Publication Ethics

Jurnal Pendidik Indonesia (JPI) is committed to scholarly integrity, fair editorial judgment, and a reliable publication record. The journal uses the guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) as a reference; this does not claim formal COPE membership.

1. Editors

Editors assess manuscripts on scholarly merit, relevance, methods, and journal policies without discrimination or improper influence. They protect unpublished work, manage conflicts of interest, select suitable reviewers, and make decisions independently of payment or personal interests. Credible concerns are assessed against available evidence.

2. Reviewers

Reviewers treat submissions and review records as confidential, provide objective and constructive assessments, disclose conflicts, and decline assignments outside their expertise or available time. They alert the editor to significant overlap or suspected irregularities without conducting an independent public accusation.

3. Authors

Authors report research accurately, cite sources, avoid fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, and concurrent submission, and secure applicable permissions, ethics approval, and consent. All listed authors must make genuine contributions and approve the submission. Authors provide accurate declaration statements and promptly inform the editor of material errors.

4. Allegations and Editorial Action

The editor examines credible concerns, seeks clarification from relevant parties, protects confidential information, and manages conflicts of interest. The outcome depends on the evidence and stage of publication; it may involve a correction request, rejection, an editorial notice, or retraction.

5. Published Record, Complaints, and Appeals

Readers and authors may submit a substantiated concern through the official contact page. For correction, withdrawal, retraction, complaint, and appeal procedures, see Publication Integrity. Decisions and notices should be traceable to the editorial record.
