AIJIEF Publication Ethics

Publication of articles in scientific journals is an important part of the development of science. The publication is a direct reflection on the quality of the works of authors and institutions that shelter. This article supports and embodies the scientific approach. Therefore, we need a standard of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the publication: journal editors, reviewers, and authors.

This publication ethics was adopted by the ethics policy of the publication of Elsevier.

Author's Code of Ethics

The author's code of ethics aims to produce original work, not plagiarism. And to maintain the originality of the work.

A. Writing Standard and Originality

Authors should ensure that they have written original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, it has been appropriately cited or quoted and permission has been obtained where necessary.

Data that supports research must also be presented accurately and included in the paper. Papers must contain sufficient detail and references to enable others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or intentionally inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Professional published reviews and articles must also be accurate and objective, and editorial 'opinion' works must be clearly identified.

In parliamentary law, to uphold truth and benefit, as well as the meaning of the information shared, so as not to mislead, the writer must be able to:

  1. Write carefully, thoroughly, and precisely.
  2. Academically responsible for his writing.
  3. Creating works that give benefits to the user community.
  4. Uphold the rights, opinions, or findings of others.
  5. Fully aware of the violations in writing.

It is expected that the writing conforms to the rules of AIJIEF. Scientific literature must accompany the scientific literature writings' rules and be different from popular writing or other compositions. The measures of scientific writing should be:

  1. Objective: based on actual conditions,
  2. Up to date: writing is the development of cutting-edge science,
  3. Rational: serves as a vehicle for the delivery of mutual critique,
  4. Reserved: not overcoming, honest, straight, and not personally moved,
  5. Effective and Efficient: writing is a high-powered communication medium

B. Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted and permission has been obtained where necessary.

Plagiarism takes many forms, from ‘passing off' another's paper as the author's own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical behavior and is unacceptable.

The author is suspected of violating the scientific research code of ethics if it contains elements of falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism.

  • Falsification

Falsification of data can be interpreted as modifying data according to the author's interests, especially to conform to the 'desired' conclusions drawn from a sketch.

  • Data Fabrication

Data fabrication is plagiarism by 'trumping up' data or creating data that doesn't actually exist or more commonly creating fictitious data that supports the research.

  • Plagiarism

Plagiarism is taking someone else's words or sentences or text without giving sufficient credit (in quotations). Plagiarism is considered to be deliberately committing 'persecution' because there is coercion in taking other people's words/ideas without permission. Classification of plagiarism can be obtained depending on various aspects of view and in terms of the stolen substance.

  1. From the objective level
  2. In terms of volume/proportion
  • Mild plagiarism: <30%
  • Moderate plagiarism: 30-70%
  • Heavy plagiarism: > 70%
  1. In the form of theft, plagiarism can be done verbatim or can be sourced from various informants and in their own words (mosaic).
  2. Based on individual sources of ideas, there is also what is known as Auto-plagiarism / self-plagiarism: If a work has been published before, then when we get the idea, it must include a citation or quote. Differently, this can be considered auto-plagiarism or self-plagiarism. This is a concern because if it is intended or later implemented to increase academic credit, it can be seen as a serious violation of the academic moral philosophy.

C. Term of Manuscript Submitted

The author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal of primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical behavior and is unacceptable.

In general, an author should not submit for consideration in another journal a paper that has been previously published, except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis, or as an electronic preprint.

The author must be able to ensure that the submitted manuscript is not being submitted to another journal at the same time. if the submitted manuscript has been published or is in the process of being published in another journal, the author must immediately inform the journal editor.

D. Authorship

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made substantial contributions should be listed as co-authors. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors are included in the paper, have seen and approved the final version of the paper, and have agreed to its submission for publication. Authors are expected to take collective responsibility for the work.

E. The Use of Generative AI and AI-assisted Technologies

Authors that use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, should only use it to improve readability and language of the work. Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control. Authors should carefully review and edit the result because AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete, or biased. The authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.

Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies. It statement should appear in the published work. Declaring the use of these technologies supports transparency and trust between authors, readers, reviewers, editors, and contributors and facilitates compliance with the terms of use of the relevant tool or technology.

F. Fundamental Error in Published Article

If the author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their own published work, they have the obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper if deemed necessary by the editor. If the error is discovered by a third party, it is the obligation of the author to cooperate with the editor, including providing evidence to the editor where requested.

Editor's Code of Ethics

Airlangga International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance editors are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The decision is based on the validation of an article, article contributions for researchers and readers, and suitability with the scope and theme of the journal.

The editor shall follow best practices in avoiding the selection of fraudulent peer reviewers. The editor shall review all disclosures of potential conflicts of interest and suggestions for self-citation made by reviewers in order to determine whether there is any potential for bias.

E. The Use of Generative AI and AI-assisted Technologies

A submitted manuscript must be treated as a confidential document. Editors should not upload a submitted manuscript or any part of it into a generative AI tool as this may violate the authors' confidentiality and proprietary rights and, where the paper contains personally identifiable information, may breach data privacy rights.
