Publication Ethics

The statement of the code of ethics for scientific publication is a statement of the code of ethics for all parties involved in the process of publishing scientific journals, including: Managers, Editors, Bestari Partners, and Writers/Authors. This statement of the code of ethics for scientific publication refers to the Regulation of the Head of LIPI Number 5 of 2014 concerning the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications, which in essence upholds three ethical values ​​in publication, namely:

1. Neutrality, which is free from conflicts of interest in managing publications;

2. Justice, which is giving authorship rights to those entitled as authors/writers; and
Honesty, which is free from Duplication, Fabrication, Falsification, and Plagiarism (DF2P) in publication.

3. This guide to the code of ethics for scientific publications is translated and adopted based on Elsevier's publication ethics policy which includes:

ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR EDITORS:

1. Publication Decisions. The Editor of the Journal of Management and Public Administration Science (JMIAP) is responsible for publishing and deciding which articles to publish from the articles received. This decision is based on validation of the article and the contribution of the article to researchers and readers. In carrying out their duties, Editors are guided by the policies of the editorial board and are subject to applicable legal provisions such as defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may discuss with reviewers or other editors in making such decisions.

2. Objective Assessment. Editors evaluate a manuscript based on its intellectual content without discrimination in terms of religion, ethnicity, tribe, gender, nation, and others.

3. Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a manuscript that has been received to anyone, other than the author, reviewers, potential reviewers, and the editorial board.

4. Conflict of Interest. Unpublished material submitted to the Journal of Management and Public Administration (JMIAP) must not be used for the editor's personal research without the written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 advantage. Editors must decline to review manuscripts if the editor has a conflict of interest, which is caused by a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship with the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the manuscript.

5. Cooperation in Investigations. Editors should take responsive action if there is a complaint regarding ethics in a manuscript that has been received or in a published article. The editor can contact the author of the manuscript and provide consideration for the complaint. The editor can also communicate further with the relevant institution or research organization. When the complaint has been resolved, things like publication of corrections, retractions, statements of concern, or other notes, need to be considered.

ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR REVIEWERS:

1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions. Blind peer review by reviewers assists the editor in making decisions and can assist the author in improving the paper through the editorial communications between the reviewer and the author. Peer review is an essential component of formal scholarly communication and the scientific approach.

2. Timeliness. If an assigned reviewer feels unqualified to review a manuscript or knows that it will be impossible to review it in a timely manner, the assigned reviewer should immediately notify the editor.

3. Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

4. Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should present their views clearly with supporting arguments.

5. Completeness and Originality of References. Reviewers should identify published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement of previously published observation or argument should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

6. Conflict of Interest. Unpublished material must not be used in a reviewer's own research without the express written permission of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the work.

ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR AUTHORS:

1. Writing Standards. Authors should present an accurate account of the research performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Research data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and adequate references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or inaccurate representations of the paper constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
2. Access to Research Data. Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for review and should provide public access to such data, if possible, and should be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
3. Originality and Plagiarism. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should ensure that all work presented to them is original and, if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited. Plagiarism takes many forms, including passing off the work of others as their own, copying or rewriting substantial parts of another's work without citing the source, and claiming research done by others. Self-Plagiarism or auto-plagiarism is a form of plagiarism. Auto-plagiarism is the act of paraphrasing or paraphrasing the work of one's own published work without citing the source.

4. Submission Requirements. An author should not publish the same manuscript in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

5. References. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in their work. Information obtained privately, as from conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties, must not be used or reported without the express written permission of the source.

6. Authorship. Authors are those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the work. All those who have made significant contributions are listed as co-authors. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have read and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

7. Hazards and Human Subjects. If the manuscript involves procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in its use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the manuscript involves human subjects, the author should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and that the relevant institutions and institutional committees have approved them. The author should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent for experimentation with human subjects has been obtained. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be respected. Consent, permission, and statements must be obtained if the author wishes to include case details or other personal information in the manuscript. Written consent must be retained by the author and a copy of the consent or evidence that it has been obtained must be provided to the journal on request.

8. Errors in Published Works. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's responsibility to promptly notify the journal editor and to cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor receives information from third parties that a published work contains a significant error, it is the author's responsibility to promptly retract or correct the paper or to provide evidence to the editor regarding the accuracy of the original paper.
