Every author listed in a manuscript submitted to the Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia (JPI) must have made a genuine scholarly contribution to the research and/or the preparation of the manuscript. All authors must read and approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission for consideration for publication.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all authors have approved the manuscript's content, the order of authorship, and the submission of the article to the journal.

Any addition, removal, or change in the order of authors after submission must be supported by a clear justification and written consent from all affected authors, and must receive approval from the editor. Each author must also provide an accurate account of their contributions and refrain from any form of authorship misconduct that violates the principles of publication ethics.

By submitting a manuscript to JPI, the authors confirm that all authorship information provided is accurate and can be academically justified and accounted for.

The Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia (JPI) accepts scholarly manuscripts that align with the journal's focus and scope in education, teaching and learning, educational research, curriculum development, educational technology, teacher education, and other relevant areas of educational studies.

The journal considers the following types of manuscripts for publication:

1. Original Research Articles

Original Research Articles present the findings of original empirical research conducted by the authors. These articles should address relevant educational problems, provide a clear research objective, employ appropriate research methods, and offer findings that contribute to the advancement of educational knowledge and practice.

Manuscripts should generally include the title, author information, abstract, keywords, introduction, research methods, results and discussion, conclusion, and references. The structure may be adjusted according to the research design and the journal's formatting requirements.

2. Review Articles

Review Articles provide a systematic, critical, or integrative examination of existing scholarly literature on a specific topic within education. These articles should synthesize relevant research, identify patterns and developments, evaluate existing findings, and highlight research gaps or directions for future studies.

Authors must clearly explain their literature search and selection methods when applicable. Systematic reviews should report their methodology transparently and follow appropriate reporting standards where relevant. Review articles should offer a meaningful synthesis and critical analysis rather than merely summarize previously published studies.

3. Short Communications

Short Communications present concise scholarly contributions concerning significant preliminary findings, focused research results, emerging educational issues, or methodological insights relevant to the journal's scope. These manuscripts should communicate a clear and meaningful contribution without the length of a full research article.

Although shorter in length, Short Communications must meet the journal's standards for scholarly quality, methodological rigor where applicable, appropriate referencing, and publication ethics. Authors should follow any specific length and formatting requirements established by the journal.

General Requirements

All manuscripts must be original, relevant to the focus and scope of JPI, appropriately referenced, and prepared in accordance with the journal's Author Guidelines and publication ethics policies.

Manuscripts must not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication in another journal. All submissions are subject to an initial editorial assessment and, where deemed suitable, the journal's peer-review process. Submission does not guarantee acceptance or publication.

Plagiarism Policy

The Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia (JPI) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and ethical standards in scholarly publishing. All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original, properly referenced, and free from plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct.

Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the use of another person's words, ideas, data, findings, or other intellectual work without appropriate acknowledgment of the original source. Plagiarism may include direct copying without proper quotation and citation, inadequate paraphrasing, misuse of sources, and presenting another person's work as one's own. Self-plagiarism and redundant publication, including the reuse of previously published material without appropriate disclosure, may also constitute publication ethics concerns.

Plagiarism Screening

All manuscripts submitted to JPI may be screened using plagiarism detection software or other appropriate similarity-checking tools before or during the editorial process. The screening process helps editors identify overlapping text and potential cases of unattributed reuse.

Similarity Assessment

Similarity reports are assessed by the editorial team in context. A similarity score alone does not establish whether plagiarism has occurred. Editors consider the nature, extent, location, and source of the overlap, including quotations, references, commonly used terminology, and properly cited material.

Similarity Threshold

JPI evaluates similarity reports according to the journal's editorial standards and the circumstances of each manuscript. Any numerical similarity threshold adopted by the journal should be stated clearly and applied consistently. Manuscripts with substantial unattributed overlap or other indications of plagiarism may be returned for revision or rejected, depending on the severity of the findings.

