Allegations of Research Misconduct

Humanika: Kajian Ilmiah Mata Kuliah Umum

 

Humanika: Kajian Ilmiah Mata Kuliah Umum is committed to maintaining research integrity and responsible scholarly publishing. All allegations of research misconduct are assessed fairly, confidentially, and based on available evidence, in accordance with relevant publication ethics guidance.

01 Types of Misconduct

Research misconduct includes fabrication or falsification of data, plagiarism, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, undisclosed conflicts of interest, violations of research ethics, and manipulation of citations or peer review. Honest errors and differences of scholarly opinion are not, by themselves, considered research misconduct.

02 Reporting Allegations

Authors, reviewers, readers, institutions, and other parties may report suspected misconduct to the journal's editorial office. Reports should include the article title or manuscript ID, a clear description of the concern, and supporting evidence where available.

All reports are treated confidentially. Anonymous reports may be considered when they contain specific and verifiable evidence. Allegations must be made in good faith and should not be publicised while under editorial assessment.

03 Investigation and Editorial Actions

The editor evaluates the evidence, may request an explanation from the authors, and may consult independent experts or the authors' institutions when necessary. Authors are given a reasonable opportunity to respond before a decision is made.

Depending on the seriousness of the case, the journal may request corrections, require manuscript revisions, reject a submission, publish a correction or expression of concern, retract a published article, or refer the matter to the relevant institution. Decisions are proportionate to the evidence and intended to protect the integrity of the scholarly record.

Allegations involving editors or reviewers are handled impartially by an appropriate editorial representative or the publisher. Individuals directly involved in a complaint must not participate in deciding that case.
