Publication_Ethics

To ensure the quality of articles and to avoid publication ethics violations and plagiarism, the editorial board establishes publication ethics guidelines that must be followed by authors, editors, reviewers, and journal managers. These guidelines follow the standards set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and apply to all parties involved in the publication process in Jurnal DIKDAS.

Author Ethics

1. Reporting: Authors must present their research reports honestly, clearly, and completely. Research data must be stored securely and made available if requested.
2. Originality and Plagiarism: Submitted manuscripts must be original works, not plagiarized from other sources. All references used must be properly cited.
3. Multiple Submissions: Authors must ensure that the manuscript is not under review or published elsewhere. Multiple submissions will be rejected.
4. Authorship: Listed authors must have significantly contributed to the research and writing. The corresponding author is responsible for communication with the editorial team.
5. Errors in Manuscripts: If any error (names, affiliations, data, or citations) is found, authors must promptly notify the editorial team for correction.
6. Conflict of Interest: Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may affect the interpretation of their research.

Editor Ethics

1. Publication Decision: Editors are responsible for the final decision regarding manuscript acceptance based on scientific merit, not on non-academic factors.
2. Transparency: Editors must ensure that author guidelines are accessible and understandable.
3. Manuscript Distribution: Manuscripts should be sent to appropriate reviewers with relevant expertise.
4. Objectivity: Editors must act fairly regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, race, or nationality.