Actions in Cases of Plagiarism

If potential plagiarism is identified, the editorial team may conduct further assessment and request an explanation from the author(s). Depending on the nature and severity of the case, the journal may take appropriate action, including requesting corrections, requiring substantial revision, rejecting the manuscript, or taking post-publication action in accordance with the journal's publication ethics and retraction policies.

Where serious misconduct is suspected, JPI may contact the relevant institution or other appropriate parties when necessary and appropriate. All cases will be handled fairly, confidentially where possible, and based on the available evidence.

Authors' Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all sources are properly cited, quotations are clearly identified, paraphrased material is appropriately attributed, and permissions are obtained for third-party content when required. Authors must also disclose relevant prior publication or overlapping submissions and avoid submitting manuscripts that reproduce previously published work without proper acknowledgment and justification.

Commitment to Publication Ethics

JPI expects all authors, editors, and reviewers to uphold the principles of academic integrity and responsible research. The journal is committed to addressing plagiarism concerns consistently and transparently to protect the credibility of the scholarly record.

Allegations of Research Misconduct

The Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia (JPI) is committed to maintaining the integrity, credibility, and ethical standards of scholarly publishing. The journal takes all allegations of research misconduct seriously and handles them fairly, confidentially where appropriate, and in accordance with established publication ethics principles.

Definition of Research Misconduct

Research misconduct may include, but is not limited to, fabrication or falsification of research data, plagiarism, inappropriate authorship practices, manipulation of research results or images, duplicate publication, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and other practices that violate accepted standards of research integrity. Ethical concerns may also arise from the absence of required ethical approval, lack of informed consent where applicable, or misuse of confidential research data.

Reporting Allegations

Authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and other concerned parties may report suspected research misconduct to the editorial team of JPI through the journal's official contact channels. Reports should provide a clear description of the concern and, where available, relevant supporting evidence or documentation. Allegations should be made in good faith and should not be based solely on personal disputes or unsupported speculation.

Initial Assessment and Investigation

Upon receiving an allegation, the editorial team will conduct an initial assessment to determine whether the concern falls within the journal's responsibility and whether sufficient information is available for further review. The editor may request clarification, supporting documents, or a response from the author(s) concerned.

Where necessary, JPI may consult independent experts or contact the relevant institution or research organization to seek further clarification or request an appropriate investigation. The journal recognizes that institutions are generally better positioned to investigate alleged research misconduct involving access to research records, underlying data, or institutional procedures.

Fairness and Confidentiality

All allegations will be assessed objectively and without presuming that misconduct has occurred. The parties concerned will be given an appropriate opportunity to respond to the allegations. Information relating to the assessment will be handled confidentially to the extent reasonably possible, while allowing the journal to address the matter responsibly and protect the integrity of the scholarly record.

Actions and Outcomes

Depending on the nature and seriousness of the concern and the available evidence, JPI may take one or more appropriate actions, including requesting clarification or corrections, requiring additional documentation, suspending editorial processing while the matter is assessed, rejecting a manuscript, issuing a correction or expression of concern, or retracting a published article when justified.

Where appropriate, the journal may notify the relevant institution, publisher, or other responsible authority. Any action involving a published article will follow the journal's applicable correction and retraction policies and established publication ethics guidance.

False or Malicious Allegations

JPI expects all allegations to be raised responsibly and in good faith. Knowingly submitting false or malicious allegations may itself raise ethical concerns and may be addressed appropriately. However, an allegation will not be considered malicious merely because it cannot be substantiated.

Post-Publication Concerns

Concerns about research misconduct may be reported before or after publication. JPI is committed to reviewing credible post-publication concerns and taking proportionate action when necessary to correct the scholarly record and maintain trust in published research.

Commitment to Research Integrity

JPI is committed to promoting responsible research practices, protecting the integrity of the scholarly record, and ensuring that allegations of research misconduct are handled consistently, transparently, and fairly in accordance with publication ethics principles.

