Publication Ethics
JICAI adheres to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Core Practices and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing.
Authors must:
- Submit only original, unpublished work, fully and accurately citing the work of others.
- Disclose all funding sources and conflicts of interest.
- Ensure all listed authors have made a substantive contribution and have approved the final submitted version.
- Disclose any use of generative AI tools in manuscript preparation, specifying which tool was used and for what purpose (AI tools may not be listed as authors).
- Promptly notify the editors of any significant error discovered after publication and cooperate with corrections or retraction.
Reviewers must:
- Evaluate manuscripts objectively, free from personal or institutional bias.
- Maintain strict confidentiality and not use unpublished material from the manuscript for personal benefit.
- Declare any conflict of interest and decline review where one exists.
Editors must:
- Evaluate manuscripts solely on academic merit, irrespective of authors' nationality, institution, religion, gender, or political belief.
- Maintain confidentiality of the review process.
- Act on allegations of misconduct following COPE guidelines, regardless of when the issue is identified relative to publication.
Allegations of Research Misconduct
Allegations of plagiarism, data fabrication/falsification, citation manipulation, or duplicate submission are investigated by the Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board following COPE guidelines. The accused author(s) are given the opportunity to respond before any decision is made. Confirmed misconduct may result in rejection, retraction, correction, or an expression of concern, and may be reported to the author's institution.
Ethical Concern Reporting
Concerns about possible misconduct relating to a JICAI submission or publication may be reported to contact@nusacendekia.com. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated by the Editorial Board.
