Publication Ethics

Here is the translation of your text into English:

JITSi: Jurnal Ilmiah Teknik Sipil is a national electronic peer-reviewed journal. This statement clarifies the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the publication of articles in this journal, including the authors, editors, Editorial Board, peer reviewers, and the publisher (LPPM Universitas Perjuangan Tasikmalaya). This statement is based on the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Author's Responsibilities

  1. Reporting Standards
    Research report authors should present an accurate report of the work done and an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data should be accurate in the paper. A paper must be detailed and contain enough references to allow others to replicate the work. False or inaccurate statements are unethical behavior and unacceptable.

  2. Data Access and Storage
    Authors should provide raw data related to the paper for editorial review and must be prepared to provide public access to the data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Data Availability), where practicable. In any case, they should be prepared to retain the data for a reasonable time after publication.

  3. Originality and Plagiarism
    Authors must ensure that they have written original works and, if they have used others' works or words, they have properly cited or quoted them. Publications must be approved by all authors, either tacitly or explicitly, by the responsible party where the work was done.

  4. Duplicate, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
    An author should not generally submit a manuscript that essentially describes the same research to more than one journal or primary publication (except in the form of conference abstracts or as part of a thesis or dissertation published for academic qualifications), and is under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical publishing behavior and unacceptable.

  5. Acknowledgement of Sources
    Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the work being reported.

  6. 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 research. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be recognized or listed as contributors. Authors should ensure that all authorship is appropriate, with no inappropriate co-authors included, and that all authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and agreed to its submission for publication.

  7. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
    All authors must disclose any financial or substantive conflicts of interest that might be interpreted to influence the results or interpretation of the manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

  8. Fundamental Errors in Published Work
    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 or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

  9. Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects
    If the work involves chemicals, procedures, or equipment that have unusual hazards inherent in their use, authors should clearly identify these in the paper.

Editor's Responsibilities

  1. Fair Play
    An editor should evaluate manuscripts for intellectual content at all times, without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

  2. Confidentiality
    Editors and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.

  3. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
    Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author.

  4. Publication Decisions
    The journal's editorial board is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. Validation of the work in question and its significance for researchers and readers should always guide this decision. Editors may be guided by the journal's editorial board policies and are limited by legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may consult other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

  5. Manuscript Review
    Editors must ensure that each manuscript is initially evaluated by the editor for originality. Editors should arrange and use peer review fairly and judiciously. Editors should clarify their peer review process in information for authors and indicate which parts of the journal are reviewed by peers. Editors should use appropriate peer reviews for papers under consideration for publication by selecting individuals with relevant expertise and avoiding those who have conflicts of interest.

Reviewer’s Responsibilities

  1. Contributions to Editorial Decision
    Peer review helps the editor in making editorial decisions and, through editorial communication with the author, can also help the author improve the paper.

  2. Speed
    Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that a prompt review is not possible should notify the editor and withdraw from the review process.

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

  4. Confidentiality
    Any manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. It must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

  5. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
    Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must remain confidential and not be used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest due to competition, collaboration, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions involved in the paper.

  6. Acknowledgment of Sources
    Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the author. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by a relevant citation. Reviewers should also bring to the editor’s attention any substantial similarity between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper with which they have personal knowledge.
