Publication Ethics

Khazanah Hukum, e-ISSN 2715-9698 (Online), is a peer-reviewed journal published by UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. This statement outlines the ethical guidelines for all parties involved in the publication process of articles in this journal, including authors, the chief editor, the Editorial Board, reviewers, and the publisher. These guidelines are based on the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and have been specifically developed to support the internal policies and processes of Khazanah Hukum.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The publication of articles in the peer-reviewed journal Khazanah Hukum is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It reflects the quality of the authors’ work and the institutions that support them. Published articles must adhere to the correct application of scientific methods. Therefore, it is important to agree upon the standards of ethical behavior expected from all parties involved in the publication process: authors, editors, reviewers, publishers, and the academic community.

As the publisher, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung is committed to maintaining the integrity of every stage of the publication process. We ensure that editorial decisions are not influenced by advertising, reprints, or other commercial revenues.

Additionally, this journal recognizes the importance of local ethical standards specific to the Indonesian context, such as:

Respect for Diversity: All publications must respect the cultural, social, and legal norms of Indonesia, avoiding content that could harm the integrity of local traditions or communities.

Adherence to Local Legal Norms: Any research involving Indonesian subjects must comply with national research ethics guidelines, including obtaining relevant ethical approvals.

Protection of Indigenous Knowledge: Research involving indigenous practices, traditions, or knowledge must acknowledge and protect the rights of the local communities, ensuring proper consent and benefit-sharing mechanisms.

Publication Decisions

The editor of Khazanah Hukum is responsible for deciding which submitted articles to publish. The relevance and significance of the work for readers and researchers are the main drivers of these decisions. Editors may be guided by the policies of the journal’s Editorial Board and are subject to legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may consult with other editors or reviewers in making these decisions.

Fairness

Editors must evaluate manuscripts based on their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor’s research without the explicit written consent of the author.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and can also help authors improve their manuscripts.

Promptness

Reviewers who feel unqualified to review the research in a manuscript or know that prompt review will not be possible should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.

Objectivity Standards

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly and support their arguments.

Recognition of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work not cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by a relevant citation. Reviewers should also notify the editor if they discover any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper.

Duties of Authors

Reporting Standards

Authors should present an accurate account of the research performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Data underlying the research should be accurately represented in the manuscript.

Data Access and Retention

Authors may be asked to provide raw data in connection with their manuscript for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data if possible.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they have used the work or words of others, this must be appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

Authors should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical behavior and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

If authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their own published work, they must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate to retract or correct the paper.

Screening Plagiarism

Every submitted paper will go through plagiarism screening by Turnitin.
