Publication Ethic

Quaerite Veritatem: Journal of Education upholds publication ethics and is prepared to conduct legal reviews if necessary. All points in publication ethics are adopted from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Details of guidelines and international standards can be found on the COPE Website.

AUTHORS

  1. Reporting Standards: Authors must present accurate reports and data from their research results. Research articles must include detailed information and sufficient references. Intentional falsification of manuscript content is considered unethical and unacceptable.

  2. Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure the originality of their work and provide clear information/sources when using quotations. Authors are not allowed to publish their research manuscripts in more than one journal simultaneously, as submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals is considered unethical and unacceptable.

  3. Acknowledgement of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of others' work must always be included. Authors should cite publications that have been used to support their scientific work.

  4. Authorship of the Paper: The manuscript should be limited to researchers who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported research. All researchers who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Researchers who contribute substantively to any aspect of the research should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The primary author must ensure that co-authors are indeed qualified to be included on the list of researchers and that all authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript to be published.

  5. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Each author must disclose any substantial financial or other conflicts of interest that might be interpreted to influence the results of the manuscript.

  6. Fundamental Errors in Published Works: If authors discover errors or inaccuracies in a published manuscript, they are expected to notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the manuscript.

EDITOR

  1. Publication Decisions: Editors are responsible for deciding which articles accepted by the editorial board will be published. Editors may refer to the journal's editorial policies and be constrained by applicable laws concerning defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may also consult with other editors or reviewers in making decisions.

  2. Fair Play: Editors should evaluate manuscripts based on their content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

  3. Confidentiality: Editors 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.

  4. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished material in submitted manuscripts must not be used in the editor's research without written consent from the author.

REVIEWER

  1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Reviewers assist editors in making editorial decisions and, through editorial communication with authors, can help authors improve their manuscripts. Reviewers are also expected to provide suggestions for improvement based on their review.

  2. Promptness: Reviewers who feel unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or who cannot review it promptly should notify the editor and be excluded from the review process. Invited reviewers should also confirm their willingness or unwillingness to review the article.

  3. Confidentiality: Any manuscript received for review should be treated as a confidential document. Such manuscripts must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

  4. Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is not acceptable. Reviewers should provide clear information about the review results with supporting arguments.

  5. Acknowledgement of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the author. Statements of observations, derivations, or arguments that have been reported previously should be accompanied by relevant citations. Reviewers should also coordinate with the editor regarding any substantial similarity between the manuscript under consideration and other published articles known to the editor and reviewer.

  6. Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Information or ideas obtained through the review process should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider a manuscript if there is a conflict of interest, collaborative, or other interest with the author, company, or institution related to the manuscript.
