Publication Ethics

Prosiding SENALA: Seminar Nasional Linguistik Indonesia is a peer-reviewed proceeding published by Prodi Linguistik Indonesia FISIBPOL UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur, dedicated to maintaining high ethical standards in its publication process. This journal adheres to the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), customized to support both international norms and specific local contexts relevant to digital literary studies.

Commitment to integrity: As the publisher, Prodi Linguistik Indonesia is committed to preserving the integrity of the publication process at every stage, ensuring that editorial decisions are free from commercial influences such as advertising or reprint revenues.

Local ethical considerations: This proceeding upholds ethical standards tailored to the Indonesian context, including:

• Respect for diversity: All publications must honor the cultural, social, and legal norms of Indonesia, avoiding content that might harm the integrity of any local traditions or communities.
• Adherence to local legal norms: Research involving Indonesian subjects must comply with national research ethics guidelines, including obtaining the necessary ethical approvals.
• Protection of indigenous knowledge: Research that involves indigenous practices, traditions, or knowledge must acknowledge and safeguard the rights of local communities, ensuring proper consent and mechanisms for benefit-sharing.

Publication decisions: The chief editor is responsible for deciding which of the submitted articles are published, guided by the journal's editorial policies and mindful of legal requirements related to libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Fairness in editorial practices: Editors evaluate manuscripts based solely on their intellectual content, without discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must maintain confidentiality concerning submitted manuscripts, disclosing information only to the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher as necessary.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest: Any unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the explicit written consent of the author.

Duties of reviewers:

• Contribution to editorial decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and may also help the author improve the manuscript.
• Promptness: Reviewers who feel unqualified to review the research presented in a manuscript or who know they cannot provide a prompt review should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.
• Objectivity standards: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate, and reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
• Recognition of sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work not cited by the authors and alert the editor to any substantial similarity or overlap between the considered manuscript and any other published paper.

Duties of authors:

• Reporting standards: Authors must present an accurate account of the research performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be accurately represented in the manuscript.
• Data access and retention: Authors should be prepared to provide raw data related to their manuscript for editorial review and possibly make it publicly accessible if practicable.
• Originality and plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, appropriately citing or quoting the work and words of others.
• Multiple, redundant, or concurrent publication: Manuscripts describing essentially the same research should not be published in more than one journal or primary publication. Simultaneously submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal is unethical and unacceptable.
• Acknowledgment of sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given, citing publications that have influenced the reported work.
• Fundamental errors in published works: If authors discover significant errors in their published work, they must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher to retract or correct the paper.
