Authorship Criteria

Psikohumaniora: Jurnal Penelitian Psikologi recognizes authorship as an important form of academic credit that entails responsibility and accountability for the integrity of published work. Authorship must be based on substantial scholarly contributions to the manuscript and must not be granted solely on the basis of academic position, institutional affiliation, seniority, funding, or general supervision.

1. Criteria for Authorship

To qualify for authorship, each individual must meet all four of the following criteria:

1. Substantial scholarly contribution: Make a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the study, or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of research data.

2. Manuscript preparation: Participate in drafting the manuscript or critically reviewing it for important intellectual content.

3. Final approval: Approve the final version of the manuscript submitted for publication.

4. Accountability: Agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work and ensure that questions concerning the accuracy or integrity of any part of the research are appropriately investigated and resolved.

All individuals designated as authors must meet all four criteria. Contributors who meet the first criterion must be given the opportunity to participate in manuscript preparation, critical review, and final approval so that they can fulfill the remaining criteria.

2. Author Contributions

All authors are expected to make meaningful intellectual contributions to the research and manuscript. Authors should clearly identify their respective contributions and ensure that the contribution statements accurately reflect the work performed.

Psikohumaniora encourages transparent reporting of individual author contributions. Where applicable, authors may use the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) to specify their roles, including conceptualization, methodology, data curation, formal analysis, investigation, writing of the original draft, writing and editing, supervision, and project administration.

3. Corresponding Author Responsibilities

The corresponding author is responsible for coordinating communication between the journal and all co-authors throughout the submission, peer-review, revision, and publication processes. The corresponding author must:

• Ensure that all listed authors meet the journal's authorship criteria.

• Confirm that all authors have approved the submitted manuscript and agreed to its submission to Psikohumaniora.

• Provide accurate author names, affiliations, and contribution statements.

• Ensure that all required declarations, including conflicts of interest, research ethics, funding, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI), are disclosed as applicable.

• Communicate editorial decisions and substantive manuscript revisions to all co-authors.

• Ensure that all co-authors approve the final version before publication.

4. Author Order and Changes in Authorship

The order of authors should be agreed upon collectively by all authors based on their relative scholarly contributions. The journal does not prescribe a universal order of authorship.

Any addition, removal, or rearrangement of authors after submission must be justified and approved in writing by all affected authors, including any individual being added or removed. Requests for changes must be submitted to the editorial office and are subject to editorial approval. Changes in authorship must not be used to misrepresent individual contributions or circumvent the journal's authorship criteria.

5. Contributors Who Do Not Qualify for Authorship

Individuals whose contributions do not meet all authorship criteria should not be listed as authors. Such contributions may be acknowledged in the Acknowledgments section with the individual's permission.

Examples include funding acquisition alone, general supervision, administrative assistance, technical support, language editing, proofreading, and other contributions that do not constitute sufficient scholarly involvement to qualify for authorship.

Honorary authorship, guest authorship, and ghost authorship are not permitted. All individuals who meet the authorship criteria should receive appropriate credit, and individuals who do not meet these criteria should not be listed as authors.

6. Ethical Compliance and Disputes

All authors share responsibility for the integrity of the submitted and published work. Any concerns regarding authorship eligibility, undisclosed contributions, or improper attribution should be addressed transparently among the authors.

If an authorship dispute cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the journal may refer the matter to the relevant institution or research organization for investigation. The journal may suspend editorial processing while the dispute is being resolved and take appropriate action in accordance with its publication ethics policies.

7. Use of Artificial Intelligence

AI tools, including generative AI systems, cannot be listed as authors because they cannot assume responsibility or accountability for scholarly work. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and proper attribution of all submitted content.

Any use of AI-assisted tools in preparing a manuscript must be disclosed in accordance with the journal's AI policy. The use of such tools does not replace the substantive intellectual contributions and accountability required for authorship.

By submitting a manuscript to Psikohumaniora, all authors confirm that the authorship information is accurate, that all listed authors meet the stated criteria, and that the manuscript complies with the journal's ethical and publication requirements.
