JSHEE is a peer-reviewed journal, published twice a year (in June and December) by Pusat Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat PPNS. The journal will be available online as an open access source as well as in print. This statement clarifies the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing articles in this journal, including the authors, editor-in-chief, editorial board, reviewers, and publishers. This statement is based on the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication
Publishing an article in JSHEE is an important cornerstone in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree on expected standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing, including authors, editors, reviewers, publishers, and the public. As a publisher, JSHEE takes the duty of representing all stages of publishing seriously and recognizes ethical and other responsibilities. JSHEE is committed to ensuring that reprints, or other commercial revenues do not impact or influence editorial decisions.

Publication Decisions
The JSHEE Editor is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. Editors may be guided by the policies of the JSHEE editorial board and limited by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making publication decisions.

Confidentiality
The editors 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.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is where a person perceives another person's ideas, words or forms of creative expression as his own, and this is a clear violation of scientific ethics. Plagiarism can also involve violations of copyright laws, which are punishable by legal action. Plagiarism can be in the form of the following:

  1. Copying verbatim, or nearly word for word, or deliberately paraphrasing part of another author's work without clearly indicating the source or marking the fragment copied;
  2. Copying pictures or tables from other people's papers without properly citing the source and/or without permission from the original author or copyright holder.

All article submissions will be thoroughly checked for plagiarism. Any paper showing clear signsof plagiarism will be automatically rejected.
