Publication Ethics

Responsibility. Pandawan Sejahtera Indonesia, as the publisher of ITEE, supports all stages of publication and ensures that advertising, reprint, and other commercial revenue has no influence on editorial decisions. The publisher assists in communication with other journals or publishers where necessary.

Publication decisions. The Editor decides which manuscripts are published, based on the validity of the work and its importance to researchers and readers, and within the legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Fair play. Manuscripts are evaluated on their intellectual content without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political views of the authors.

Confidentiality. Editors do not disclose information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Conflicts of interest. Unpublished material in a submitted manuscript is not used in an editor's own research without the written consent of the author. Editors withdraw from handling manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest.

Citation practice. Editors and reviewers do not require authors to cite articles from ITEE or from other journals of the same publisher.

Contribution to editorial decisions. Peer review assists the Editor in making decisions and helps authors improve their manuscripts.

Promptness. Reviewers who feel unqualified to review a manuscript, or who cannot complete the review on time, notify the Editor and withdraw from the review.

Confidentiality. Manuscripts received for review are treated as confidential documents and are not shown to or discussed with others without the Editor's authorisation.

Objectivity. Reviews are conducted objectively and supported by clear arguments. Personal criticism of the authors is not appropriate.

Acknowledgement of sources. Reviewers identify relevant published work not cited by the authors and inform the Editor of any substantial similarity with other published work.

Conflicts of interest. Reviewers do not review manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with the authors or institutions involved.

Reporting standards. Authors present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance, with sufficient detail to allow others to replicate the work.

Data access and retention. Authors may be asked to provide the raw data of their study for editorial review and should retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and plagiarism. Authors ensure that their work is entirely original and that the work or words of others are properly cited or quoted.

Multiple or concurrent publication. Authors do not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time or publish the same research in more than one primary publication.

Authorship. Authorship is limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. The corresponding author ensures that all co-authors have approved the final version and its submission.

Disclosure of conflicts of interest and funding. Authors disclose any financial or other conflict of interest and all sources of financial support for the study.

Errors in published works. Authors who discover a significant error in their published work promptly notify the Editor and cooperate in correcting or retracting the article.

Corrections and Retractions

Where an error or a case of misconduct is identified in a published article, ITEE publishes a correction, an expression of concern, or a retraction in accordance with the COPE guidelines. Retracted articles remain available online and are clearly marked as retracted.

Complaints

Complaints regarding the editorial process or the conduct of the journal may be submitted to itee@pandawan.id. All complaints are acknowledged within five (5) working days and are handled fairly for all parties involved.
