Jurnal Al-Kanza is a scientific journal that publishes original articles on knowledge, studies, production, research, and application of research and other developments in the field of finance and banking. All published articles have gone through a review process by bestary partners and editing by the managing editor. This journal follows the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines in dealing with all aspects of publication ethics, especially regarding the handling of research cases and publication errors. This statement of scientific publication ethics is a statement of the code of ethics of all parties involved in the publication process of this scientific journal, namely managers, editors, bestary partners, and authors. The Code of Ethics for Scientific Publication essentially upholds three ethical values in publication, namely (i) Neutrality, which is free from conflicts of interest in the management of publications; (ii) Fairness, which gives authorship rights to those entitled as authors; and (iii) Honesty, which is free from duplication, fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism in publications.

 

Author Duties and Responsibilities

1. Article standards

Authors must present an original article that is accurate about the process of the work performed and presents an objective discussion. In the article, data should be presented accurately. Articles should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to build on the research. Deliberate misrepresentation or inaccuracy is unethical and unacceptable behavior.

2. Access to Data

In the unlikely event that, at the request of the editor, authors are required to provide raw data in connection with the review process, authors should be prepared to provide the editor with access to such data.

3. Authenticity and plagiarism

Authors should ensure that their work is completely original, and if the author has used the work and/or words of others who have been appropriately quoted or cited.

4. Multiple publications

An author should not publish a manuscript that descriptively describes the same research in more than one journal or other publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

5. Source Acknowledgment:

Authors should always acknowledge the work that others have done. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the proposed article.

6. About Article Authors

Author names listed are restricted to those who have made significant contributions to the concept, design, conduct, or interpretation of the reported research. All persons who have made significant contributions should be listed as authors. Where others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. Authors who correspond with the editor should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the article and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the article and have approved its submission for publication.

7. Conflicts of Interest:

All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that could be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

8. Fundamental errors in published work:

When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in his or her own published work, it is incumbent upon the author to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and work with the editor to retract or correct the manuscript.

 

Duties and Responsibilities of the Editor

1. Fairness:

An editor at all times evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the race, gender, religion, ethnic origin, nationality, or political persuasion of the authors.

2. Confidentiality:

The editor and any editorial staff are prohibited from disclosing any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the authors, reviewers, the board of editors, and other publishers.

3. Conflict of Interest:

Unpublished material included in a submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the authors.

4. Publication Decisions:

Journal editors are responsible for determining which articles are published. Editors may seek input from the journal's editorial board and existing tools to address copyright infringement and plagiarism. Editors may discuss with other editors and reviewers to make this decision.

5. Manuscript Review:

The editor should ensure that each manuscript is evaluated by the editor for originality. Editors should organize and use reviewers fairly and judiciously. Editors should explain the peer review process as information for authors and also indicate which parts of the journal are reviewed by reviewers. Editors should use appropriate peer reviewers for articles deemed publishable by selecting people with sufficient expertise and avoiding conflicts of interest.

 Reviewer Duties and Responsibilities

1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions:

Reviewers assist editors in making editorial decisions. Through communication between editors and authors, reviewers can also assist authors in improving articles.

2. Speed:

Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the manuscript should inform the editor and withdraw from the review process.

3. Objectivity Standard:

The review process should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of authors is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly and with supporting arguments.

4. Confidentiality:

Any manuscripts received for review should be treated as confidential documents. They should not be shown or discussed with others except those authorized by the editor.

5. Disclosure and Conflict of Interest:

New information or ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should work in a professional manner and rule out conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any author, company, or institution associated with the article.

6. Acknowledgment of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. Any statement of a previously published observation, derivation, or argument should be accompanied by relevant citations. A reviewer should also discuss with the editor any substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under review and other published articles.
