The publication of an article in JUITA (Jurnal Ilmiah Tafsir Alkitab) is a critical contribution to the development of a respected and coherent body of knowledge in the fields of biblical exegesis, theology, and hermeneutics. It reflects the quality of the work presented by the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles represent the embodiment of scholarly research and scientific methods. Therefore, it is essential to agree on the standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the publication process: the author(s), editor(s), reviewers, publisher, and society. JUITA is committed to ensuring that its ethical standards are upheld at every stage of the publication process.
The following ethical guidelines are based on Elsevier’s Publishing Ethics and COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Duties of Editors
Publication Decisions
The editor-in-chief of JUITA is responsible for making decisions about which articles will be published, guided by the policies of the editorial board and the best interests of the scholarly community. Editorial decisions should be based on the importance of the manuscript for researchers and readers. Editors are also guided by legal requirements concerning libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may consult with other editors or reviewers to make their final decision.
Fairness
Editors will evaluate manuscripts based solely on intellectual content without discrimination or bias based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality
Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information regarding a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, or the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Unpublished material disclosed in a manuscript should not be used in an editor’s own research without the written consent of the author.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer reviews assist the editor in making decisions about the manuscript, and through editorial communication with authors, help improve the manuscript.
Promptness
Reviewers should notify the editor if they feel unqualified to review the manuscript or cannot complete the review promptly. Reviewers should excuse themselves from the process if necessary.
Confidentiality
Reviewers should treat all manuscripts received for review as confidential documents. They should not share or discuss the manuscript with others unless authorized by the editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be objective and constructive. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should provide clear, well-supported arguments.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any significant overlap or similarity between the manuscript under consideration and any other published work should be brought to the editor’s attention.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Reviewers should not use privileged information or ideas obtained through the review process for personal gain. They should not review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest, including competitive or collaborative relationships with the authors, companies, or institutions involved.
Duties of Authors
Reporting Standards
Authors should present accurate accounts of the work undertaken, as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data should be accurately represented in the paper. A manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to enable others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements are considered unethical and unacceptable.
Originality and Plagiarism
Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original. If they have used the work or words of others, they must properly cite or quote these sources.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
Authors should not submit manuscripts describing the same research to more than one journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently is unethical.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite all publications that have influenced their research.
Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. All contributors should be listed as co-authors, while others who participated substantively should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors are appropriately included and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors should disclose any financial or other conflicts of interest in their manuscript that might influence the results or interpretation of the manuscript. All sources of financial support should be disclosed.
Fundamental Errors in Published Works
If authors discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they should promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with them to retract or correct the paper.
