Publication Ethics

AGRINOVA: Jurnal Inovasi Agribisnis is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, and the publisher. This statement is based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

1. Duties of Editors

  • Publication Decisions: The editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published based on the manuscript’s academic merit.

  • Fair Play: Editors evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

  • Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and the publisher.

  • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

2. Duties of Reviewers

  • Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and may also assist the author in improving the paper.

  • Promptness: Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript should notify the editor and excuse himself/herself from the review process.

  • Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents.

  • Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

3. Duties of Authors

  • Reporting Standards: Authors of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance.

  • Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, this must be appropriately cited or quoted.

  • Multiple or Concurrent Publication: An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal.

  • 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 reported study.

4. Duties of the Publisher

As the publisher, P3M ITBM Polman ensures that the editorial process is independent and that the commercial interests do not influence editorial decisions. The publisher is committed to the permanent availability and preservation of scholarly communication.
