Research Integrity & Ethics

 

Publication Ethics and Malpractice

Literasi: Jurnal Madrasah dan Pesantren is committed to maintaining high standards of integrity, transparency, fairness, and ethical conduct in scholarly publishing.

Authors, editors, and reviewers are expected to uphold the principles of research integrity, originality, confidentiality, objectivity, accountability, transparency, and responsible scholarly communication.

The journal does not tolerate:

• plagiarism;
• fabrication or falsification of data;
• duplicate or redundant publication;
• citation manipulation;
• inappropriate authorship;
• peer-review manipulation;
• undisclosed conflicts of interest; or
• unethical research practices.

Suspected misconduct will be investigated by the editorial team. Depending on the nature and severity of the case, editorial actions may include rejection, request for clarification or correction, notification to relevant institutions where appropriate, expression of concern, correction, or retraction.

Plagiarism and Text Similarity

Submitted manuscripts may be screened using plagiarism-detection or text-similarity software. A similarity report is used as an editorial screening instrument and does not, by itself, constitute a determination of plagiarism.

Editors evaluate the nature, source, distribution, and context of textual similarities. Manuscripts containing plagiarism, substantial unattributed copying, inappropriate paraphrasing, duplicate publication, or other unacceptable textual overlap may be rejected.

Duplicate and Simultaneous Submission

Manuscripts submitted to Literasi must not be simultaneously under consideration by another journal. Authors must not submit substantially the same manuscript to multiple journals at the same time.

Closely related publications, preprints, conference papers, theses, or other versions of the work should be disclosed when relevant so that the editorial team can assess potential overlap.

Data and Research Transparency

Authors are expected to maintain accurate and appropriately documented research data underlying their published findings.

Where ethically and legally appropriate, authors are encouraged to make supporting data available through appropriate repositories or upon reasonable request.

Data sharing is not required when it would compromise participant confidentiality, informed consent, institutional agreements, cultural sensitivity, intellectual property rights, or other legitimate ethical or legal considerations.
