Publication Etchics

The Journal of Public Administration and Policy (JAKP) are committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics. JAKP follows the core practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure integrity, credibility, and transparency throughout the scholarly publishing process.

1. Alleged Ethics Violations JAKP has clear procedures for handling allegations of ethics violations, regardless of how the report is filed. All reports of alleged violations, including from anonymous whistleblowers, will be thoroughly investigated and dealt with appropriately and fairly.
2. Authorship and Contributors JAKP requires clarity in the listing of authors and their respective contributions. This policy is intended to avoid the practice of ghost authorship or gift authorship, as well as to resolve authorship disputes objectively and professionally.
3. Complaints and Appeals JAKP provides a formal mechanism for handling complaints against editors, editorial staff, editorial boards, and publishers. Every complaint will be processed fairly, transparently, and without partiality.
4. Conflict of Interest the JAKP stipulates conflict of interest disclosure obligations for authors, editors, reviewers, and all related parties. All potential conflicts will be evaluated and managed transparently to maintain public trust and editorial independence.
5. Data and Reproducibility JAKP encourages data disclosure by advocating data availability statements, use of reporting guidelines, and registration of relevant study protocols. This transparency supports research reproducibility and scientific accountability.
6. Ethical Oversight JAKP upholds ethical principles in every stage of research and publication, including policies on publication approval, publications related to vulnerable populations, research with human and animal subjects, data confidentiality, and ethical business and promotional practices.
7. Intellectual Property Rights JAKP has clear policies regarding copyright, publication licenses, as well as management of preprints, plagiarism, and multiple publications. The journal ensures that authors' rights and obligations are clearly understood before and after the publishing process.
8. JAKP Journal management is managed with a professional organizational structure, open editorial policies, and an open access-based work system. The journal uses Turnitin for plagiarism detection, Grammarly for language editing, and recommends Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote for reference management. Site security is guaranteed with SSL certificates and regular updates.
9. Peer Review Process JAKP implements a double-blind peer review system, where the identities of authors and bestary partners are kept confidential. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent and competent bestary partners according to their fields.
10. Post-Publication Discussion and Correction JAKP opens space for post publication discussion through letters to the editor or other mechanisms. Correction, revision, or retraction of articles will be carried out according to transparent and accountable procedures if significant errors or ethical violations are found.
11. Archiving Policy JAKP ensures continued access to published articles through a digital archiving policy on trusted repository platforms. Collaboration with services such as Garuda, PKP PN, or Indonesia OneSearch can be done to ensure long-term availability.
12. Open Access Policy JAKP implements an open access policy, where all articles are freely available and free to use for non-commercial purposes. The license used is Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY NC-SA), which allows adaptation under the terms of attribution and similar sharing.
