and its significance to the journal's academic audience. While making these decisions, editors work within the framework established by the journal's editorial policies and must comply with legal requirements concerning defamation, copyright protection, and plagiarism prevention. In reaching their final decisions, editors may seek input from fellow editors or reviewers to ensure thorough evaluation of submissions.


Fair Play

Editors assess manuscripts solely based on their intellectual merit and scholarly content. The evaluation process is conducted without any bias regarding the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic background, nationality, or political views.

Confidentiality
Strict confidentiality must be maintained by editors and editorial staff regarding all submitted manuscripts. Information about submissions can only be shared with authorized parties, specifically: the corresponding author, assigned reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial advisers, and the publisher when necessary.

 

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest Editors are not allowed to use any unpublished material from submitted manuscripts for their own research, unless they get specific written permission from the authors first.

 

Reviewer Responsibilities

Contributing to Editorial Decisions The peer review process helps editors make decisions about manuscripts. Through communications between editors and authors, reviewers also help writers improve their papers.

  • Timeliness If a reviewer doesn't have the right expertise to evaluate a manuscript, or knows they won't be able to review it quickly, they should inform the editor and withdraw from reviewing that paper.

  • Maintaining Confidentiality All manuscripts that reviewers receive must be kept confidential. Reviewers cannot share or discuss these manuscripts with others unless the editor gives permission.

     

Being Objective Reviews must be done fairly and without bias. Reviewers should not make personal attacks on authors. They should clearly explain their opinions with supporting evidence.

 

Recognizing Previous Work Reviewers should point out any important published work that the authors haven't cited. When noting that an idea or finding has been reported before, reviewers should include the proper citation. They should also tell the editor if they notice significant similarities between the manuscript being reviewed and any other published papers they know about.

 

Privacy and Conflicts of Interest Any private information or ideas found during peer review must be kept secret and not used for the reviewer's own benefit. Reviewers shouldn't evaluate manuscripts where they have conflicts of interest due to competition, collaboration, or other connections with the authors, companies, or institutions involved in the paper.

 

Duties of Authors

Standards for Reporting Research When reporting original research, authors must give a truthful account of their work and discuss its importance objectively. The data in the paper must be presented accurately. The paper should include enough details and references so others can repeat the work. Making false statements or knowingly including incorrect information is unethical and not allowed.

Managing and Sharing Data Authors should be ready to provide their raw data for the editorial review process. They should also be willing to make this data publicly available where possible (following the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases). Even if public sharing isn't possible, authors should keep their data for a reasonable period after their paper is published.

 

Original Work and Plagiarism Authors must ensure their work is completely original. When using other people's work or words, they must properly cite or quote them.

 

Publishing the Same Research Multiple Times Authors should not publish the same research in multiple journals. Submitting the same paper to several journals at once is unethical and not allowed.

 

Giving Credit Authors must always properly acknowledge others' work and cite publications that influenced their research.

 

Who Gets Credit as an Author Only people who significantly contributed to the study's planning, design, execution, or analysis should be listed as authors. All major contributors should be named as co-authors. Others who helped with specific parts of the research should be listed as contributors or acknowledged. The main author must make sure that:

  • All proper co-authors are included

  • No improper co-authors are added

  • All co-authors have reviewed and approved the final paper

  • All co-authors agree to submit it for publication

 

Safety Warnings Authors must clearly point out in their manuscript any dangerous chemicals, procedures, or equipment used in their research.

 

Revealing Conflicts of Interest Authors must disclose any financial or other significant conflicts of interest that could affect their results or how their research is interpreted. They must also reveal all sources of funding for their project.

 

Correcting Published Mistakes If authors find a serious error in their published work, they must quickly inform the journal editor or publisher and work with them to either withdraw or correct the paper.
