Publication Ethics
Community Service Journal (CSJ) is a peer-reviewed journal. This journal follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which addresses all aspects of publication ethics and, in particular, how to handle cases of research and publication misconduct. This statement explains the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the publication of articles in this journal, including authors, the Editor-in-Chief, the Editorial Board, peer reviewers, and the publisher (Penerbit Jurnal Indonesia). This journal is dedicated to following best practices in terms of ethics, errors, and retractions. Preventing publication errors is one of the important responsibilities of the editorial board. Any form of unethical behavior is unacceptable, and the journal does not tolerate plagiarism in any form.
TLJR adapts COPE to meet high-quality ethical standards for publishers, editors, authors, and reviewers. As an important issue, publication ethics need to be clearly explained to enhance the quality of research worldwide. In this section, we explain the standards for editors, authors, and reviewers. The publisher does not have the right to interfere with the integrity of the content and only supports timely publication.
For Editors
Based on the review report from the editorial board, the editor can accept, reject, or request modifications to the manuscript. 2. Editors must be responsible for every article published in PPM. 3. Editors can communicate with other editors or reviewers in making the final decision. 4. An editor must evaluate manuscripts objectively for publication, assessing each based on its quality without regard to the author's nationality, ethnicity, political beliefs, race, religion, gender, seniority, or institutional affiliation. He must decline his duties when there is a potential conflict of interest. 5. The editor needs to ensure that the document sent to the reviewer does not contain information about the author, and vice versa. 6. The editor's decision must be communicated to the author along with comments from the reviewer, unless the comments contain offensive or defamatory statements. 7. The editor must respect the author's request that certain individuals do not review the submission, if the request is reasonable and feasible. 8. Editors and all staff must ensure the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts. 9. The editor will be guided by the COPE flowchart in case of any alleged misconduct or authorship disputes.
For the Reviewer
Reviewers need to comment on ethical questions and potential research and publication violations. 1. Reviewers will complete their work on time and must inform the editor if they are unable to complete the task. 2. Reviewers need to maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript. 3. Reviewers must not agree to review a manuscript where there is a potential conflict of interest between them and one of the authors.
For the Author
- The authors declare that the material has not been published elsewhere and that they have not transferred the rights to the article to another party. 2. The authors must ensure the originality of the work and they have correctly cited the works of others according to the reference format. 3. Authors must not engage in plagiarism or self-plagiarism. 4. Authors must ensure that they adhere to the writing criteria derived from CSJ as outlined in the CSJ author guidelines. 5. Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. It is also expected that authors will not publish manuscripts describing the same research in more than one journal. 6. Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. Others who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. The authors also ensure that all authors have seen and approved the submitted version of the manuscript and included their names as co-authors. 7. The authors do not suggest personal information that could make the patient's identity recognizable in the form of descriptions, photos, or genealogies. 8. The author must provide the editor with data and work details if there is suspicion of data falsification or fabrication. 9. If at any time the author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in the submitted manuscript, such errors or inaccuracies must be reported to the editor. 10. Journal authors must disclose anything that could cause a conflict of interest, such as employment, research funding, consulting fees, and intellectual property, in the CSJ disclosure form.