Conflict of Interest Policy

The Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia (JPI) is committed to maintaining transparency, objectivity, and integrity throughout the publication process. All authors, editors, reviewers, and other parties involved in the editorial process are required to disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest that could influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, the preparation, evaluation, or publication of a manuscript.

Definition of Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest occurs when personal, professional, financial, institutional, or other relationships may compromise, or appear to compromise, an individual's impartiality and judgment in scholarly research or publication. Such conflicts may arise from financial interests, employment, consulting activities, research funding, personal relationships, academic competition, institutional affiliations, or other circumstances that could affect editorial decisions or the interpretation of research findings.

Authors' Responsibilities

Authors must disclose all relevant conflicts of interest when submitting a manuscript to JPI. This includes financial support, funding sources, affiliations, personal relationships, or other interests that may have influenced the research, its interpretation, or the preparation of the manuscript.

If no relevant conflict of interest exists, authors should provide an explicit declaration stating that there are no conflicts of interest to disclose. All disclosures must be accurate, complete, and provided in accordance with the journal's submission requirements.

Editors' Responsibilities

Editors must disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest relating to a submitted manuscript. An editor who has a conflict of interest must not participate in the evaluation or decision-making process for that manuscript. The manuscript should be assigned to another qualified editor who can handle the review independently and impartially.

Reviewers' Responsibilities

Reviewers must disclose any circumstances that may affect their impartiality, including personal relationships with the authors, direct academic competition, institutional affiliations, financial interests, or other competing interests. If a conflict of interest cannot be appropriately managed, the reviewer should decline the invitation to review the manuscript.

Funding Disclosure

Authors must acknowledge all sources of financial support for the research and manuscript preparation. Where applicable, authors should also explain the role of the funding organization in the research design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, manuscript preparation, and decision to submit the work for publication.

Management of Conflicts of Interest

JPI will assess disclosed conflicts of interest and take appropriate measures to protect the fairness and independence of the editorial process. Such measures may include reassignment of editorial responsibilities, replacement of reviewers, requests for additional disclosure, or publication of a conflict-of-interest statement alongside the article where appropriate.

Failure to disclose a relevant conflict of interest may result in further editorial assessment and appropriate action in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies. For published articles, corrective action may be considered when undisclosed conflicts materially affect the integrity or interpretation of the work.

Commitment to Transparency

JPI expects all participants in the publication process to act honestly and transparently. The disclosure and appropriate management of conflicts of interest are essential to preserving editorial independence, reader trust, and the credibility of scholarly publications.

Post-Publication Discussion Policy

The Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia (JPI) recognizes the importance of scholarly discussion and critical evaluation after publication in advancing knowledge, encouraging academic dialogue, and maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record. The journal welcomes constructive feedback, comments, and concerns regarding articles published in JPI.

Submission of Post-Publication Comments

Readers, researchers, and other interested parties may submit comments, questions, or scholarly responses concerning articles published in JPI through the journal's official contact channels. Submissions should clearly identify the article concerned, explain the issues raised, and provide relevant evidence or references where appropriate.

Comments should be relevant to the published work, supported by reasonable academic arguments, and expressed in a professional and respectful manner. Personal attacks, defamatory statements, discriminatory language, and unsupported allegations are not acceptable.

Editorial Assessment

All submissions intended for post-publication discussion are subject to editorial assessment. The editor will consider their relevance, scholarly merit, factual basis, and compliance with the journal's publication ethics policies. Where appropriate, the editor may consult independent experts or invite the original author(s) to provide a response.

Authors' Right to Respond

Authors of the published article may be invited to respond to substantive comments or criticisms. Responses should address the issues raised in a clear, evidence-based, and professional manner. The journal aims to facilitate balanced academic discussion while ensuring that differing scholarly perspectives are treated fairly.

