Publication Ethics

 

1.Author Ethics

  • ❧Originality of the manuscript: Authors must guarantee that the submitted manuscript is an original work, has not been previously published, and is not under review at any other journal.
  • ❧Anti-plagiarism: Authors are prohibited from copying part or all of another person's work without properly citing the source in accordance with academic ethical standards.
  • ❧Data transparency: Authors must present the data used in their research honestly, accurately, and transparently so that it can be verified by other parties.
  • ❧Author contribution: Names listed as authors must be individuals who made a significant contribution to the research and article writing process. Any change in the order or list of authors after the manuscript has been submitted requires the approval of all authors and must be reported to the editor along with the reasons for the change.
  • ❧Disclosure of conflicts of interest: Authors must disclose sources of research funding, institutional affiliations, or other relationships that could potentially affect the objectivity and interpretation of the research results.
  • ❧Correction and retraction of manuscripts: If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in a published article, the author must promptly notify the journal editor and cooperate in the correction or retraction process.
  • ❧Research ethics: For research involving human data or participation (such as interviews or surveys in the study of Islamic law and Islamic economics), authors must ensure that the research is conducted in accordance with research ethics principles, including protecting the confidentiality of respondents' identities.

2.Editor Ethics

  • ❧Fairness and objectivity: Editors evaluate manuscripts fairly and objectively, based on the suitability of the content with the scope of the JHIES journal, without regard to the race, gender, religion, nationality, or institutional affiliation of the author.
  • ❧Basis of decision-making: Decisions to accept or reject a manuscript are based on the results of the reviewers' assessment, compliance with editorial board policy, and applicable legal considerations, including potential plagiarism or copyright infringement.
  • ❧Confidentiality: Editors must maintain the confidentiality of all submitted manuscripts and must not disclose the content of a manuscript to unauthorized parties, except to reviewers and relevant editorial staff.
  • ❧Prohibition on the use of manuscripts: Editors are not permitted to use information from an unpublished manuscript for personal or institutional gain without the written consent of the author.
  • ❧Editor's conflict of interest: Editors must recuse themselves from the editorial process of a manuscript if they have a personal, professional, or institutional relationship with the author that could potentially affect the objectivity of the decision.
  • ❧Handling of alleged ethical violations: Editors must follow up on any report or allegation of a publication ethics violation, including plagiarism, data fabrication, or authorship disputes, through a transparent investigative process, and are entitled to request clarification from relevant parties before making a final decision.

3.Reviewer Ethics

  • ❧Objectivity and scholarly argumentation: Reviewers must provide honest, fair, and objective assessments, supported by argumentation based on scholarly principles.
  • ❧Confidentiality: Reviewers appointed by the editorial team are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript under review and must not share it with any other party.
  • ❧Prohibition on the use of manuscripts: Reviewers are not permitted to use part or all of the contents of a manuscript for personal gain or to publish it under their own name.
  • ❧Timeliness: Reviewers must complete the review process within the timeframe agreed upon with the editor, or promptly inform the editor if they are unable to meet that deadline.
  • ❧Detection of similarity and manuscript integrity: Reviewers must report to the editor if they find substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under review and other published work that has not been cited by the author.
  • ❧Reviewer's conflict of interest: Reviewers must decline to review a manuscript if they have a competitive, collaborative, or other personal/professional relationship with the author that could affect the objectivity of the assessment.
  • ❧Review communication ethics: Reviewers must deliver criticism and feedback constructively, based on scholarly argument, and must not make comments that are personal, offensive, or demeaning to the author.
