Misconduct

Research Misconduct:

If there is suspicion that research was not conducted ethically, the Editor may reject the manuscript and inform relevant third parties, such as the author's institution and ethics committee. Proven misconduct in published articles, or significant undermining of scientific integrity, may lead to retraction.

Data Falsification and Fabrication:

Data falsification involves manipulating data to give a false impression, such as altering images or removing outliers. Data fabrication involves making up research findings. Issues regarding data integrity during or after peer review will be referred to the Editor, who may request anonymized underlying data for verification. Failure to produce original data may result in rejection or retraction, with suspected misconduct reported to the author's institution.

Publication Misconduct:

Jurnal Ilmiah Kesehatan Sandi Husada follows COPE guidelines for handling potential publication misconduct.

Duplicate Publication:

Authors must be transparent about potential overlaps or duplications. Any potentially overlapping publications should be declared and cited. Manuscripts should not have been formally published elsewhere. If requested, ‘in press' or unpublished manuscripts should be made available to the Editor. Jurnal Ilmiah Kesehatan Sandi Husada reserves the right to assess potential overlaps on a case-by-case basis.

Citations:

Research and non-research articles must cite relevant literature to support claims made. Inappropriate citation practices, such as excessive self-citation, coordinated self-citation among authors, and unnecessary citation of the journal to which the paper is submitted, are not allowed.

Plagiarism Policy:

Originality and the avoidance of plagiarism are crucial aspects of ethical publishing. At Jurnal Ilmiah Kesehatan Sandi Husada, we strongly emphasize that all submitted manuscripts must be original and not previously published or under consideration elsewhere. To safeguard against plagiarism, we encourage authors to appropriately cite and reference the work of others and use plagiarism detection software during the review process.
