Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah

This statement describes the ethical responsibilities of all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, the editor-in-chief, the editorial board, and peer reviewers. The principles outlined below are based on the best-practice guidelines and core practices of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

1.1 Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The publication of articles in Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah is essential to developing a coherent and respected network of scholarly knowledge. Publication reflects the quality of the authors' work and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles contribute to the advancement of knowledge and support the scientific method.

All parties involved in the publication process must therefore agree to follow appropriate ethical standards. These parties include authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, and the publisher. Everyone involved is responsible for maintaining academic integrity, fairness, transparency, and accountability throughout the publication process.

2.1 Publication Decisions

The editor of Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah is responsible for deciding which submitted manuscripts should be published. These decisions must be based on the manuscript's scholarly merit, originality, relevance, and contribution to the field. Editors may be guided by the journal's editorial policies and must comply with applicable legal requirements concerning defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may consult other editors or reviewers when making publication decisions.

2.2 Fair Play

Editors must evaluate manuscripts solely on their intellectual and scholarly content, without discrimination based on the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

2.3 Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff must maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts. Information about a manuscript must not be disclosed to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, where appropriate.

2.4 Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Editors must disclose any conflict of interest, whether financial, institutional, personal, collaborative, or competitive, involving the authors, their institutions, or the subject of a manuscript. An editor with a conflict of interest must withdraw from handling the manuscript and must not participate in the editorial decision.

Editors must not handle or make decisions on their own manuscripts or manuscripts submitted by close colleagues or collaborators. Such manuscripts must be assigned to an independent editor who has no conflict of interest. The editor concerned must not have access to the review process or influence the final decision.

Members of the editorial team may publish in Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah only when their manuscripts are processed through the same procedures as other submissions. The handling editor and reviewers must be independent of the author, and the editorial team member must not participate in the review or decision-making process for their own manuscript. Peer reviewers must be independent of the editorial team.

Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the author's explicit written consent. Editorial decisions must remain independent of advertising, funding, institutional interests, and other commercial considerations.

3.1 Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists editors in making informed editorial decisions. Reviewers' feedback and communications with authors can also help authors improve the quality, clarity, and scholarly contribution of their manuscripts.

3.2 Promptness

Any reviewer who feels unqualified to evaluate a manuscript or knows that they cannot complete the review promptly must notify the editor and withdraw from the review process.

3.3 Confidentiality

Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Reviewers must not show, distribute, or discuss them with others unless authorized by the editor.

3.4 Standards of Objectivity

Reviews must be conducted objectively and professionally. Personal criticism of an author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their assessments clearly and support their comments with relevant arguments and evidence.

3.5 Acknowledgment of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has previously been reported should be accompanied by the appropriate citation. Reviewers must also inform the editor of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and other published work of which they are aware.

3.6 Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Before accepting an invitation to review, reviewers must consider whether they have any conflict of interest. If a conflict exists, they must decline the invitation. Conflicts may include recent collaboration or co-authorship with an author within the previous three years, employment at the same institution, a close personal relationship or rivalry, a financial interest in the research, or direct involvement in the study.

If a conflict of interest becomes apparent during the review process, the reviewer must inform the editor immediately. Editors should check for potential conflicts before assigning manuscripts to reviewers.

Confidential information and ideas obtained through peer review must not be used for personal advantage. In a double-blind review process, reviewers must not attempt to identify the authors of the manuscript.

4.1 Reporting Standards

Authors of original research must present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Research data must be represented accurately. Manuscripts should contain sufficient detail and references to allow other researchers to understand and, where appropriate, replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

4.2 Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that their work is original. When using the words, ideas, data, or findings of others, authors must provide appropriate citations and quotations. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable.

4.3 Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

Authors must not publish manuscripts describing substantially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

4.4 Acknowledgment of Sources

Authors must properly acknowledge the work of others. Publications that have influenced the reported research or helped determine its nature must be cited appropriately.

4.5 Authorship of the Paper

Authorship must be limited to individuals who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the research. All individuals who have made substantial contributions must be listed as co-authors. Individuals who have contributed to specific aspects of the research may be acknowledged as contributors.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all appropriate co-authors, and no inappropriate co-authors, are included. The corresponding author must also ensure that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final manuscript and agreed to its submission for publication.

4.6 Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Every manuscript submitted to Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah must include a Conflict of Interest Statement that discloses any potential conflicts or explicitly states that the authors declare no conflicts of interest.

Conflicts that must be disclosed include financial interests, such as funding, employment, consultancy, honoraria, or ownership; institutional or personal relationships that could influence the research; and relationships with the journal's editors or reviewers. Authors who are members of the editorial team must disclose their editorial affiliation in the statement.

All sources of research funding must be identified in a separate Funding Statement, including grant numbers where available. The conflict of interest and funding statements will be published with the article.

