JALLREV (Jallu Law Review) is a peer-reviewed open-access journal committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics. This statement clarifies the ethical behavior expected of all parties involved in the publication process—namely, the author(s), the editor-in-chief, the editorial board, the peer reviewers, and the publisher (Yayasan Jallu Nusantara Indonesia).

This statement refers to the COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and serves as a code of conduct to ensure integrity, fairness, and transparency throughout the publication process.


Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication

The publication of an article in JALLREV represents a significant contribution to the development of a credible and coherent body of legal scholarship. The quality of published articles reflects the academic integrity of the authors and the institutions that support them. Therefore, all parties involved in the publication process must adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct.

Yayasan Jallu Nusantara Indonesia, as the publisher of JALLREV, takes its responsibilities in all stages of publication seriously. The publisher ensures that editorial decisions are not influenced by advertising, reprint, or any commercial considerations. The editorial board will assist in communications with other journals or publishers where necessary.


Duties of Editors

Publication Decisions
The editor of JALLREV is responsible for deciding which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published. Decisions are based on the manuscript’s importance, originality, and clarity, as well as its relevance to the journal’s focus and scope. Editors act in accordance with the policies of the editorial board and legal requirements concerning defamation, copyright, and plagiarism.

Fair Play
Editors evaluate manuscripts solely on their intellectual merit, without regard to the authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political ideology.

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

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor’s own research without the express written consent of the author.


Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists editors in making publication decisions and may help authors improve their manuscripts through constructive feedback.

Promptness
Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research or unable to complete the review promptly should notify the editor and withdraw from the process.

Confidentiality
Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential and must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgment of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors and report any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript and other published papers.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Information obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should decline to review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships.


Duties of Authors

Reporting Standards
Authors must present an accurate account of their research along with an objective discussion of its significance. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior.

Data Access and Retention
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data underlying their paper for editorial review and should be prepared to make such data publicly available if possible.

Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original. Proper citation and quotation must be used when referring to others’ work. JALLREV strictly prohibits plagiarism and self-plagiarism.

Multiple or Concurrent Publication
Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of others’ work must always be given, and all influential publications should be cited appropriately.

Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to those who made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. All co-authors should have seen and approved the final version of the paper and agreed to its submission.

Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects
If the research involves hazardous materials, procedures, or equipment, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Authors should disclose any financial or substantive conflict of interest that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support must be acknowledged.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works
When an author discovers a significant error in their published work, it is their duty to promptly notify the editor or publisher and cooperate to retract or correct the article.
