Publication Ethics

To maintain manuscript quality and avoid publishing violations/plagiarism in the publishing process, the editorial board determines the scientific publication ethics of the Jurnal Governansi. These publication ethics rules apply to writers/authors, editors, review partners, and journal managers/editors. Publication ethics refers to the ethical provisions for scientific publications stipulated by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences' Council of Research Professors (MPR) in 2014.

Writer's Ethics

- Reporting; Authors must provide information about the process and results of their research to the editor honestly, clearly and thoroughly, and continue to store their research data properly and safely.

- Originality and plagiarism; The author must ensure that the manuscript that has been sent/submitted to the editor is an original manuscript, written by himself, sourced from his own thoughts and ideas, and not plagiarized from other people's written work or ideas. Authors are strictly prohibited from changing the names of cited reference sources to other people's names.

- Repetition of delivery; The author must inform that the manuscript sent/submitted to the editor is a manuscript that has never been sent/submitted to the publisher of another journal/publication. If there is a "redundancy" in sending a manuscript to another publisher, the editor will reject the manuscript sent by the author.

- Author status; The author must inform the editor that the author has competence or qualifications in a particular field of expertise that corresponds to the published field of science, namely librarianship. The author who sends the manuscript to the editor is the first author (co-author) so that if problems are found in the manuscript publishing process they can be resolved immediately.

- Script writing errors; The author must immediately inform the editor if errors are found in writing the manuscript, either as a result of review or editing. These writing errors include writing names, affiliations/agencies, quotations, and other writing that can reduce the meaning and substance of the text. If that happens, the author must immediately propose improvements to the manuscript.

- Disclosure of conflicts of interest; Authors must understand the above scientific publication ethics to avoid conflicts of interest with other parties, so that manuscripts can be processed smoothly and safely.

Editorial Ethics

Publication decisions; The editor must ensure that the manuscript review process is thorough, transparent, objective, fair and wise. This is the basis for the editor in making a decision on whether a manuscript is rejected or accepted. In this case, the editorial board acts as a manuscript selection team.
Publication information; The editor must ensure that manuscript writing guidelines for authors and other interested parties are accessible and available………. clearly, both printed and electronic versions.
Sharing peer-reviewed manuscripts; The editor must confirm the reviewer and the manuscript material for review, as well as clearly inform the reviewers of the terms and process of reviewing the manuscript.
Objectivity and neutrality; The editor must be objective, neutral and honest in editing the manuscript, without distinguishing between gender, business side, ethnicity, religion, race, inter-group and nationality of the author.
Confidentiality; Editors must safeguard all information properly, especially those related to the author's privacy and distribution of the manuscript.
Disclosure of conflicts of interest; Editors must understand the above scientific publication ethics to avoid conflicts of interest with other parties, so that the manuscript publishing process runs smoothly and safely.

 

Reviewer Ethics

- Objectivity and neutrality; Reviewers must be honest, objective, unbiased, independent, and only side with scientific truth. The manuscript review process is carried out professionally without distinguishing between gender, business side, ethnicity, religion, race, inter-group and nationality of the author.
- Clarity of reference sources; The reviewer must ensure that the source of the manuscript reference/citation is appropriate and credible (can be accounted for). If an error or deviation is found in writing the reference/citation source, the reviewer must immediately inform the editor so that corrections can be made by the author according to the reviewer's notes.
- Peer-review effectiveness; Reviewers must respond to manuscripts that have been sent by the editor and work according to the specified manuscript review (peer-review) time (maximum 2 weeks). If additional time is needed in reviewing the manuscript, you must immediately report (confirm) to the editorial secretariat.
- Disclosure of conflicts of interest; Reviewers must understand the above scientific publication ethics to avoid conflicts of interest with other parties, so that the manuscript publishing process runs smoothly and safely.

Journal Management Ethics

- Decision-making; The journal manager/editorial board must explain the mission and objectives of the organization, especially those related to determining policies and decisions on journal publication without any particular interests.
- Freedom; Journal managers must give reviewers and editors the freedom to create a comfortable working atmosphere and respect the privacy of authors.
- Guarantees and promotions; Journal managers must guarantee and protect intellectual property rights (copyright), as well as be transparent in managing funds received by third parties. Apart from that, journal managers must publish and promote publication results to the public by providing guarantees of the usefulness of using the manuscript.
- Disclosure of conflicts of interest; Journal managers must understand the above scientific publication ethics to avoid conflicts of interest with other parties, so that the manuscript publishing process runs smoothly and safely.
