Ethics Statement
Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement
This document outlines the ethical responsibilities of every party engaged in publishing an article in Jurnal Entrepreneur dan Entrepreneurship, including authors, editors, peer reviewers, and the publisher (The Institute of Research and Community Development, Universitas Ciputra).
Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
Publishing an article in a peer-reviewed journal such as Jurnal Entrepreneur dan Entrepreneurship (JEE) forms a vital component in building a credible and respected body of knowledge. It reflects the quality and integrity of the authors’ work and the support of their institutions. Peer-reviewed publications uphold and exemplify the scientific method. For this reason, all participants involved in the publishing process—authors, editors, reviewers, the publisher, and the academic community—must adhere to established ethical standards.
The Institute of Research and Community Development, Universitas Ciputra as the journal’s publisher, takes its responsibilities seriously at every stage of the publication process. We ensure that advertising, reprints, or other commercial considerations do not affect editorial decisions. The Department of Research and Publication and the JEE Editorial Board will also facilitate communication with other journals or publishers when appropriate.
Our ethical principles follow COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Publication Decisions
The editor holds the authority to decide which submissions are suitable for publication.
Editorial judgments may be guided by the journal’s policies and must comply with applicable legal constraints concerning defamation, copyright, and plagiarism. Editors may consult with other editors or reviewers when necessary.
Fair Play
Editors must assess manuscripts solely on their scholarly merit, without discrimination based on authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or political perspective.
Confidentiality
Editors and editorial staff must keep all information regarding submitted manuscripts confidential and disclose details only to the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, advisory editors, or the publisher when appropriate.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Editors must not use unpublished content from submitted manuscripts for their own research without written permission from the authors.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer reviewers assist editors in making publication decisions and, through feedback, help authors improve their manuscripts.
Promptness
Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified to evaluate the manuscript or is unable to complete the review promptly should inform the editor and withdraw from the review.
Confidentiality
Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential and should not be shown or discussed with others unless permitted by the editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews must be conducted impartially. Personal attacks on the authors are inappropriate. Reviewers should clearly express their assessments with well-supported arguments.
Acknowledgement of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work not cited by the authors. If an argument or finding has appeared previously, reviewers should provide the appropriate citation. They should alert editors to any notable similarity or overlap between the manuscript and other works known to them.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Information or ideas obtained through review must remain confidential and not be used for personal gain. Reviewers should decline to evaluate manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with the authors, companies, or institutions involved.
Duties of Authors
Reporting Standards
Authors must present an accurate and objective account of their research. Data should be reported truthfully, and the manuscript must include sufficient details and references to allow replication. Fabricated or deliberately inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior.
Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must ensure their work is wholly original. When using others’ ideas or words, they must provide correct citations and quotations.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
Authors must not submit the same research to more than one journal or publish substantially similar work in multiple outlets. Concurrent submissions are unethical.
Acknowledgement of Sources
Proper credit must always be given to others’ work. Authors should cite publications that significantly influenced their research.
Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to those who made substantial contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the research. All individuals who made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors; others who contributed to specific aspects should be acknowledged.
The corresponding author must ensure that all appropriate contributors are listed as co-authors, that no inappropriate individuals are included, and that all co-authors approve the final manuscript and agree to submission.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Authors must disclose any financial or substantive conflicts of interest that might influence their findings or interpretations. All funding sources must be acknowledged.
Fundamental Errors in Published Works
If authors discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they must promptly notify the editor or publisher and cooperate in retracting or correcting the article.
