Allegations of Misconduct

Introduction: The Jurnal Riset Kimia staunchly advocates for integrity and scientific accuracy. Our policy rigorously addresses any allegations of scholarly misconduct, from the initial submission to the post-publication phase.

Reporting: Secure and confidential channels are available for reporting misconduct, ensuring whistleblower anonymity. All reports are acknowledged and assessed for merit.

Investigation Process:

1. Preliminary Review: The Editor-in-Chief and an ethics committee conduct an initial review to decide on the necessity of a full investigation.
2. Full Investigation: If needed, an in-depth investigation is initiated, with detailed documentation of the proceedings.
3. Resolution: Outcomes may include article corrections, retractions, or further actions based on the investigation's results.
4. Whistleblower Protection: The identity of whistleblowers is protected vehemently against retaliation.

Documentation and Enforcement: Comprehensive records of all steps taken are maintained securely. Adherence to this policy is imperative, with sanctions applicable for non-compliance.

This policy underscores Jurnal Riset Kimia's commitment to upholding the highest standards of academic publishing. The policy is based on the Core Practices from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)
