JIPSINDO (Jurnal Pendidikan Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial Indonesia) publishes only original work that has not been published before and is not under consideration elsewhere. Duplicate and redundant publication distort the scholarly record and waste the time of editors and reviewers. Cases are handled following the COPE Core Practices and the COPE flowcharts on suspected redundant publication.

—  Confirm at submission that the manuscript is original and not under consideration elsewhere, in the Author Declaration Form.

—  Disclose any related manuscripts, published or under review, that use the same data, sample, or question, and send copies if the editor asks.

—  Explain how the new manuscript differs and what it adds, and cite the related work.

—  Declare earlier versions: preprints, conference presentations, theses, and reports.

—  Wait for a final decision, or withdraw in writing, before submitting to another journal.

A secondary publication, for example a translation for a different readership, may be considered only if all of these apply:

1.  Both editors agree, and the first publisher gives permission.

2.  The secondary version is published after the first, and reflects it faithfully.

3.  It clearly cites the original publication, on its first page.

4.  It is intended for a different audience.

Extended versions of conference papers may be considered when the conference paper is declared and the manuscript adds substantial new content.

1.  Every manuscript is checked with similarity-detection software and by the editors, including for overlap with the authors’ own work. See the Plagiarism Policy.

2.  If overlap is found, the authors are asked for an explanation and copies of the related work.

3.  Before publication: minor, explained overlap may be fixed by revision and citation. Undisclosed duplicate or simultaneous submission leads to rejection.

4.  After publication: the article may be corrected, given a notice of redundant publication, or retracted. See Correction, Retraction and Withdrawal.

5.  The other journal is informed, and in serious cases the authors’ institutions. See Institutional Cooperation and Research Misconduct.

If you are unsure whether earlier work affects your submission, ask before submitting: the Contact page. See also Publication Ethics.

Publishing a translation of an article already published elsewhere, or a version reworded with generative AI tools, without permission and clear citation of the original, is treated as duplicate publication. Authors must disclose any earlier version in another language at submission.
