Publication Ethics
Anfauhum Linnas: Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against any publication malpractices. This statement is based on the guidelines and core practices provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
1. Duties of Authors
- Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. All submitted manuscripts will be checked for similarity using Turnitin/iThenticate, with a maximum allowable similarity index of 25%.
- Multiple or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same community service program in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently is unethical.
- Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, execution, or interpretation of the reported community service. All co-authors must have seen and approved the final version of the paper.
- Fundamental Errors: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor to retract or correct the paper.
2. Duties of Editors
- Publication Decisions: The editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published, based on the validation of the work and its importance to researchers and readers.
- Fair Play: The editor 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, and the publisher, as appropriate.
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.
- Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
- Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