4.7 Fundamental Errors in Published Works

If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, the author must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate in correcting the article or retracting it when necessary.

Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah provides open access to its published articles and does not charge authors any publication fees. The publication fee is 0 USD throughout the entire publication process.

This no-fee policy covers every stage of publication, including:

• Manuscript review process;
• Editing;
• Layout and formatting;
• Article publication; and
• DOI registration.

Authors are fully responsible for substantive revisions, language refinement, and final editing necessary to ensure that their manuscripts comply with the journal's template and house style.

Authors are expected to ensure that:

• Manuscripts meet the required academic, linguistic, and technical standards before submission and throughout the revision process.
• Revisions address the comments and recommendations of the editor and reviewers within the specified timeline.
• The final manuscript follows the journal's prescribed template, formatting requirements, and editorial style.

Policy Statement

Authorship carries both credit and responsibility. Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah follows the authorship principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the journal's Publication Ethics policy. These criteria apply to every manuscript submitted to the journal.

A person may be recognised as an author only if they meet all four criteria listed below.

• Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah welcomes collaboration among authors from different institutions, countries, and disciplines, including interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.
• Manuscripts are evaluated on their scholarly merit, not on the number of authors or their nationality.
• Manuscripts must comply with the journal's research requirements. Where a study uses interviews, field observations, or field photographs, authors must accurately represent their role in collecting or documenting the data.

All authors must provide accurate and complete identity and affiliation information.

• Provide full names without abbreviations or initials, academic titles, or organisational positions.
• Write the institution's official name consistently with recognised research databases and reputable scholarly publications, including the city and country.
• Each author must provide their institutional affiliation, email address, and ORCID iD, where available or required by the journal.
• The corresponding author must provide their full name, institutional affiliation, email address, and telephone number.

The order of authors should reflect the extent of each author's contribution to the research and manuscript. The first author is generally the person who made the greatest contribution. All authors must discuss and agree on the author order in writing before the manuscript is submitted.

Individuals or organisations that contributed to the research but do not meet all four authorship criteria should be acknowledged in the Acknowledgements section. This section may recognise institutions, individuals, research assistants, or funding bodies that provided support but do not qualify for authorship.

Suspected authorship misconduct will be handled in accordance with the journal's research misconduct procedures and publication ethics policy.

Any addition, removal, or change in the order of authors after submission requires a formal written request and the written consent of all authors, including any author whose name is to be removed. The Editor-in-Chief will review the request and make the final decision. The journal may request further explanation or supporting documentation before approving a change.

Every published article must include a statement describing the contribution of each author. Authors should use the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) to identify their respective roles in the research and preparation of the manuscript.

Editors and members of the editorial board may submit manuscripts to Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah, provided that the manuscript is processed through the same editorial and peer-review procedures as other submissions. The editor or editorial board member who is an author must not participate in handling or deciding on their own manuscript. Reviewers must be independent of the manuscript and must not review submissions where they have a conflict of interest.

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools cannot be listed as authors because they cannot take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of scholarly work. Authors remain responsible for all content submitted to the journal.

Any use of AI tools in preparing a manuscript must be disclosed in accordance with the journal's applicable AI policy.

Authors should also consult the following policies and guidelines of Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah:

Post-Publication Discussion Policy

Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah

Policy Statement

Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah welcomes responsible scholarly discussion of the articles it publishes. Published research remains open to legitimate scrutiny. Criticism should be supported by evidence, assessed fairly, and made with respect for professional standards and the confidentiality of research participants. This policy follows the journal's Publication Ethics policy and relevant COPE guidance.

1. Who May Take Part

Readers, researchers, authors, institutions, and other relevant parties may submit comments. Contributors must provide their full name, institutional affiliation, and a valid email address. Anonymous comments are not accepted.

2. Scope

3. How to Submit

Submit a written comment by email to the Editorial Office using the subject line:

Editorial Office

[email protected]

Each submission must include:

• The contributor's name, affiliation, and contact details.
• The article title and DOI or permanent URL.
• A concise explanation of the issue, supported by references or evidence for factual claims.
• A statement of any competing interests.

Comments should not exceed 1,000 words. The OJS submission system and social media are not official channels for post-publication comments under this policy.

4. Editorial Assessment and Moderation

The journal assesses submitted comments through the following stages:

A comment may be declined if it contains defamation, discrimination, personal attacks, unsupported accusations, or confidential information. Submission does not guarantee publication. The journal retains editorial discretion over the suitability and form of published comments.

5. Authors' Response

Authors are expected to respond professionally, explain their methods and findings, acknowledge identifiable errors, and answer legitimate scholarly questions.

6. Publication of Comments

Accepted comments, together with any author response, are published openly as a Letter to the Editor. They are linked to the original article and receive their own citation details. The original article remains in place and is not changed unless a correction or retraction is decided.

