Dinamika Penelitian: Media Komunikasi Penelitian Sosial Keagamaan is a peer-reviewed and open-access journal published by the Institute for Research and Community Service, Universitas Islam Negeri Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung, Indonesia.
The journal is committed to maintaining integrity, transparency, fairness, confidentiality, and accountability throughout the publication process. This statement establishes the ethical responsibilities of editors, reviewers, authors, and the publisher and is guided by the COPE Core Practices.
This policy should be read together with the journal’s Peer Review Process, Plagiarism Screening, Generative AI Policy, Retraction, Withdrawal, and Correction Policies, and Appeals and Complaints Policy.
The Editor-in-Chief and assigned editors are responsible for determining which manuscripts should be published. Editorial decisions are based on the manuscript’s originality, methodological soundness, scholarly contribution, ethical compliance, clarity, and relevance to the journal’s Focus and Scope.
Editors may consult reviewers, members of the editorial board, or other qualified experts when making decisions. Reviewer recommendations inform editorial decisions but do not automatically determine whether a manuscript is accepted or rejected.
Editorial decisions must remain independent of commercial, institutional, political, or personal influence. Manuscripts are evaluated solely on their academic merit without discrimination based on the authors’ nationality, ethnicity, gender, religious belief, institutional affiliation, citizenship, seniority, disability, or political position.
Editors must not favour manuscripts submitted by colleagues, institutional partners, editorial board members, or individuals with whom they have personal or professional relationships.
Editors and editorial staff must treat submitted manuscripts, reviewer reports, correspondence, data, and other unpublished information as confidential. Such materials must not be disclosed to individuals who are not directly involved in the editorial process.
Unpublished information contained in a manuscript must not be used in an editor’s research, teaching, publication, or professional activities without the author’s written permission.
Editors must disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest. An editor must withdraw from handling a manuscript when a personal, financial, professional, competitive, collaborative, or institutional relationship could affect impartial judgement.
In such cases, the manuscript will be assigned to another editor who has no relevant conflict of interest.
Editors are responsible for protecting the integrity of the published record. When credible concerns arise regarding plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, authorship disputes, citation manipulation, duplicate publication, unethical research, or peer-review manipulation, the editor must investigate the matter fairly and confidentially.
Where necessary, the journal may publish a correction, clarification, expression of concern, or retraction in accordance with its Retraction, Withdrawal, and Correction Policies.
Ethical concerns will be considered even when they are reported after an article has been published.
Reviewers assist editors in evaluating the originality, validity, relevance, methodological quality, and scholarly contribution of submitted manuscripts. Constructive reviewer feedback should also help authors improve the clarity and quality of their work.
All reviews must follow the journal’s Peer Review Process and reviewer assessment criteria.
A reviewer who cannot complete the review within the specified period should promptly inform the editor. Reviewers should decline an invitation when the manuscript falls outside their expertise or when they cannot provide a careful and timely assessment.
Manuscripts received for review are confidential documents. Reviewers must not share, discuss, copy, upload, distribute, or use manuscript content without permission from the editor.
Reviewers must not upload manuscripts or unpublished data to publicly accessible generative AI platforms or other external systems that may retain, reuse, or disclose confidential information.
Reviews must be objective, evidence-based, and constructive. Comments should focus on the manuscript’s academic content and should clearly explain the reasons for each recommendation.
Personal criticism, hostile language, discriminatory remarks, unsupported accusations, or requests intended to promote a reviewer’s work are unacceptable.
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been appropriately acknowledged. They should also inform the editor of substantial similarities between the submitted manuscript and other published or unpublished work of which they are aware.
Reviewers must not require authors to cite particular publications unless those references are genuinely relevant and necessary.
Reviewers must decline assignments when they have conflicts of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, financial, personal, professional, or institutional relationships with the authors or organisations connected to the manuscript.
Information obtained through peer review must not be used for personal benefit or to disadvantage other researchers.
Authors must present an accurate, honest, and sufficiently detailed account of the research undertaken. Research questions, methods, data, analysis, findings, limitations, and conclusions must be reported transparently.
Fabricated, falsified, manipulated, selectively omitted, or knowingly inaccurate information constitutes unethical conduct and is unacceptable.
Authors should retain relevant research data and supporting documentation and be prepared to provide them to the editor when necessary for verification, subject to ethical, legal, confidentiality, and participant-protection requirements.
Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original. Ideas, words, data, instruments, images, tables, and other materials originating from another source must be properly cited or quoted.
Plagiarism, self-plagiarism, inappropriate paraphrasing, unauthorised translation, and the reproduction of previously published material without acknowledgement are prohibited.
All submitted manuscripts are examined according to the journal’s Plagiarism Screening Policy. A similarity score is treated as a screening indicator, while the location, source, extent, and nature of the matched text are evaluated editorially.
Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. Manuscripts describing substantially the same research must not be published in multiple journals without appropriate justification, disclosure, permission, and cross-referencing.
Any previous dissemination of the manuscript, including conference papers, institutional repositories, preprints, reports, theses, or translated versions, must be disclosed to the editor during submission.
Authorship must be limited to individuals who have made substantial scholarly contributions to the conception, design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, or preparation of the manuscript.
All listed authors must:
Individuals who provide administrative, technical, language, financial, or general assistance but do not meet the authorship criteria should be acknowledged rather than listed as authors.
Guest authorship, honorary authorship, purchased authorship, concealed authorship, and the removal of legitimate contributors are prohibited. Any authorship change after submission must be explained and approved in writing by all authors and the editor.
Research involving human participants must comply with applicable institutional, national, and international ethical standards. Authors must clearly report ethical approval or explain why formal approval was not required.
Research involving interviews, observations, surveys, personal narratives, religious communities, families, children, minority groups, disaster-affected communities, or other potentially vulnerable participants must demonstrate appropriate informed consent, voluntary participation, confidentiality, privacy protection, and risk management.
Identifying information, photographs, recordings, quotations, or personal data must not be published without appropriate consent. Authors should take particular care when reporting research involving sensitive religious identities, community conflict, trauma, discrimination, political vulnerability, or unequal power relationships.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that data, images, tables, figures, maps, questionnaires, and other research materials are used lawfully and ethically.
Permission must be obtained for copyrighted materials that are not covered by fair use or an applicable open licence. Sources and licence information must be acknowledged clearly.
Authors must not alter images or data in ways that misrepresent the research findings.
Authors must disclose all financial and non-financial relationships that could influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, the research or its interpretation.
All sources of research funding must be stated, including grant names and numbers where applicable. Authors should also explain the role of the funder in the study design, data collection, analysis, manuscript preparation, or publication decision.
When no funding or conflict of interest exists, this should be stated explicitly.
Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors because they cannot assume responsibility for the accuracy, originality, ethics, or integrity of published work.
Authors remain fully responsible for all submitted content, including material developed or revised with technological assistance. The use of generative AI must follow the journal’s Generative AI Policy.
Undisclosed or inappropriate use of AI, including fabricated references, invented data, manipulated findings, or the submission of AI-generated content without scholarly verification, may be treated as publication misconduct.
When authors discover a significant error or inaccuracy in a submitted or published work, they must notify the editor promptly and cooperate in correcting or retracting the article where necessary.
Authors must respond honestly and promptly to requests for clarification, supporting data, authorship confirmation, ethical documentation, or copyright permission.
