Publication Ethic and Malpractice Statement

Jurnal Teknik Industri generally follows the standards and guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), particularly regarding misconduct and fraud, as well as the appropriate procedures for handling such cases. COPE provides a code of conduct with best practices in publishing and flowcharts that outline the necessary steps publishers and editors should take to identify and prevent the publication of articles involving research misconduct.

If the journal's publisher or editors become aware of any allegations of research misconduct, they are responsible for addressing these allegations appropriately. Jurnal Teknik Industri  will follow the recommendations for handling misconduct as described in the "Dealing with Misconduct" section of The COPE Report 1999 (page 46).

Jurnal Teknik Industri  also adheres to the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing as defined by COPE and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). In accordance with these principles, several journal policies have been implemented and are described below.

Journal policies on authorship and contributorship

1. Authorship

Authors of Jurnal Teknik Industri  are required to adhere to international standards of academic authorship ethics as outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

COPE establishes that authorship should be based on the following four criteria:

1. Significant contributions to the conception or design of the research, or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data; AND
2. Active involvement in drafting or critically revising the manuscript for important intellectual content; AND
3. Final approval of the version to be published; AND
4. Accountability for all aspects of the work, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the research, and addressing any concerns that arise.

All individuals designated as authors in Jurnal Teknik Industri  must meet these four criteria. Conversely, anyone meeting these criteria should be acknowledged as an author.

We encourage researchers, particularly early-career scholars, to refer to COPE’s authorship guidelines, which offer insights into ethical authorship practices and how to handle disputes.

2. Contributorship

Contributors who do not meet the full authorship criteria will be acknowledged in the appropriate section. 

3. Corresponding Author

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all listed authors have consented to the manuscript submission, are aware of the peer review process, and understand any associated publication costs.

Readers are encouraged to contact the corresponding author via email for discussions related to the scientific content of Jurnal Teknik Industri articles.

4. Changes in Authorship

Authorship should be carefully determined before submission. Any request for changes—including additions, removals, or reordering of author names—must be approved by all listed authors, including those being added or removed. The corresponding author must submit an Authorship Change Form with signed consent from all authors and provide a rationale for the modification.

Requests for authorship changes after publication will be reviewed, and if approved, a Correction Notice will be issued.

For more details, refer to the COPE guidelines on:

• Adding an author – before publication
• Removing an author – before publication
• Removing an author – after publication

5. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Assisted Technology

When submitting a manuscript to Jurnal Mahasiswa Dirgantara, authors are required to disclose whether they have used AI-assisted technologies, such as Large Language Models (LLMs), chatbots, or image generators, in the preparation of their work.

Authors using AI technology must provide a transparent declaration, which includes:

1. The name of the AI technology used (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly, or DALL-E).
2. The reason for using AI technology (e.g., for language editing or data visualization).
3. How the AI technology was used (e.g., for text generation, data analysis, or image creation).

This declaration must be included in both the cover letter and the appropriate section of the manuscript. For example:

• If AI was used for writing assistance, it should be mentioned in the Acknowledgments section.
• If AI was used for data collection, analysis, or figure generation, its usage should be described in the Methods section.

Additionally, authors are encouraged to include a summary of the input, output, and the way AI-generated content was reviewed and edited as supplementary files or additional information for editorial review. Editors may request further details and/or require the inclusion of such information for internal use or publication.

Chatbots, such as ChatGPT, must not be listed as authors since AI cannot take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of the work, which are essential requirements for authorship. Therefore, full responsibility for the validity and integrity of the manuscript remains with the human authors.

Authors must carefully review and edit AI-generated content, as AI can produce authoritative-sounding text that may be incorrect, incomplete, or biased.

Authors must not list AI or AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author, nor cite AI as an author. Furthermore, authors must ensure that their manuscript does not contain plagiarism, including in text and images generated by AI.

Human authors must guarantee proper attribution of all quoted material, including complete references that comply with academic standards.

Conditions for Submission – Plagiarism, Self-Plagiarism, Duplicate, and Preprint Submissions

Jurnal Teknik Industri upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and only considers original and unpublished scholarly work. Submitting a manuscript to Jurnal Teknik Industri   signifies that the work has not been published elsewhere and is not under review in another journal or publication.

1. Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined as the use of text, data, or findings from another source without proper acknowledgment, while self-plagiarism refers to the unauthorized reuse of an author's own previously published content without appropriate citation or disclosure. Both are considered serious violations of ethical publishing practices.

To maintain the originality and integrity of published work, Jurnal Teknik Industri employs plagiarism detection tools to screen all submitted manuscripts. This ensures that instances of text recycling, improper citation, or duplication are identified before publication.

Authors uncertain about best practices for avoiding plagiarism and self-plagiarism are encouraged to refer to academic integrity guidelines from reputable institutions, including:

• Plagiarism.org
• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
• Stanford University
• University of Toronto
• Université Paris-Saclay

2. Duplicate (Redundant) Publications

Duplicate or redundant publications occur when an author submits or publishes substantially the same work in multiple venues without proper cross-referencing. This includes overlapping assumptions, data, discussions, or conclusions.

If an article has been previously published in another language, full disclosure of the original source must be provided at the time of submission. Similarly, if an abstract has appeared in a conference proceeding, it may still be submitted to Jurnal Mahasiswa Dirgantara, provided that the prior publication is fully cited. For more details, authors can refer to of COPE’s Guidelines on Good Publication Practice.

If any previously published content is found in a submission without proper attribution or necessary permissions, the Editors-in-Chief will contact the authors for clarification. Jurnal Teknik Industri follows COPE’s official guidelines in handling such cases. Different COPE procedures apply when plagiarism is identified in a published article.

3. Preprint Policy

Authors submitting to Jurnal Teknik Industri  may upload their Author’s Original Manuscript (AOM) to a non-commercial preprint server (e.g., arXiv, PeerJ Preprints, HAL) at any stage before acceptance. However, the preprint platform must allow authors to retain full copyright and re-use rights.

A citation linking to the original preprint version must be included in the manuscript at submission or during the review process.

Once an article is officially published in Jurnal Teknik Industri, authors are encouraged to update their preprint version with a link to the final published article to enable readers to access, cite, and refer to the peer-reviewed version while ensuring compliance with licensing requirements.

Jurnal Teknik Industri does not consider manuscripts that have already been formally published or are under active review in another journal or book.
