ETHICAL GUIDELINES FOR JOURNAL PUBLICATION

Publication of an article in An-nida: Journal of Islamic Education is an important building block in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree on the expected standards of ethical behaviour for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, editors, reviewers, publishers and the public. As the publisher of An-nida: Journal of Islamic Education: Faculty of Islamic Religion, Universitas Islam Nusantara Bandung, Indonesia, takes its trusteeship in all stages of publishing seriously and is aware of its ethical and other responsibilities. The Faculty of Islamic Religious Studies, Universitas Islam Nusantara Bandung, Indonesia is committed to ensuring that advertising, reprints, or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions.

Publication Decisions

The editors of An-nida: Journal of Islamic Education are responsible for deciding which articles to publish. The validity of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive the decision. The editors may be guided by the journal's editorial board policy and constrained by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. Editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making decisions.

Plagiarism Screening

Basically, authors are obliged to only submit manuscripts that are free from plagiarism and academic malpractice. However, the editors double-check each article before publication. The first step is to check for plagiarism against an offline database developed by the Faculty of Islamic Religion, Universitas Islam Nusantara Bandung, Indonesia and, secondly, against as many online databases as possible.

Fair Play

The editors at all times evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff should not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, prospective reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosures and Conflicts of Interest

Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author.

DUTIES OF REVIEWERS

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also assist authors in improving the quality of articles.

Timeliness

Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in the manuscript or knows that timely review is not possible, should inform the editors and excuse himself/herself from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscript received for review should be treated as a confidential document. It should not be shown or discussed with others unless authorised by the editors.

Objectivity Standard

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of authors is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. Any assertion that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by an appropriate citation. Reviewers should also bring to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and other published manuscripts of which they are personally aware.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider a manuscript that has a conflict of interest resulting from a competitive, collaborative or other relationship with the authors, companies or institutions associated with the manuscript.

Review Process

Each manuscript submitted to An-nida: Journal of Islamic Education is independently reviewed by at least two reviewers in the form of ‘double-blind review’. The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based on their reports/recommendations. In certain cases, the editor may send the article for review by a third reviewer before making a decision, if required.

DUTIES OF THE AUTHOR

Reporting Standards

Authors of original research reports should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be accurately represented in the article. The article should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Deliberately fraudulent or inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behaviour.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that they have written a wholly original piece of work, and where authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

An author should not generally publish a manuscript describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behaviour.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Proper acknowledgement of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Article Authorship

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, conduct, or interpretation of the reported research. All persons who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. If others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the manuscript, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and have consented to its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to affect the results 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 significant errors or inaccuracies in his or her own published work, the author is obliged to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and co-operate with the editor to retract or correct the manuscript.
