Ethics, Integrity, & Misconduct

Publication Ethics

Lembaran Antropologi adheres to the ethical standards and guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and is firmly committed to maintaining the integrity of the scholarly publication process. We strongly oppose all forms of plagiarism, duplicate publication, and simultaneous submissions. We require that all manuscripts submitted to the journal represent original work that has not been previously published or submitted elsewhere for consideration. This publication ethics statement outlines the responsibilities and expected ethical conduct of all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, editors, members of the Editorial Board, peer reviewers, and the publisher. To uphold these standards, the journal's editorial office conducts screening and cross-checking procedures to ensure the originality of submitted manuscripts and to verify that they have not been published prior to submission.

Authorship and Co-authorship

Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made substantial contributions to the research and manuscript. Authors should not list AI tools as an author or co-author, nor cite AI tools as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans. Authors must provide a declaration of their respective contributions during submission.

Any change in authorship after submission must be approved by all authors, supported by a written justification, and submitted to the editor for review. Changes after the final revision will only be considered under exceptional circumstances.

Gift, ghost, and honorary authorship are prohibited and may result in corrective action in accordance with COPE guidelines. Individuals who contributed to the work but do not meet authorship criteria should be acknowledged with their permission.

 

 

Data Availability

Authors must report research methods and findings accurately, transparently, and in sufficient detail to support verification and, where appropriate, reproducibility. The use of AI in the research or manuscript preparation process must be disclosed.

Data fabrication, falsification, or inappropriate manipulation are prohibited and may result in rejection, retraction, or other corrective actions. Authors are encouraged to make research data available through appropriate repositories or, where this is not possible, to clearly explain any restrictions on data access.

The editorial team may request access to underlying data to verify reported findings. Transparency, data integrity, and reproducibility are essential principles of responsible scholarly publishing.
