Publication Ethics

YJP Jurnal follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding publication ethics principles to maintain quality and handle cases of research and publication violations. YKP Jurnal adopts the COPE Principles of Publication Ethics to meet, guide, and support researchers, editors, reviewers, and parties involved in publication ethics to conduct their work responsibly and transparently. Publication ethics is essential to keeping research honest and trustworthy to produce high-quality articles that can be useful for all researchers and help progress scientific development.

Editors

  1. Editors must practice comprehensive practices aligned with the COPE principles to ensure integrity and transparency and adhere to COPE practices in assessing and making decisions.
  2. Editors must be responsible and transparent in publishing and contributor authors.
  3. Editors must ensure that the peer review process runs transparently (double-blind) by selecting reviewers who are in accordance with their field of expertise or knowledge and responsible for informing authors about the manuscript's status efficiently and in a timely manner.
  4. Editors must clearly define and provide guidelines for disclosing conflicts of interest to authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers.
  5. Editors must clarify data availability requirements and transparently outline copyrights and licenses to authors.
  6. Editors must ensure the originality, clarity, and relevance of the manuscript in accordance with the journal's focus and scope.
  7. Editors are prohibited from disclosing any information about the manuscript submitted to anyone.
  8. Editors ensure that published manuscripts do not engage in scientific violations (plagiarism) or research violations before publication.

Authors

  1. Authors are required to comply with the publication guidelines adopted by YKP Journal
  2. Authors must present the full manuscript of the publication honestly, responsibly, without fraud, without mistakes or data manipulation, and uphold the principles of publication set by YKP Journal
  3. Authors must ensure that the manuscript of the publication has never been published elsewhere and ensure that it is free from plagiarism (the plagiarism similarity index is a maximum of 15%).
  4. The publication manuscript sent to YKP Journal is an original manuscript that has never been published and sent to other publishers.
  5. The author is responsible for describing the method clearly so that the reviewer can confirm the findings in the manuscript.
  6. Authors must be willing to be requested for raw data by the editor during the review process. The writer must also convey the author's contribution (each individual) to the manuscript.
  7. Authors should disclose any financial interests that may affect the outcome of the manuscript review and ensure the funder has no role in interpreting the results of the experiment or interpretation of the manuscript. All sources of financial support must be explained and disclosed.
  8. The author must convey to the editorial board the inaccuracy of the manuscript before publication and make corrections. The author and the editorial board work together to withdraw the manuscript if they see any inaccuracies in the published manuscript.

Reviewer

  1. Peer reviewers are important in improving scientific publications in journals. The peer reviewer process is carried out by two reviewers recommended by the editor and in accordance with the reviewer's field of science or expertise (suitability with the manuscript).
  2. Reviewers ensure the journal uses the peer review model before approving the conduct of peer review and respect the peer review policy set by the journal.
  3. Reviewers are professionally responsible, follow the peer reviewer guidelines set by the journal, follow all the requirements listed, and are prohibited from disclosing their identity to the author.
  4. Reviewers must be willing to review and return the review manuscript within a predetermined and mutually agreed upon period of time.
  5. Reviewers are only willing to conduct reviews in accordance with the field of manuscript science submitted by the editor.
  6. Reviewers must avoid conflicts of interest when peer-reviewing the manuscript and must not praise it without first reading it.
  7. Ensure that the peer review process is reciprocal and conduct peer review in a fair, prudent, and professional manner. Reviewers can explain the parts that the author must revise.
  8. Reviewers can contribute intellectual works in assessing manuscripts to improve the quality of the reviewed manuscript.
  9. Reviewers can inform editors about scientific violations found in the manuscript and make recommendations to the editor.

Conflict of Interest

The statement of potential conflicts of interest in scientific publications follows the principles of operating transparency and accountability. An honest statement ensures that the reader is fully informed of the context and any potential bias as they read and make decisions based on the written material. COPE's Core Practice on conflicts of interest/competing interests states: "There should be a clear definition of conflicts of interest and processes for dealing with conflicts of interest of authors, reviewers, editors, journals, and publishers, whether identified before or after publication". Possible conflicts of interest include funding sources for research or other support, such as writing aid, and the author's financial or non-financial interests. When a conflict of interest is submitted, revised, or corrected during the peer review process, it must be considered during the re-assessment and revision of the manuscript.

Editors should consider retracting a publication if The author fails to disclose a primary conflicting interest (also known as a conflict of interest), which, in the editor's view, would unduly influence the interpretation of the work or recommendations by editors and peer reviewers. Retraction is usually inappropriate if The author's conflict of interest has been reported to the journal after publication. Still, in the editor's view, this is unlikely to affect the article's interpretation, recommendation, or conclusion.

Plagiarism

To check the possibility of plagiarism, the manuscript is submitted using the application Turnitin. The maximum similarity rate allowed in YKP Journal is 15%.
