Publication Ethics

The Journal of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (JCSAI) is a scientific journal published by ruangjurnal.or.id through the Permata Asih Education Foundation. This statement clarifies the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing an article in this journal, including authors, editor-in-chief, Editorial Board, peer reviewers, and publishers. This statement is based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Journal Publication Ethics Guidelines

The publication of articles in the Journal of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (JCSAI) is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of 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 ethical behavior standards for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and the society.

Publisher’s Duties

The Journal of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (JCSAI) Research Center, as a publisher, takes its guardianship duties over all stages of publishing very seriously and we acknowledge our ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprinting, or other commercial revenue does not impact or influence editorial decisions. In addition, the JCSAI Research Center as a publisher and the Editorial Board will assist in communication with other journals and/or publishers if this is useful and necessary.

Publication Decision

The editor of the Journal of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (JCSAI) is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive this decision. The editor can be guided by the journal’s editorial board policies and constrained by legal requirements as they will then apply regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor can consult with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fair Play

An editor should always evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

The editor and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

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

Author’s Duties

Reporting Standards:

Authors of original research reports should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention:

Authors are asked to provide raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism:

Authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Based on COPE, writing using AI assistance is not allowed because it cannot be held accountable if there is a legal issue.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication:

An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Source Acknowledgement:

Proper recognition 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.

Paper Authorship:

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. 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. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest:

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works:

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her 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.

Editorial Duties

Fair Play:

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

Confidentiality:

The editor and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest:

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

Publication Decision:

The editorial board of the journal is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editor can be guided by the policies of the journal’s editorial board and constrained by legal requirements as they will then apply regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor can consult with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Manuscript Review:

The editor must ensure that each manuscript is initially evaluated by the editor for originality. The editor should organize and use peer review fairly and wisely. The editor should explain their peer review process in the information for authors and also indicate which part of the journal is peer-reviewed. The editor should use appropriate peer reviewers for papers that are considered for publication by selecting individuals with sufficient expertise and avoiding those with conflicts of interest.

Reviewer's Duties

Contribution to Editorial Decisions:

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and, through the editorial communication with the author, may also assist the author in improving the paper.

Promptness:

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality:

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity:

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

Acknowledgement of Sources:

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest:

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
