Standards of Objectivity

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

Acknowledgment of Sources

The reviewers should identify relevant previously published works that were not referenced by the authors. Any assertion that a certain observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported must be backed by the appropriate citation.

In the manuscript, underlying data should be appropriately described. A publication should provide sufficient information and citations to allow others to reproduce the study.

bookmark_border Allegations of Research Misconducts

Research misconduct means fabrication, falsification, citation manipulation, or plagiarism in producing, performing, or reviewing research, writing an article by authors, or in reporting research findings. When authors are found to have been involved with research misconduct or other serious irregularities involving articles that have been published in scientific journals, editors have a responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record.

In cases of suspected misconduct, the editors and editorial board will use the best practices of COPE to assist them in resolving the complaint and addressing the misconduct fairly. This will include an investigation of the allegation by the editors. A submitted manuscript that is found to contain such misconduct will be rejected. In cases where a published manuscript is found to contain such misconduct, a retraction can be published and will be linked to the original article.

The first step involves determining the validity of the allegation and making an assessment of whether the allegation is consistent with the definition of research misconduct. This initial step also involves determining whether the individuals alleging misconduct have relevant conflicts of interest.

If scientific misconduct or the presence of other substantial research irregularities is a possibility, the allegations are shared with the corresponding author, who, on behalf of all of the co-authors, is requested to provide a detailed response. After the response is received and evaluated, additional review and involvement of experts (such as statistical reviewers) may be obtained. For cases in which it is unlikely that misconduct has occurred, clarifications, additional analyses, or both, published as letters to the editor, and often including a correction notice and correction to the published article, are sufficient.

Institutions are expected to conduct an appropriate and thorough investigation of allegations of scientific misconduct. Ultimately, authors, journals, and institutions have an important obligation to ensure the accuracy of the scientific record. By responding appropriately to concerns about scientific misconduct, and taking necessary actions based on evaluation of these concerns, such as corrections, retractions with replacement, and retractions, the Psikohumaniora: Jurnal Penelitian Psikologi journal will continue to fulfill the responsibilities of ensuring the validity and integrity of the scientific record.

bookmark_border Screening for Plagiarism

The manuscripts submitted to Sawwa: Jurnal Studi Gender will be filtered using Turnitin, and must be below 20% of similarities.

Plagiarism includes:

  1. Word-for-word plagiarism - The author uses the words of other authors exactly as they are without mentioning the source.
  2. Plagiarism over the source - The author employs the ideas of others without properly crediting them (by failing to explicitly mention the source).
  3. Plagiarism of authorship - The author claims to be the author of other people's articles.
Self-plagiarism - Self-plagiarism included in this category is when authors publish one article in more than one journal by recycling manuscripts or articles. The important thing in self-plagiarism is that when citing one's own work, the new article produced must have significant changes. This means that the article is a small part of the new articles produced. So readers will learn new things as the author pours old articles over new ones.
