Publication Ethics and Policies

Principles, responsibilities, and procedures supporting responsible scholarly publishing.

Commitment to Publication Integrity

Jurnal Riset Kimia (JRK) is committed to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. Authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher are expected to act honestly, disclose relevant interests, respect research participants and research materials, and correct the record when necessary. The journal considers concerns including plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated or falsified data, inappropriate image manipulation, undisclosed conflicts of interest, authorship disputes, citation manipulation, and breaches of research ethics.

Reporting and Handling Concerns

Concerns may be sent to the Editor-in-Chief through the contact details on the journal website. JRK will assess concerns fairly and confidentially, preserve relevant records, and follow applicable Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidance where appropriate.

A person directly implicated in a concern must not handle it. Those whose conduct is questioned will be given a reasonable opportunity to respond before an adverse decision is made, except where immediate action is needed to protect individuals or the scholarly record. The journal may consult institutions, funders, or other competent bodies when an investigation falls beyond its remit.

Editorial Independence and Accountability

Editorial decisions are based on journal scope, peer-review evidence, research integrity, and scholarly merit. Editors and reviewers must disclose conflicts of interest and recuse themselves when impartiality cannot be assured. Fees, sponsorship, advertising, and institutional relationships must not determine editorial decisions.

When warranted by evidence, JRK may reject manuscripts or issue corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern about published material. Its policies apply to submissions, published articles, and post-publication concerns.
