Publication Ethics

Jurnal Persada Husada Indonesia adheres to the Regulation of the Head of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) Number 5 of 2014 concerning the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publication, which refers to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

This Code of Ethics upholds three fundamental ethical principles in scientific publication:

  1. Neutrality – Freedom from conflicts of interest in journal management and the publication process.
  2. Fairness – Granting authorship rights only to individuals who meet the criteria for authorship.
  3. Honesty – Ensuring that publications are free from duplication, fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism (DF2P).

This ethical policy applies to all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, editorial board members, peer reviewers, and the publisher.

All research involving human subjects must comply with the ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Research involving animals must follow the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research developed by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS).
