Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. Therefore, it is important to establish standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and the academic community.
Universitas Jember, as the publisher of JLC, takes its responsibility for all stages of publishing seriously and recognizes its ethical and professional obligations. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprint, or other commercial revenues have no influence on editorial decisions.
Publication Decisions
The editor of JLC is responsible for deciding which submitted articles should be published. These decisions are based on the validation of the work, its academic quality, and its importance to researchers and readers. Editors may be guided by the journal’s editorial policies and constrained by legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor may consult with other editors or reviewers in making publication decisions.
Fair Play
Manuscripts are evaluated for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality
The editor and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor’s own research without the express written consent of the author.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and helps authors improve their manuscripts through constructive feedback.
Promptness
Any reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research or is unable to complete the review promptly should notify the editor and withdraw from the review process.
Confidentiality
Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents and must not be shared or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of authors is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly and support them with valid arguments.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published works not cited by the authors. Any similarity or overlap with other published works should be reported to the editor.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Information obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers must not evaluate manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors or institutions involved.
Duties of Authors
Reporting Standards
Authors must present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Data must be represented accurately, and sufficient detail must be provided to allow replication. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable.
Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original. If the work or words of others are used, they must be properly cited or quoted.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
Authors must not publish the same research in more than one journal or submit the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously. Such practices are unethical and unacceptable.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Relevant publications must be cited.
Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. All co-authors must approve the final manuscript and agree to its submission.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors must disclose any financial or other conflicts of interest that could influence the interpretation of their work. All sources of funding must be clearly stated.
Fundamental Errors in Published Works
If an author discovers a significant error in a published work, the author must promptly notify the journal editor and cooperate in correcting or retracting the article.
