Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics Statement

Jurnal Sosial Humaniora Terapan publishes scientific articles in the scope of general science. This statement is based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. Our responsibility is to publish original work of value to the intellectual community in the best possible form and to the highest possible standards.

  • Authorship

    • The author is responsible for ensuring that every manuscript submitted to JSHT includes: a guarantee of originality, recognized assistance from co-authors and editors, necessary citations, and is entirely free from plagiarism. The author must understand that plagiarism occurs in various forms, including improper paraphrasing, which can lead to misinterpretation of the source. In addition, authors should be careful when deliberately publishing information that may harm the person mentioned in their academic work. This information cannot be made public without the written and express permission of the persons associated.

    JSHT uses a stringent code of conduct on how to spread knowledge. It is always with a deep editorial awareness that all published manuscripts must meet highly qualified academic standards to protect the integrity of the Journal and the author.

  • Editorship

    • Editor in Chief determines which articles should or should not be published. Before this publication stage, the Editor in Chief should also be responsible for deciding which submissions to JSHT should be sent to the Reviewer for further assessment and which other submissions should be rejected for not meeting the standards of the draft manuscript.

    Editors must be accountable and responsible for everything published in JSHT. To ensure that editors can achieve all ethical standards, they must operate under the standards of a double-blind review process to ensure the quality of the manuscript and decide whether it will be accepted or rejected solely based on its originality, quality, and prospects for the dissemination of knowledge to readers. Editors are prohibited from implementing discriminatory policies by prioritizing or discouraging specific authors based on religion, creed, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or personal background.

    All editorial board members are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of all authors. Without the author's explicit consent, they may not disclose all unpublished manuscripts to third parties.

    Ethics policies may also require Editors to double-review manuscripts before making a decision. Editors are often asked to communicate with reviewers and writers to clarify and enrich the substance of the manuscript. This communication will not diminish the Editor's authority to accept or reject the manuscript.

  • Reviewer

    • All reviewers should know they are only mandated to review the substance, not the manuscript's layout or the language's spelling. The copy editor will resolve the format, while spelling and grammar errors will be checked by the copy editor or language corrector.

    All reviewers cannot disclose the confidentiality of author information. They are also restricted from disclosing the confidentiality of rejected manuscripts to third parties without the author's explicit consent. They can still explain the review standards and the reasons for the rejection or acceptance of specific submissions anonymously to third parties.

    All reviewers may reject an offer from the editorial office to review the manuscript if they think there will be a potential conflict of interest between the Reviewer and the author. They may also decline an offer to review a manuscript if they believe their review work will not help the author enrich the manuscript's substance.

      Fair Play for Authors

      Editors always evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content regardless of the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

      Concealment

      Any editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about the submitted manuscript to anyone other than the appropriate author, Reviewer, prospective Reviewer, other editorial advisors, and publishers, as appropriate.

      Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

      Unpublished material disclosed in submitted manuscripts may not be used in the Editor's research without the author's written consent.
