Publication Ethics

JISEI (Journal of Islamic Studies and Education Innovation) is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and academic integrity. This ethical statement applies to all parties involved in the publication process: authors, editors, peer reviewers, and the publisher. It is based on the guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

  1. Ethical Guidelines for Authors
  • Authors must ensure that their submitted manuscripts are original, accurate, and free from plagiarism. Proper citation and acknowledgment of sources are mandatory.
  • Manuscripts must not be submitted to more than one journal simultaneously (no double submission).
  • Only individuals who have made significant contributions to the research should be listed as authors. Other contributors should be acknowledged in the Acknowledgment section.
  • Authors must disclose any financial support and potential conflicts of interest.
  • In the event of significant errors or inaccuracies in a published manuscript, authors must promptly notify the editor and cooperate in retraction or correction processes.
  1. Ethical Guidelines for Editors
  • Editors are responsible for deciding which articles are suitable for publication based on scholarly merit and relevance to the journal’s scope, while considering legal requirements such as copyright and plagiarism.
  • Editors must evaluate submissions impartially and without discrimination based on race, gender, religion, institutional affiliation, or political views of the authors.
  • Editors must maintain the confidentiality of all submitted manuscripts and not use unpublished materials for personal purposes without written consent from the authors.
  • Editors are responsible for ensuring an objective, fair, and timely peer-review process and must select qualified reviewers free from any conflict of interest.
  1. Ethical Guidelines for Reviewers
  • Reviewers must conduct an objective and constructive evaluation of the manuscript and provide feedback in a timely manner.
  • Reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts and not use the content for personal gain or discuss it with unauthorized parties.
  • If reviewers suspect misconduct (e.g., plagiarism or duplicate publication), they must notify the editor immediately.
  • Reviewers should disclose any potential conflict of interest and decline to review if such conflicts exist.
  1. Ethical Guidelines for the Publisher
  • The publisher supports the editorial team in ensuring the integrity and quality of published content.
  • The publisher ensures that the publication process is free from commercial or political influence.
  • The publisher is responsible for handling ethical concerns appropriately and works in collaboration with editors and authors to investigate and resolve potential misconduct cases.
