Conflict of Interest Policy

Transparency, objectivity, and editorial independence in scholarly publishing.

Jurnal Edukasi Ilmiah Kesehatan (JUNEDIK) is committed to maintaining transparency, objectivity, and integrity in scholarly publishing. All authors, editors, and reviewers are required to disclose any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest that could influence, or be perceived to influence, research, peer review, or editorial decisions.

01   Authors' Responsibilities

Authors must disclose all potential conflicts of interest, including financial relationships, employment, consultancy, research funding, personal relationships, and institutional affiliations that may affect the interpretation of research findings.

02   Editors' Responsibilities

Editors must disclose potential conflicts of interest and withdraw from the evaluation or decision-making process whenever their impartiality may be compromised. In such cases, the manuscript will be assigned to another editor without the relevant conflict.

03   Reviewers' Responsibilities

Reviewers must disclose potential conflicts of interest before accepting a review invitation and decline or withdraw from the review when their impartiality may be compromised.

04   Editorial Assessment and Management

All disclosed conflicts will be assessed by the editorial team to safeguard fair and independent editorial decisions. Disclosure of a conflict of interest does not automatically disqualify a manuscript from publication.

Ethical Framework

This policy follows the ethical principles recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
