Publication Ethic

AS-SALAM: Journal Islamic Social Sciences and Humanities, follows the COPE standard in handling all aspects of publication ethics and in particular, how to handle cases of research and publication irregularities as a reference in improving the quality of research as follows:

Editor's Responsibility

1. Publication decision

The editor is responsible for deciding which papers submitted to the journal will be published. The editor will present articles without regard to the author's ethnic origin, race, sexual orientation, gender, religious beliefs, political philosophy, or nationality. Decisions will be based on the importance of the paper, originality and clarity, validity of the research, and its relevance to the scope of the journal. Current approved legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism should also be considered.

2. Confidentiality

Editors and any editorial staff should not disclose any information about submitted articles to anyone other than the authors, reviewers, prospective reviewers, other editorial advisors, and relevant publishers, as appropriate.

3. Disclosures and Conflicts of Interest

Submissions that disclose unpublished information will not be used by editors or members of the editorial board for their own research purposes without clear written permission from the author.

Author Responsibilities

1. Reporting standards

Original research submitted by authors should accurately reflect the work done and should discuss its significance concisely and objectively. The underlying data should be accurately presented in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to enable others to replicate the work. False or deliberately inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behavior.

2. Data access and retention

Authors may be asked to provide the raw data of their research, along with the paper, for editorial observation, and should be prepared to make such data publicly available, if possible. In any event, authors should ensure the accessibility of such data to other competent professionals for at least ten years after publication (preferably through institutional or subject-based data repositories or other data centers), provided that participant confidentiality can be protected and legal rights regarding data ownership do not preclude their release.

3. Originality, plagiarism and acknowledgment of sources

Authors will only submit work that is entirely original and will quote or cite the work and words of others appropriately. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others should always be given. Publications cited by the author should be those that have the most influence on the work being reported. Information obtained personally, such as in conversations, transmissions, or discussions with third parties, should not be used or reported without the express and written permission of the source.

4. Multiple, redundant, or concurrent publications

In general, papers describing essentially the same research should not be published in more than one journal. Submitting the same paper to more than one journal constitutes unethical and unacceptable publication behavior. Articles that have been published as copyrighted material elsewhere cannot be submitted. In addition, articles under review by one journal should not be submitted to another publication while the article is under review.

5. Disclosure and conflicts of interest

All authors must include a statement disclosing any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that could adversely affect the outcome or interpretation of their article. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

6. Fundamental errors in published work

When authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work, they must immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper in error.
