Ethical guidelines for journal publication (These guidelines are based on Elsevier policies and COPE)
Jurnal Teknologi dan Industri Pangan (JTIP) or Journal of Food Technology and Industry is a double-blind peer reviewed and open access journal, focusing on publishing original and recent research manuscripts pertaining food science, food technology, nutrition, and food industry especially of tropical resources.
JTIP publishes articles that develop coherent and respected network of food and nutrition knowledge. Hence, it is important to agree upon standards of the expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the Authors, the Journal Editors, the Peer Reviewers, the Publisher and the society.
The IAFT/PATPI (The Indonesian Association of Food Technologists/Perhimpunan Ahli Teknologi Pangan Indonesia) and the Department of Food Science and Technology, Faculty of Agricultural Technology and Engineering, IPB University as the publisher of Jurnal Teknologi dan Industri Pangan (JTIP) take their duties of guardianship at all stages of publishing process and recognize their ethical and other responsibilities.
Duties of Authors (These guidelines are based on Elsevier policies and COPE)
Reporting standards
Authors should present accurate results of their work as well as perform an objective discussion of its significance. Data should be interpreted and presented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient details and references in order to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constituting unethical behavior are unacceptable.
Data access and retention
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data of the paper for editorial review and decision. They should also be prepared to provide public access to such data, if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain for a reasonable time after publication.
Originality and plagiarism
The authors should ensure that they have written entirely their original works, therefore all articles published are original articles. If authors use the work and/or words of others, it has to be appropriately cited or quoted. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Plagiarism takes many forms, from passing off another paper as the author own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another paper (without attribution), and to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. All of submitted works will be checked by an anti-plagiarism software (Turnitin).
Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication
An author must not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior, and this is unacceptable.
Acknowledgement of sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given for those contributing to financial or materials or facilities or technical supporting sources.
Authorship of the paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made the significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. First author should be the one who contributed most to the work, including manuscript preparation. The sequence of authors should be determined by the relative contributions to the manuscript. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics in manuscripts for authors
JTIP does not accept AI as an author in any articles. AI should only be used as part of the method and transparently disclosed in the manuscript, but should not be listed as an author. The content of manuscripts produced by AI cannot be accounted. Human authors must create, explain, and defend every part of the scientific work. The production of images or graphics should also not use AI.
Hazards and human or animal subjects
If the work involves chemicals or procedures that have inherent hazards in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the author should ensure and state in the manuscript that all procedures are in compliance with laws, ethical principles and institutional guidelines
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest which should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding from companies or institutions which are connected to the article.
Fundamental errors in published works
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the authors’ obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.
Duties of Reviewers (These guidelines are based on Elsevier policies and COPE)
Contribution to editorial decisions
Reviewers have an important role in peer review process. They assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.
Promptness
Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself/herself from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. It must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the journal editor.
Standards of objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their scientific views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgement of sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscripts under consideration and any other published papers.
Disclosure and conflict of interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider the manuscript in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the paper.
Duties of the Editorial Board (These guidelines are based on Elsevier policies and COPE)
Publication decisions
The editor of JTIP is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. Articles should be accurate and objective, and editorial opinion works should be clearly identified as such. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editor may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision. Editors take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of papers where research misconduct has occurred, including plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification/fabrication, among others prior to peer review process.
Fair play
An editor should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality
The editor and any 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, as appropriate.
Involvement and cooperation in investigations
Reasonably responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper should be taken, include contacting the author of the manuscript or paper and giving due consideration of the respective complaint or claims made, but may also include further communications to the relevant institutions and research bodies. If the complaint is upheld, the publication of a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note, may be taken. Every reported unethical publishing behavior must be looked into, even if it is discovered years after publication.
Erratum Corrigendum
All published article content is through an editorial review process. The addition of material requires peer review as a new manuscript, while the replacement of article content may result in an erratum or corrigendum.
Erratum: Authors should request corrections to the proof provided by the editorial team if they find errors before final publication.
Corrigendum: When changes are made to an accepted article, the author should contact the journal editor, who will determine the impact of the changes and decide on the appropriate action.
