Journal Policy
This page brings together the policies that govern Jurnal Penelitian Saintek (JPS), so that readers, authors, and reviewers can see in one place how the journal works and where each policy is set out in full.
▣ Principles
| ◯ Integrity
Published work must report what was actually done and actually found. Fabrication, falsification, and selective reporting are never acceptable.
|
⚖ Fairness
Manuscripts are judged on scientific merit and fit with the scope alone, regardless of the authors' nationality, institution, gender, religion, or seniority.
|
| ▪ Confidentiality
Manuscripts, reviews, and correspondence are confidential, and may not be shared or used before publication.
|
★ Accountability
Everyone involved answers for their part in the process, and the journal corrects the record publicly when something goes wrong.
