Publication Ethics

JTERA (Jurnal Teknologi dan Rekayasa) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against any publication malpractices. All authors submitting their works to JTERA for publication as original articles attest that the submitted works represent their authors' contributions and have not been copied or plagiarized in whole or in part from other works.

1. Duties of Authors

  • Reporting Standards: Authors of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance.

  • Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works. If authors have used the work and/or words of others, this must be appropriately cited or quoted. JTERA uses Turnitin to check for similarities.

  • Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication.

  • Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data.

  • Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study.

2. Duties of Editors

  • Fair Play: An editor at any time evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

     

  • Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher.

     

  • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

  • Publication Decisions: The editor-in-chief is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published based on the validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers.

3. Duties of Reviewers

  • Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

  • Promptness: Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

  • Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents.

  • Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

4. Handling Ethical Issues

  • Identification of Unethical Behavior: Unethical publishing behavior (plagiarism, data fabrication, etc.) may be identified and brought to the attention of the editor and publisher at any time, by anyone.

  • Investigation: The editor, in consultation with the publisher, will take reasonably responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

  • Sanctions: In cases of proven misconduct, the journal may publish a formal correction, a retraction of the article, or a formal notice of the misconduct.
