Publication Ethics

CENDEKIA: Journal of Science and Technology is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics to ensure the integrity of the research we publish. We expect all authors, reviewers, and editors involved in the publication process to adhere to ethical guidelines in their respective roles. This includes upholding the principles of honesty, transparency, and accountability in conducting research, submitting manuscripts, and participating in the peer review process. Any breach of ethical standards, such as plagiarism, data fabrication, or falsification, will be treated with the utmost seriousness and may result in retraction of the published work.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submissions are original and free of plagiarism. All sources must be properly cited, and appropriate permissions must be obtained for the use of copyrighted materials. Additionally, authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the research outcomes or interpretation of the results. Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the research, and all co-authors should approve the final version of the manuscript before submission.

Reviewers play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and integrity of the journal. They are expected to provide fair, unbiased, and constructive feedback to authors, based solely on the academic merit of the work. Reviewers must treat all submitted manuscripts as confidential and must not use any information gained during the peer review process for personal advantage. We also require reviewers to disclose any conflicts of interest that could potentially affect their impartiality in evaluating a manuscript.

Editors are responsible for ensuring that the publication process is transparent and free from bias. They must evaluate submissions based on their academic quality and relevance to the journal’s scope, without discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or political beliefs. Editors should handle any conflicts of interest in a transparent manner and recuse themselves from processing manuscripts in which they have a personal or professional interest. We are committed to upholding these ethical standards to maintain the trust and confidence of our readers, authors, and the broader scientific community.
