Publication Ethics

This statement outlines the ethical responsibilities of all parties involved in publishing manuscripts in English Journal Antartika (EJA), managed by Media Antartika, including authors, editors, and reviewers. This statement is based on the best-practice principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

1. Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The publication of scholarly research plays an essential role in the development of reliable academic knowledge. English Journal Antartika publishes theoretical and empirical research that contributes to scientific advancement and the development of society. Maintaining ethical standards is therefore essential to ensuring the quality, credibility, and integrity of published articles.

Peer review supports the integrity of scientific research. Accordingly, authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher are expected to uphold appropriate ethical standards throughout the publication process. Media Antartika ensures that advertising, reprints, or other commercial activities do not influence editorial decisions.

2. Publication Decisions
The Editor-in-Chief of English Journal Antartika is responsible for making publication decisions based on the manuscript's academic quality, relevance, originality, and compliance with the journal's policies. These decisions take into consideration editorial assessments and reviewers' recommendations. The editorial process includes manuscript submission, initial screening, peer review, plagiarism and copyright checks, and final preparation for publication.

3. Non-Dicrimination
Editors and reviewers must evaluate manuscripts objectively based on their scholarly content and academic merit. Decisions must not be influenced by the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, citizenship, or political views.

4. Confidentiality
Editors and reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and all information related to the review process. Manuscript contents must not be disclosed to unauthorized individuals or parties without appropriate permission, except when disclosure is necessary for legitimate editorial purposes.

5. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Editors and reviewers must not use unpublished information or materials disclosed in submitted manuscripts for their own research or personal advantage without the authors' explicit written consent. All parties involved in the publication process must disclose potential conflicts of interest that could affect their judgment or objectivity.
