Publication Ethics

JURNAL PATANI: Pengembangan Teknologi Pertanian dan Informatika is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against publication malpractice. Authors who submit papers to Patani attest that their work is original and unpublished, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. In addition, authors confirm that their paper is their own; that it has not been copied or plagiarized, in whole or in part, from other works. They have disclosed actual or potential conflicts of interest with their work or partial benefits associated with it. 

The statement of the scientific code of ethics is a statement of the code of ethics of all parties involved in the process of scientific publication of journals, namely managers, editors, reviewers, and authors. The statement of the code of ethics of scientific publications is based on the Head Regulation of LIPI Number 5 of 2014 concerning the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publication, which in essence the Code of Ethics of Scientific Publication upholds three ethical values in publication, namely (i) Neutrality, which is free from conflict of management publication; (ii) Justice, which gives authorship rights to the recipient as a writer; and (iii) Honesty, which is free from duplication, fabrication, forgery, and plagiarism (DF2P) in publications.

Publication and authorship

Such authorship should be limited to persons who have contributed significantly to the conception, design, execution, data acquisition, data analysis, or interpretation of the manuscript. All other persons who have participated in certain important aspects of the research but do not qualify as authors, then they should be acknowledged. Authorship is the responsibility of the corresponding author; they should ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included in the manuscript. On behalf of all co-authors, the corresponding author should submit an Authors’ Statement, stating that all of them have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and have agreed to submit it for publication. Request to add or remove author(s) or to arrange the author names of the accepted manuscript before it is published, must be sent to Chief Editor.
