Publication Ethics

The Patria Artha Journal of Community (PKM ) publication ethics statement refers to the COPE ( Committee on Publication Ethics ) standards. All parties involved (Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and Publishers) must agree to these standards of ethical behavior:

  • Editor: Fully responsible for the decision to accept manuscripts fairly, objectively, free from conflicts of interest, and maintaining the confidentiality of manuscript data.
  • Reviewers: Review manuscripts objectively, constructively, and in a timely manner, treating them as confidential documents. Reviewers are required to report to the editor any indication of ethical violations or material similarity to other articles.
  • Authors: Must ensure that submitted manuscripts are original, have not been published elsewhere, and do not contain fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism. Authors must provide proper citations to the work of others.
