Publication Ethics Policy

Jurnal Economia is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and editorial independence based on COPE, DOAJ, OASPA, and ICMJE guidelines. All parties—authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher—are expected to adhere to the following standards:

Duties of Authors

• Originality & Plagiarism: Submitted work must be entirely original. Plagiarism in any form (including self-plagiarism and redundant publication) is strictly prohibited. All manuscripts are screened using similarity-detection software.
• Authorship: Authorship is restricted to individuals who made substantial contributions (described using the CRediT taxonomy). Gift, guest, or ghost authorship is not permitted.
• Data Integrity: Data must be reported honestly without fabrication or falsification. Authors must include a Data Availability Statement and provide raw data upon request.
• Human Participant Ethics: Research involving human participants requires ethics committee approval (ethical clearance) and informed consent.
• Conflict of Interest & Funding: All financial or non-financial conflicts of interest and funding sources must be explicitly declared in a Disclosure Statement.
• Use of Generative AI: Generative AI is allowed only for language editing or ideation support—never for generating data, images, or citations. Any use must be declared.
• Correction of Errors: Authors must promptly inform the editor if they discover significant errors in their published work to initiate a correction or retraction.

Duties of Editors

• Publication Decisions: The Editor-in-Chief evaluates manuscripts solely based on scientific merit, originality, and scope relevance, free from commercial considerations.
• Fairness & Confidentiality: Evaluations are conducted impartially regardless of the authors' background. Manuscripts are handled confidentially under a double-anonymous review process.
• Editorial Independence: Editors must decline handling manuscripts where a conflict of interest exists. Submissions by editorial members are processed independently by another editor.

Duties of Reviewers

• Expertise & Timeliness: Reviews must be conducted objectively, constructively, and completed within the designated timeframe (maximum 21 days).
• Confidentiality & Integrity: Reviewers must maintain manuscript confidentiality, refrain from uploading manuscripts to AI tools, and avoid using unpublished data for personal benefit.
• Disclosure of Conflicts: Reviewers must decline invitations if a conflict of interest exists or if they recognize the authors' identity.

Duties of the Publisher

• Acknowledgement will be issued within 7 working days, and the reporter's identity will remain strictly confidential.
