Publication Ethics
Journal Publication Ethics Guidelines
The publication of an article in the peer-reviewed TECHNO-SOCIO ECONOMIKA journal is an important part of developing a coherent and respected knowledge network. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. Therefore, it is important to agree on the expected standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and the public.
LPPM Universitas Sangga Buana as the publisher of TECHNO-SOCIO EKONOMIKA takes its supervisory duties towards all stages of publishing seriously and we are aware of its ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprints, or other commercial revenues do not impact or influence editorial decisions.
Furthermore, submission of a manuscript by the author also implies that it has not been previously published in any language, in whole or in part, and is not currently being submitted for publication elsewhere. The editors, authors, and reviewers, in TECHNO-SOCIO EKONOMIKA , must be fully committed to good publishing practices and accept responsibility for fulfilling the following duties and responsibilities, as set out by the COPE Code of Ethics for Journal Editors. As part of the Core Practices, COPE has written guidelines on http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines .
Publication decision
The editor of TECHNO-SOCIO ECONOMIKA is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal will be published. The validity of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers should always be the basis for such decisions. The editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making these decisions.
Fair process
An editor may at any time evaluate a manuscript based on its intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.
Confidentiality
The editor and all editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosures and conflicts of interest
Unpublished material disclosed in the submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author.
Reviewer Duties
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also assist authors in improving papers.
Speed
Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that a speedy review is not possible should inform the editor and withdraw from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscript received for review should be treated as a confidential document. It should not be shown or discussed with others unless authorized by the editor.
Objectivity Standard
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of authors is inappropriate. Reviewers should state their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Source Acknowledgment
Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. Any assertion that an observation, derivation or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also inform the editor of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published papers of which they are personally aware.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts that contain conflicts of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any author, company, or institution associated with the paper.
Author Duties
Reporting standards
Authors of original research reports must present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Basic data must be accurately presented in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Deliberately deceptive or inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behavior.
Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must ensure that they have written a completely original work, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, these have been cited or listed in the appropriate places.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
In general, an author should not publish a manuscript describing essentially the same research in more than one major journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
Paper Authorship
Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, conduct, or interpretation of the reported research. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. If there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. Correspondence authors should ensure that all appropriate and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have approved its submission for publication.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that could be construed as affecting the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.
Fundamental errors in published work
If an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work, it is the author's obligation to notify the journal editor or publisher immediately and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