7. Ethical Protection and Confidentiality

Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah prioritizes the rights and safety of research participants, including informants, minority and vulnerable groups, and religious communities. Submissions must not disclose:

• Personal information that identifies participants without their consent.
• Confidential interview transcripts, recordings, or field records.
• Private editorial correspondence or unpublished data without permission.
• Information that could cause credible harm or retaliation.

Unpublished correspondence is kept confidential until the editors reach a decision.

8. Outcomes Affecting the Article

Discussion may reveal problems that must be handled under the journal's Correction and Retraction Policy.

Notices are publicly available and linked to the original article. DOI records and metadata are updated where applicable. Retracted articles remain online and are clearly marked as retracted.

9. Editorial Independence and Records

Editorial decisions are based on scholarly grounds. The contributor's or author's institution, nationality, seniority, or commercial interests do not determine the outcome. The journal maintains records of every comment, editorial decision, and the reasons supporting that decision.

Correction, Retraction, and Withdrawal Policy

Keeping an accurate and reliable scholarly record.

Jurnal Ekonomi Syariah is committed to maintaining an accurate and reliable scholarly record. This policy explains how the journal handles manuscript withdrawal, corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions. It follows the COPE Retraction Guidelines and the journal's publication ethics policies. The purpose of these actions is to protect readers and the integrity of the scholarly record, not to punish authors. The action taken depends on the seriousness of the problem and its effect on the reliability of the article.

Policy Overview

1. Policy Statement

The journal handles withdrawal, correction, expressions of concern, and retraction in accordance with publication ethics principles and applicable editorial policies. Each case is assessed individually, considering the available evidence, the seriousness of the issue, and its impact on the scholarly record.

2. Manuscript Withdrawal

Withdrawal ends editorial processing of a manuscript that has not been published as an official article.

• Authors may request withdrawal by writing to the Editorial Office. The request must state the manuscript title and submission ID, the reason, and confirmation that all co-authors agree.
• The editors may ask for clarification and may check authorship, originality, or ethical concerns before confirming withdrawal.
• The journal may also withdraw a manuscript if serious ethical problems are identified during review.
• Authors may not submit the same manuscript to another journal while it is under review by this journal.
• Once an article is published, including online ahead of issue, correction or retraction applies instead of withdrawal.

3. Article Correction

A correction is used when a published article contains an error that can be fixed without making its main findings or conclusions unreliable.

The Editor-in-Chief makes the decision and may consult independent experts. The correction notice must state what was changed, be linked to the original article, and include a publication date.

4. Expression of Concern

An expression of concern is issued when credible and serious questions arise about an article, but the available evidence is not yet sufficient to decide between correction and retraction. Examples include doubts about data authenticity, an ongoing institutional investigation, or conflicting evidence. The notice states the concern in neutral terms and remains linked to the article. It is later replaced or updated by a correction, a retraction, or a statement that the concern has been resolved.

5. Article Retraction

An article may be retracted when reliable evidence shows that:

• The findings are unreliable because of misconduct, such as fabrication or falsification, or an honest but serious error.
• The same work was published elsewhere without disclosure, permission, or justification (redundant publication).
• The article contains plagiarism, including unacknowledged reuse of one's own published work.
• The research violates ethical requirements, such as missing consent or ethical clearance.
• Other serious breaches of publication ethics occur, such as unauthorized authorship, undisclosed conflicts of interest, or manipulated peer review.

Scholarly disagreement with an article's conclusions alone is not a reason for retraction. Such disagreement is handled through the Post-Publication Discussion policy.

6. Reporting and Handling of Concerns

Authors, reviewers, readers, institutions, and research participants may report a concern to the Editorial Office, providing article details and supporting evidence where possible. The journal handles each case through the following six steps.

Reports are handled confidentially and fairly. The journal does not ignore or conceal reports, or delay clarification or action without good reason.

7. Notices and Preservation of the Record

• Every correction, expression of concern, and retraction is published as an open notice that is easy to identify, free to read, and linked to the original article.
• A notice states the article title, authors, DOI, type of action, reasons, decision-maker, and date.
• The journal updates the article page, DOI record (Crossref), and article metadata to point to the notice, where applicable.
• A retracted article is not deleted. It remains on the journal website and in its archive. It is clearly marked as retracted on the article page, in the full-text file, and in the metadata.

8. Exceptional Removal

In rare cases, the journal may remove article content from public access when continued access creates a serious legal, privacy, confidentiality, or safety risk, such as when research participants or vulnerable people can be identified without proper consent. The journal first considers redaction or correction. If content is removed, the bibliographic record and a public notice explaining the removal are retained as far as the law allows.

9. Self-Reported Errors and Cooperation

Authors who discover an error in their published article are asked to inform the Editorial Office promptly. Errors reported and corrected promptly by authors are handled as corrections when appropriate. Authors are expected to cooperate with investigations and respond to the journal's requests without unnecessary delay.
