Publication Ethics

This statement describes the ethical behaviour of all parties involved in the act of publishing articles in our journals, including authors, editors, peer-reviewers, and Publishers. This statement is based on the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

JOURNAL PUBLICATION ETHICS GUIDELINES

Publication of articles in peer-reviewed journals is an important model for JAPSI in the development of coherent and respected knowledge networks. A publication is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors together with the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree on the standards of ethical behaviour expected of all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, peer-reviewers, publishers and the public.

The Master of Administrative Science Study Programme as the publisher of JAPSI takes its duty of guardianship over all stages of publishing very seriously and we are aware of our ethical and other responsibilities. JAPSI is committed to ensuring that advertising, reprints, or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, the Editorial Board will assist communication between the journal and other parties such as other journals and/or publishers as useful and necessary.

• Publication decision

JAPSI editors are responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validity of the work concerned and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive such decisions. The editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by legal requirements that will apply regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. Editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making these decisions.

• Fair play

An editor at all times evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

• Confidentiality 

Editors and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors and the publisher, as appropriate.

• Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished material disclosed in the submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author.

TUGAS PENULIS

• Reporting Standard

The author of the original research report must present an accurate account of the work done as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be accurately represented in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. False or deliberately inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behaviour.

• Data Access and Retention

Authors are requested to provide raw data in relation to papers for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (in accordance with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), where possible, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

• Originality and Plagiarism

Authors should ensure that they have written wholly original work, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, that such work has been appropriately cited or quoted to the standards set by JAPSI.

• Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publications

An author should not generally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one major journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behaviour.

• Source Recognition

Proper acknowledgement of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

• Paper Writing

Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, conduct or interpretation of the reported study. All persons who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are other people who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be recognised or listed as contributors. Correspondence authors should ensure that all appropriate 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.

• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might construe the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed. 

• Fundamental Errors in Published Work

When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in his or her published work, the author is obliged to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and co-operate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

EDITOR JOB

• Fair play

An editor at all times evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

• Confidentiality 

Editors and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors and the publisher, as appropriate.

• Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished material disclosed in the submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author.

• Publication Decision

The journal's editorial board is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validity of the work concerned and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive such decisions. The editors may be guided by the journal's editorial board policy and constrained by legal requirements that would apply regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. Editors may confer with other reviewing editors in making these decisions.

• Manuscript Review

Editors should ensure that each manuscript is initially evaluated by the editor for originality. Editors should organise and use peer review fairly and judiciously.

REVIEWER DUTIES

• Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review helps editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also help authors in improving papers.

• Speed

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that immediate review is not possible, should inform the editor and withdraw from the review process.

• Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review should be treated as confidential documents. They should not be shown or discussed with others except as authorised by the editor.

• Objectivity Standard

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of authors is not appropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

• Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also bring to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and other published papers if they have personal knowledge.

• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest resulting from a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship or connection with any author, company, or institution associated with the paper.
