Research Misconduct
IJES : Indonesian Journal of Environmental Sustainability takes every allegation of research or publication misconduct seriously, whether it concerns a submitted manuscript or a published article. Allegations are handled confidentially and fairly, following the flowcharts of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
What counts as misconduct
| Fabrication | Making up data or results. |
|---|---|
| Falsification | Manipulating materials, equipment, processes, data, or images so that the research is not accurately represented. |
| Plagiarism | Using another person's work or ideas without credit (see Plagiarism Policy). |
| Duplicate publication | Publishing the same work, or substantially the same work, more than once. |
| Authorship misconduct | Guest, gift, or ghost authorship; disputes over contribution (see Authorship). |
| Undisclosed conflict of interest or AI use | Failure to declare interests or AI use as required. |
| Manipulation | Citation manipulation, peer review manipulation, or manipulation of metadata or publication dates. |
| Ethical approval | Research with humans or animals without the required ethical approval (see Research Ethics). |
How to report
Send a description of the concern and any supporting evidence to ijes.uin@ar-raniry.ac.id. Anonymous reports are considered when they include enough verifiable evidence. The identity of the person reporting is kept confidential.
Procedure
- Acknowledgement. The journal acknowledges the report.
- Initial assessment. The Editor in Chief, or another editor if the Editor in Chief is involved, assesses whether the concern is supported by evidence.
- Response from the authors. The authors are informed of the concern and asked to explain, with supporting data where needed.
- Institutional involvement. If the explanation is not satisfactory, the journal may ask the authors' institution to investigate.
- Outcome. Depending on the findings: no action, correction, an expression of concern, rejection of the manuscript, or retraction of the article (see Correction and Retraction). The person who reported the concern is informed of the outcome.