Publication of Comments and Responses

Comments and author responses that meet the journal's editorial standards may be published as correspondence, commentaries, or other appropriate scholarly contributions, subject to editorial approval and any applicable peer-review requirements.

Publication of a comment or response does not automatically imply endorsement by JPI of the views expressed. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy and content of their contributions.

Handling of Research Integrity Concerns

When post-publication comments raise credible concerns about the accuracy, reliability, ethical compliance, or integrity of a published article, JPI will assess the matter in accordance with its research misconduct, correction, and retraction policies.

Depending on the findings and the seriousness of the concern, the journal may request clarification, publish a correction, issue an expression of concern, or retract the article when justified. Such decisions will be based on the available evidence and established publication ethics principles.

Fairness and Confidentiality

JPI is committed to handling post-publication discussions fairly, objectively, and transparently. Personal information and confidential communications will be handled appropriately, and all parties will be given a reasonable opportunity to respond when necessary.

Commitment to Scholarly Dialogue

JPI encourages responsible post-publication discussion as part of its commitment to academic freedom, research integrity, and the continuous improvement of scholarly knowledge. The journal aims to ensure that legitimate academic criticism can be raised and addressed constructively while preserving the credibility of the published scholarly record.

Corrections and Retractions Policy

The Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia (JPI) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of the scholarly record. When errors or concerns are identified in published articles, the journal will assess the circumstances and take appropriate action in accordance with established publication ethics principles.

Corrections

A correction may be issued when an error is identified in a published article and the error can be addressed without invalidating the overall findings or conclusions of the work. Corrections may include errors in author information, affiliations, references, data presentation, figures, tables, or other content that requires clarification or amendment.

Requests for corrections may be submitted by authors, readers, editors, or other concerned parties through the journal's official contact channels. All requests will be assessed by the editorial team, which may seek clarification or supporting evidence before making a decision.

When a correction is approved, JPI will publish a correction notice that clearly identifies the affected article, describes the nature of the error, and explains the correction made. The original article will remain part of the scholarly record, with an appropriate link or notice connecting it to the correction whenever technically feasible.

Retractions

A retraction may be issued when there is clear evidence that a published article contains serious errors or research misconduct that substantially undermines the reliability, validity, or integrity of its findings. Grounds for retraction may include fabricated or falsified data, plagiarism, unethical research practices, duplicate publication, or other serious breaches of publication ethics.

Retraction decisions will be made by the editorial team based on the available evidence and the seriousness of the concerns. Where appropriate, JPI may seek clarification from the authors, consult independent experts, or contact the relevant institution or research organization before reaching a decision.

Retraction Procedure

When a retraction is considered necessary, JPI will follow a fair and transparent procedure. The authors will normally be informed of the concerns and given an opportunity to respond, unless exceptional circumstances require otherwise. A lack of agreement from the authors does not automatically prevent a retraction when the available evidence justifies such action.

If a retraction is issued, JPI will publish a retraction notice explaining the reason for the retraction and identifying the affected article. The notice will be linked to the original publication. The original article will generally remain accessible, clearly marked as retracted, to preserve the transparency and traceability of the scholarly record.

Expression of Concern

If substantial concerns arise regarding a published article but the available evidence is insufficient for an immediate correction or retraction decision, JPI may publish an expression of concern. This notice informs readers that the article is under investigation or that significant questions remain unresolved.

An expression of concern may be updated or followed by a correction, retraction, or other appropriate action when additional evidence becomes available.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are expected to notify JPI promptly if they discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work. They should cooperate with the editorial team in assessing the issue and provide relevant information or documentation when requested.

Editorial Independence and Transparency

All decisions concerning corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions will be made objectively and independently, based on the evidence available and the journal's publication ethics policies. The journal will aim to communicate decisions clearly and promptly while respecting confidentiality and applicable legal requirements.

Commitment to Publication Integrity

JPI is committed to correcting the scholarly record when necessary and ensuring that published research remains transparent, reliable, and accountable.
