Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed Taswiq: Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It reflects the quality of the authors' work and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. Therefore, it is important to agree upon ethical behaviour standards for all parties involved: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher, and the society.
Pusat Penelitian Ilmu Sosial dan Humaniora Kontemporer, as the publisher of Taswiq: Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah, takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing seriously. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprints, or other commercial revenue do not influence editorial decisions.
Publication decisions
The editor of Taswiq: Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal will be published. The validation of the work and its relevance to researchers and readers will always drive such decisions. Editors may be guided by the journal's editorial board policies and constrained by legal requirements such as libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may confer with other editors or reviewers to make these decisions.
Fair play
An editor will evaluate manuscripts based on intellectual content, regardless of the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality
The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and, through editorial communications with the author, may also assist the author in improving the paper.
Promptness
If a selected referee feels unqualified to review the research in a manuscript or knows that prompt review is impossible, they should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.
Confidentiality
Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
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 had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also inform the editor of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript and any other published paper with which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions involved with the papers.
Duties of Authors
Reporting standards
Authors of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.
Originality and Plagiarism
Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, this should be appropriately cited or quoted.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
An author should not generally publish manuscripts describing the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently is considered unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All contributors should be listed as co-authors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
Fundamental Errors in Published Works
If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
