Publication Ethics in the Indonesian Journal on Data Science based on the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). This statement clarifies the ethical behavior of all parties involved in posting articles in this journal, including authors, editors, and reviewers. We have personalized this COPE for our journal as follows:

Publication Ethics - Author

• Reporting Standards: Original research reports must provide an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be presented accurately in the paper. Papers must contain sufficient detail and references to enable others to replicate the work.
• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written completely original work. If the author has used the work and/or words, these have been properly cited or quoted.
• Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: An author generally should not publish manuscripts describing substantially the same research in more than one primary journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical publishing behavior which is not acceptable.
• Acknowledgment of Source: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite influential publications in determining the nature of the work reported.
• Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the research reported in the manuscript. Correspondence authors are responsible for keeping co-authors posted with the review process. If accepted, all authors are required to provide a signed statement that the research work is their original research work.
• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that could be construed to influence the outcome or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.
• Fundamental errors in published work: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his published work, the author must immediately notify the editor of the journal or publisher and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

 

Publication Ethics - Editor

• Fair Play: An editor at any time evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.
• Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff shall not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the appropriate authors, reviewers, prospective reviewers, other editorial advisers and the publisher, as appropriate.
• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript may not be used in an editor's research without written consent from the author.
• Publication Decision: The editorial board is responsible for deciding which articles are submitted to the journal for publication. The validation of the work and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive those decisions. Editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and limited by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.
• Manuscript Review: The editor must ensure that each manuscript is initially evaluated for originality. Editors must organize and use peer review fairly and wisely. Editors should describe their peer review process in the author information and indicate the peer-reviewed journal section. Editors should use appropriate peer reviewers for papers considered for publication, selecting people with sufficient expertise and avoiding conflicts of interest.

 

Publication Ethics - Reviewer

• Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer reviewers assist editors in making editorial decisions, and through editorial communication with authors may also assist authors in improving papers.
• Accuracy : The editors of the journal are committed to providing timely reviews to authors. If the reviewer does not submit the report immediately, the paper is immediately sent to another qualified reviewer.
• Standards of Objectivity : Reviews must be carried out objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees must express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
• Confidentiality: Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They may not be shown or discussed with others except as permitted by the editors.
• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest : Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest resulting from competition, collaboration, or other association or association with any author, company, or institution associated with the paper.

Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported must be accompanied by a relevant citation. Reviewers should also call the editor's attention if there are substantial similarities or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and other published papers of which they are personally aware.
