Publication Ethics
Al-Manhaj: Jurnal Hukum dan Pranata Sosial Islam is a peer-reviewed electronic national journal. This statement clarifies the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing articles in this journal, including the authors, editor-in-chief, editorial board, peer reviewers and publishers (INSURI Ponorogo).
This statement is based on the COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The peer-reviewed publication of an article in the journal al-Manhaj is an important building block in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network.
This is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. The peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree on standards of ethical behavior expected for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers and the public.
INSURI Ponorogo as the publisher of al-Manhaj takes its duties as trustee over all stages of publishing very seriously and we are aware of our ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprints, or other commercial income does not impact or influence editorial decisions. In addition, the Editorial Board will assist in communication with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful and necessary.
Publication Decision
journal editor al-Manhaj is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to journals should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive such decisions. Editors may be guided by the discretion of the journal's editorial board and limited by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may consult other editors or reviewers in making this decision.
Fair game
Editors evaluate manuscripts at all times for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality
Editors and any editorial staff may not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the appropriate authors, reviewers, prospective reviewers, other editorial advisors and publishers, as appropriate.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Unpublished material disclosed in submitted manuscripts may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author.
Reviewer's Task
Peer reviewers assist editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also assist authors in improving papers.
Speed
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review research reported in a manuscript or knows that direct review is not possible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. They may not be shown or discussed with others except as permitted by the editor.
Objectivity Standard
The review must be carried out objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate.
Referees must express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Source Acknowledgment
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported must be accompanied by a relevant citation. The reviewer should also call the editor's attention any substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which he has personal knowledge.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest arising from competition, collaboration, or other relationships or connections with the authors, companies,
or any institution connected to the paper.
Writer's Task
Reporting standards: Authors of research reports must present an accurate report on the work done as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be represented accurately in the paper.
A paper must contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. False or intentionally inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Data Access and Retention
Authors are requested to provide raw data with respect to the paper for editorial review,
and must be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), where practicable, and must under no circumstances be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
Originality and Plagiarism
The authors must ensure that they have written the entirely original work, and if the author has used the work and/or words of others that this has been properly cited or cited.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publications
An author may not generally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or major publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
Source Acknowledgment
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
Paperwork
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, conduct, or interpretation of the reported research.
All who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they must be recognized or listed as contributors. Corresponding authors must ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have approved its submission for publication.
Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects
If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
All authors must disclose in their manuscripts any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that could be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscripts. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.
Fundamental errors in published works
When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in his self-published work, it is the author's obligation to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
