Publication Ethics

Juwarisa: Jurnal Warisan dan Kebudayaan is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in scholarly publishing. The journal follows the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and is published by the Konsorsium Pengetahuan Innoscientia. All parties involved in the publication process—authors, reviewers, editorial board members, and the editor-in-chief—are expected to act with integrity and professionalism.

1. Author Responsibilities

• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is original and free from plagiarism. Any work or words from other authors, contributors, or sources must be appropriately cited.
• Accuracy of Data: Authors are responsible for presenting accurate data and providing sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work.
• Ethical Standards: Authors must ensure that their research complies with ethical standards, particularly in relation to the use of human or animal subjects, and obtain necessary ethical clearances.
• Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest: Authors must disclose any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that may influence the results or interpretation of their research.
• Reporting Errors: If authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work, they are obliged to promptly notify the journal’s editorial team and cooperate in correcting or retracting the paper.

2. Reviewer Responsibilities

• Confidentiality: Reviewers must treat all manuscripts as confidential documents. Manuscripts should not be disclosed to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
• Objective Evaluation: Reviews must be conducted objectively, with constructive feedback provided to improve the manuscript. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate.
• Conflict of Interest: Reviewers should inform the editor of any conflicts of interest, such as competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, that could bias their judgment.
• Timeliness: Reviewers are expected to complete their reviews within the agreed-upon time frame. If a reviewer feels unqualified or unable to meet the deadline, they should notify the editor immediately.

3. Editorial Board Member Responsibilities

• Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Editorial board members are expected to assist the editor-in-chief in making editorial decisions and, when necessary, provide specialized expertise.
• Promoting the Journal: Board members should actively promote the journal in their professional networks to attract high-quality submissions.
• Conflict of Interest: Editorial board members must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may affect their ability to evaluate manuscripts impartially.
• Confidentiality: Like reviewers, board members must treat submitted manuscripts confidentially and refrain from using unpublished materials disclosed in a manuscript for their own research without the author’s explicit consent.

4. Editor-in-Chief Responsibilities

• Fair Play: The editor-in-chief is responsible for making editorial decisions based on the intellectual content of manuscripts, without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, or political philosophy of the authors.
• Confidentiality: The editor-in-chief must ensure that the identities of reviewers remain confidential and that submitted manuscripts are only disclosed to relevant parties involved in the publication process.
• Decision-Making: The editor-in-chief has the final responsibility for accepting or rejecting manuscripts, based on the reviewers’ reports and the journal’s policies.
• Addressing Ethical Issues: The editor-in-chief must take appropriate action if ethical concerns arise about a submitted or published paper, including investigating and correcting or retracting papers as necessary.
