Publication Ethics
To maintain manuscript quality and avoid publishing violations/plagiarism in the publishing process, the editorial board determines the publication ethics of the social Journal. These publication ethics rules apply to writers/authors, editors, review partners, and journal managers/editors. The publication ethics refers to The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Ethics Author
Reporting; Authors must provide information about the process and results of their research to the editor honestly, clearly and thoroughly, and continue to store their research data properly and safely.
Originality and plagiarism; The author must ensure that the manuscript that has been sent/submitted to the editor is an original manuscript, written by himself, sourced from his own thoughts and concepts, and not plagiarized from other people's written work or ideas. Authors are strictly prohibited from changing the names of cited reference sources to other people's names.
Repetition of delivery; The author must inform that the manuscript sent/submitted to the editor is a manuscript that has never been sent/submitted to the publisher of another journal/publication. If there is a "redundancy" in sending a manuscript to another publisher, the editor will reject the manuscript sent by the author.
Author status; The author must inform the editor that the author has competence or qualifications in a particular field of expertise that corresponds to the published field of science, namely librarianship. The author who sends the manuscript to the editor is the first author (co-author) so that if problems are found in the manuscript publishing process they can be resolved immediately.
Manuscript errors; The author must immediately inform the editor if errors are found in writing the manuscript, either as a result of review or editing. These writing errors include writing names, affiliations/agencies, quotations, and other writing that can reduce the meaning and substance of the text. If that happens, the author must immediately propose improvements to the manuscript.
Disclosure of conflicts of interest; Authors must understand the above scientific publication ethics to avoid conflicts of interest with other parties, so that manuscripts can be processed smoothly and safely.
Ethics of Editors
decision publication; The editor must ensure that the manuscript review process is thorough, transparent, objective, fair and wise. This is the basis for the editor in making a decision on whether a manuscript is rejected or accepted. In this case, the editorial board acts as a manuscript selection team.
Publication information; Editors must ensure that manuscript writing guidelines for authors and other interested parties can be accessed and read clearly, both printed and electronic versions.
Sharing peer-reviewed manuscripts; The editor must confirm the reviewer and the manuscript material for review, as well as clearly inform the reviewers of the terms and process of reviewing the manuscript.
Objectivity and neutrality; The editor must be objective, neutral and honest in editing the manuscript, without distinguishing between gender, ethnicity, religion, race, inter-group and nationality of the author.
Confidentiality; the editor must take good care of any information, especially related to the privacy of the author and the distribution of the manuscript.
Disclosure of conflicts of interest; Editors must understand the above scientific publication ethics to avoid conflicts of interest with other parties, so that the manuscript publishing process runs smoothly and safely.
Reviewer Ethics
Objectivity and neutrality; reviewers must be honest, objective, unbiased, independent, and only side with scientific truth. The process of reviewing the manuscript is carried out professionally without distinguishing gender, business side, ethnicity, religion, race, inter-group, and the author's nationality.
Clarity of reference sources; the reviewer must ensure that the source of references/quotes from the manuscript is appropriate and credible (accountable). If an error or deviation is found in writing a reference/citation source, the reviewer must immediately inform the editor for corrections to be made by the author according to the notes from the reviewer.
Peer-review effectiveness; the reviewer must respond to the manuscript that has been sent by the editor and work according to the established peer-review time (maximum 2 weeks). If you need additional time in reviewing the manuscript, you must immediately report (confirm) to the editorial secretariat.
Disclosure of conflicts of interest; reviewers must understand the ethics of scientific publication above to avoid conflicts of interest with other parties, so that the manuscript publishing process runs smoothly and safely.
Journal Manager Ethics
Decision-making; the journal manager/editor's board must describe the mission and goals of the organization, especially those relating to the establishment of policies and decisions to publish journals without any particular interest.
Freedom; Journal managers must provide freedom to reviewers and
