Publication Ethics
Publication Ethics
At Digdaya Journal, we uphold the highest standards of publication ethics to ensure the integrity, credibility, and fairness of the research we publish. Our commitment to ethical publishing practices is guided by the following principles:
- Originality and Integrity: Authors are expected to submit original research that has not been published elsewhere. Any form of plagiarism, fabrication, or falsification of data is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate rejection or retraction of the manuscript.
- Authorship and Contributorship: All individuals who have made significant contributions to the research should be listed as authors. Authorship should be based on substantial contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. Proper acknowledgment should be given to individuals who have contributed in other ways, such as providing technical assistance or guidance.
- Conflict of Interest: Authors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the research or its interpretation. This includes financial relationships, personal affiliations, or other competing interests that could bias the research process or its outcomes. Editors and reviewers are also expected to declare any conflicts of interest that may affect their ability to provide unbiased evaluations.
- Peer Review Process: All submissions undergo a rigorous peer review process conducted by experts in the field. Peer reviewers are selected based on their expertise, impartiality, and integrity. They provide constructive feedback and recommendations to help authors improve the quality of their manuscripts. The peer review process is confidential, and reviewers are expected to maintain the confidentiality of the review process and any information obtained from the manuscript.
- Transparency and Accountability: We are committed to transparency and accountability in all aspects of our editorial process. Editors make decisions based on the merit of the manuscript and ensure that all editorial decisions are fair, impartial, and free from any form of bias or undue influence. Authors are provided with clear and timely communication regarding the status of their submissions, and any editorial decisions are explained clearly and transparently.
- Corrections and Retractions: In cases of errors or inaccuracies in published articles, we will promptly issue corrections, clarifications, or retractions as appropriate. Corrections are made to rectify minor errors, while retractions are issued for serious ethical violations or research misconduct. We are committed to correcting the scientific record and maintaining the integrity of our publications.
By adhering to these publication ethics principles, we aim to promote trust, integrity, and credibility in academic publishing and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of education.
