Publication Ethics

EDITOR RESPONSIBILITIES

Decision on Article Publication
Editor in Chief G-Tech : Jurnal Tekknologi Terapan is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. The Editor-in-Chief may be guided by the journal's editorial board policies and is subject to legal requirements concerning defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor-in-Chief may consult with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Manuscript Review
The Editor-in-Chief must ensure that each manuscript is initially evaluated by an editor or co-editor, who may use appropriate software to check the originality of the manuscript’s content. After passing this test, the manuscript is then forwarded to reviewers for blind peer review. Reviewers will make recommendations to publish the manuscript in its current form, modify it, or reject it. The review period will range from two weeks to one month (a maximum of two months under exceptional circumstances).

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript should not be used by anyone with access to the manuscript for their own research without written consent from the author.

Fair Play
Manuscripts should be evaluated solely based on their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality
The Editor-in-Chief, editors, and editorial staff must not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the relevant authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher.

REVIEWER RESPONSIBILITIES

Timeliness
If a reviewer feels that it is not possible to complete the review of a manuscript within the specified time, they must communicate this to the editor so that the manuscript can be sent to another reviewer.

Confidentiality
Information regarding manuscripts submitted by authors must be kept confidential and treated as privileged information.

Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. There should be no personal criticism of the author. Reviewers should clearly express their views with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgment of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the author. Any statement that has been previously reported elsewhere should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also inform the Editor-in-Chief of any substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and any other published papers that they have personal knowledge of.

Conflict of Interest
Reviewers should not review manuscripts where they have a conflict of interest arising from competition, collaboration, or any other relationship or connection with the author, company, or institution related to the paper.

AUTHOR RESPONSIBILITIES

Reporting Standards
Authors of original research reports must present an accurate account of the work conducted and provide an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data should be accurately represented in the paper. A paper should include sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. False or deliberately inaccurate statements are considered unethical and unacceptable behavior.

Data Access and Retention
Authors may be asked to provide raw data related to the paper for editorial review and should be prepared to make such data publicly accessible if possible. In any case, authors should be prepared to retain the data for a reasonable period after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism
Authors should ensure that they have written entirely original work and, if they have used the work and/or words of others, these should be properly cited or quoted.

Multiple Publications
An author should not generally publish manuscripts that essentially describe the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is considered unethical publishing behavior and unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources  
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite influential publications that have determined the nature of the reported work.

Authorship
Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the research reported. All who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have contributed to specific aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors must disclose any financial or substantive conflicts of interest that could be perceived to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental Errors in Published Work
When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in their own published work, it is the author's responsibility to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with them to retract or correct the paper.
