The Editorial Board is responsible, among other things, for preventing publication misconduct. Unethical behavior is unacceptable, and Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. Authors submitting articles confirm that the manuscript content is original. Editors, authors, and reviewers at Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa must be fully committed to good publication practices and accept responsibility for fulfilling the duties and responsibilities outlined by the COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Publication Decision
The editor of the Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa is responsible for deciding which articles will be published. The decision should be based on the validity of the work and its relevance to researchers and readers. The editor may consult with other editors or reviewers and must comply with the journal's editorial policies and legal requirements such as defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
Fair play
The editor must evaluate manuscripts based on their intellectual content without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic origin, nationality, or political views.
Confidentiality
The editor and editorial staff must not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial advisors, and the publisher, as necessary.
Reviewer's Duties
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Reviewers assist the editor in making editorial decisions by providing a thorough and objective evaluation. Based on this review report, the editor may accept, reject, or request modifications to the manuscript. The editor is responsible for every article published. Reviewers may also provide input that helps authors improve the quality of their papers.
Promptness
Reviewers who feel unable to assess a manuscript within the given timeframe or are unqualified to evaluate the research should immediately notify the editor and withdraw from the review process. This ensures that the review process remains efficient.
Confidentiality
Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They should not be shown or discussed with others without the editor's permission. Editors must also ensure that the documents sent to reviewers do not contain personal information of the authors.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is not allowed, and reviewers must express their opinions clearly with supporting arguments. Reviewers are also asked to provide comments regarding ethical issues and possible violations in the research and publication.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant work that has been published but not cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers must also alert the editor if they find substantial similarities or overlap between the manuscript under review and other published papers.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Reviewers must disclose potential conflicts of interest that may affect their judgment of the manuscript. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not accept manuscripts with conflicts of interest related to the authors, companies, or institutions.
Author's Duties
Reporting Standards
Authors of original research reports must present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data should be accurately represented in the paper and contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Access to and Retention of Data
Authors may be asked to provide raw data for editorial review and should be prepared to make such data publicly available if feasible. Authors should retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.
Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works. If they have used the work or words of others, proper citation must be given. Plagiarism or self-plagiarism is unacceptable.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
Authors should not submit manuscripts describing essentially the same research to more than one journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously constitutes unethical behavior.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential and relevant to their work.
Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the research. All significant contributors should be listed as co-authors. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors have approved the final version of the paper.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Authors must disclose any financial or substantive conflicts of interest that may influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
Fundamental Errors in Published Works
If authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work, they must promptly notify the journal editor and cooperate to correct or retract the paper.
