B. DUTIES OF EDITORS

  1. The Editor-in-Chief of Al-Istinbath: Jurnal Ilmu Hukum dan Hukum Keluarga Islam is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal will be published.
  2. The Editor-in-Chief may be guided by the journal's editorial board policies and is subject to legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
  3. The Editor-in-Chief may consult with other editors or reviewers when making these decisions

C. Manuscript Review

  1. The Editor-in-Chief must ensure that every manuscript is initially evaluated by an editor or co-editor, who may use appropriate software to check the originality of the manuscript's content; once it passes this check, the manuscript is forwarded to two reviewers for a blind peer review, with each providing a recommendation to publish the manuscript in its current form, modify it, or reject it. 2. The time required for each review stage is at least two weeks after the reviewer confirms their availability (review stages vary by article, depending on the article's quality). If the article is of exceptionally high or low quality, a decision may be reached sooner.

D. Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in the research of anyone who has access to the manuscript without the author's written consent.

E. Fairness

Manuscripts will be evaluated solely on their intellectual merit, without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

F. Confidentiality

The Editor-in-Chief/editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information regarding a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher.

G. DUTIES OF REVIEWERS

  1. Timeliness  If a reviewer feels unable to complete the manuscript review within the allotted time, they must communicate this to the editor so the manuscript can be sent to another reviewer.
  1. Confidentiality Information regarding manuscripts submitted by authors must be kept confidential and treated as privileged information.
  1. Standards of Objectivity Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is not permitted. Reviewers should clearly express their views and provide supporting arguments.
  1. Acknowledgement of Sources Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the author. Any statement that has been previously reported elsewhere should be accompanied by a relevant citation. Reviewers must also notify the Editor-in-Chief of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
  1. Conflict of Interest Reviewers must not review manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the paper.

H. AUTHORS' OBLIGATIONS

  1. Reporting Standards Authors of original research reports must present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data must be presented accurately in the paper. The paper must contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behavior.
  1. Data Access and Retention Authors may be asked to provide raw data related to the paper for editorial review and must be prepared to provide public access to such data, if feasible; in any case, they must be prepared to retain the data for a reasonable period after publication.
  1. Originality and PlagiarismAuthors must ensure that their work is entirely original. Plagiarism is considered a serious violation of scientific ethics by the entire scientific community. Instances of plagiarism in manuscripts or published articles—whether detected or reported—will be treated seriously. We consistently seek and welcome input from the Editorial Board and the Board of Reviewers regarding measures to prevent all forms of publication ethics violations.
