Confidentiality
Any 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 without bias. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Findings, arguments and observations that have already been made by authors before, must be properly cited. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which s/he has knowledge.

Quality standards

A manuscript should substantiate the significance of the theme under investigation and treat it in a coherent theory-guided and methodologically sound way. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the 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 submitted study.

Code of Conduct and Roles Responsibilities

Jurnal Peurawi aims to ensure highest ethical standards for publication, generate public trust in scientific findings and assure that authors of manuscripts receive due credit for their ideas. All processes adhere to the Publication Ethics (COPE) and its Best Practice Guidelines in every possible way.

Plagiarism

Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other authors will be considered as plagiarism. A plagiarism screening process will take place at the beginning of the review process before the manuscript is sent out to the reviewer(s) and in the editing process. If plagiarism is detected after the manuscript is published, the editor will immediately remove the article from the issue list with notification of publication ethics infringement.

Duplicate Submission

Manuscripts that are found to have been published elsewhere, or to be under review elsewhere will be considered as duplicate submission and violation of submission regulations.

Conflicts of Interest

Jurnal Peurawi encourages authors to avoid any conflicts of interests (COIs, also known as ‘competing interests’) that occur when issues outside research could be reasonably perceived to affect the neutrality or objectivity of the work or its assessment. However, any potential conflict of interest must be declared – whether or not it actually had an influence – to allow informed decisions. In most cases, this declaration will not stop work from being published nor will it always prevent someone from being involved in a review process.

Upon cases of uncertainty, declaration of a potential interest or discussion with the editors is strongly encouraged. Undeclared interests may lead to rejection or re-assessment of the manuscript that might cause withdrawal from publication.

Conflicts of interest include:

Financial – funding and other payments, goods and services received or expected by the authors relating to the subject of the work or from an organization with an interest in the outcome of the work.
Affiliations – being employed by, on the advisory board for, or a member of an organization with an interest in the outcome of the work.

Academic – competitors or someone whose work is critiqued.

Authors must declare current or recent funding and other payments, goods or services that might influence the work. All funding, whether a conflict or not, must be declared in the ‘Acknowledgments’. Declared conflicts of interest (if any) will be considered by the editor and reviewers and stated in the published article.

Editors and reviewers should not be involved with a submission when they:

Have a recent publication or current submission with any author.
Collaborate or recently collaborated with any author.
Have a financial interest in the subject of the work.
Experience inability to be objective.

In any way possible, Jurnal Peurawi aims to avoid assigning submissions to editors and inviting reviewers, should there be a conflict of interest; in which they should decline in any of the above situations and declare any conflicts to the journal. Reviewers must declare their interests in the ‘Confidential’ section of the review form, which will be considered by the editor. Close competitors should consider declining.
