Publication Ethics

PUBLICATION GUIDELINES OF JURNAL GREEN HOUSE

Jurnal Green House (JGH) publishes original research articles and scientific reviews in the fields of Agricultural Sciences and Forestry (Agribusiness, Agrotechnology, Agricultural Industrial Technology, Food Technology, Forest Resource Conservation, Environmental Science). 

JGH serves as a bridge for disseminating the latest research findings by researchers and practitioners in the fields mentioned above. Articles published in JGH report recent research results that have not been published in any other journal. Therefore, standards agreed upon by all parties involved in JGH, including authors, editors, reviewers, the publisher, and the public, are required.

The Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) of Institut Pertanian Malang is the publisher of Jurnal Green House and is responsible for overseeing the entire publication process with due regard to publication ethics and responsibilities. LPPM IPM will also facilitate communication with other journals and/or publishers whenever useful and necessary.

Duties of Editors

  1. JGH editors decide which articles are published after they have passed the established stages. Editors are guided by the policies of the journal's Editorial Board and are constrained by applicable legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making these decisions.
  2. Editors select reviewers whose expertise matches the field of the manuscript to be reviewed.
  3. Editors ensure that the review process is fair, unbiased, and timely. Fairness means evaluating manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, religious belief, ethnicity, citizenship, or political views.
  4. The editorial process is transparent, with honest assessments.
  5. Editors keep all manuscript materials and all communication with reviewers confidential, unless the authors and reviewers agree otherwise.
  6. Editors do not use unpublished information from a manuscript for their own research without the knowledge and consent of the authors.
  7. Editors do not handle manuscripts written by themselves or their family members, or concerning products and services in which they have an interest.
  8. Editors safeguard the integrity of the publication record by reviewing and assessing reported or suspected research, publication, review, and editorial misconduct together with the publisher.
  9. Editors inform the publisher when alleged misconduct is proven, followed by corrections, retractions, or other relevant actions.

 

Duties of Reviewers

  1. Reviewers advise editors in making editorial decisions.
  2. Reviewers review manuscripts within their field of expertise and have the right to decline an editor's request to review a manuscript.
  3. Reviewers keep manuscripts confidential.
  4. Unpublished materials and information are not used for the reviewer's own research or other personal interests without the knowledge of the authors.
  5. Reviewers identify relevant work that has not been cited by the authors. Statements derived from previous research that support the article's claims must be cited. Reviewers should inform the editor of any substantial similarity between the manuscript and other manuscripts, or overlap with work already published in other journals.
  6. Reviewers are objective.
  7. Reviewers consult the editor before reviewing a manuscript if there is a potential conflict of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with the authors, companies, funders, or institutions connected to the manuscript.

Information obtained from manuscripts or grant applications must not be used without the explicit written permission of the authors involved.
  6. Authorship is limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the work may be acknowledged as contributors. The corresponding author must check the names listed in the article and ensure that all co-authors have read and approved the final article and agreed to its publication.
  7. If the research involves chemicals, procedures, or equipment with unusual hazards inherent in their use, the authors must clearly identify these in the article. If the research involves animal or human subjects, the authors must state that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and approved by the appropriate institutional committee. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
  8. All authors must disclose any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might influence the article. All sources of financial support for the research must be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patents, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed as early as possible.
