In research involving human subjects, the following ethical guidelines should be observed. All research should be conducted in accordance with the ethical principles applicable to educational research. Manuscripts describing research that poses a risk of harm to human subjects should include:

• A statement that the experiments were conducted with the consent and understanding of the human subjects.
• A statement that the responsible Ethics Committee has approved the research.

Research involving animals is not accepted in this journal, as the focus of the journal is on educational research.

Ensure that all research reported in the submitted paper has been conducted in an ethical and responsible manner and complies with all relevant ethical codes in educational research. All original research papers involving humans in an educational context must include a written statement under the Ethics Approval section that includes the following:

1. The name of the ethics committee or institutional review board involved.
2. Ethics approval number or ID.
3. A statement that the human participants have given informed consent before participating in the research.

If the research involves the use of human subjects, authors should ensure that the research described has been conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of educational research. The manuscript should:

• Conform to ethical guidelines for experiments in educational contexts.
• Aim to involve a representative human population (gender, age, and ethnicity).
• Include a statement that informed consent has been obtained for experiments with human subjects.

The right to privacy of human subjects should always be observed.

When research involves human subjects, authors must ensure that the study is conducted according to the principles outlined in The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki), which governs experiments involving humans. Manuscripts should also conform to the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals and strive for inclusivity by representing diverse human populations in terms of sex, age, and ethnicity. It is important to use the terms "sex" and "gender" correctly throughout the manuscript.

Authors must explicitly state in their manuscript that informed consent was obtained from participants involved in any experimentation. In addition, it is essential to ensure the privacy rights of all human subjects are upheld at all times.

For research involving animals, all experiments must comply with the ARRIVE guidelines and be carried out in accordance with relevant legislation, such as:

• The U.K. Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986.
• The EU Directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes.
• The National Research Council's Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

Authors must clearly indicate compliance with these guidelines in their manuscript. Additionally, the sex of the animals involved must be reported, and any effect or correlation of sex on the study’s results should be appropriately addressed.

Patient privacy must be respected and should not be compromised without obtaining informed consent. Identifiable information such as names, initials, or hospital numbers should not be included in written descriptions, photographs, or pedigrees unless absolutely necessary for scientific purposes and only if the patient (or their parent or guardian) provides written informed consent for publication. To achieve this, any identifiable patient must be shown the manuscript intended for publication. Authors must also inform patients that identifiable material could be accessible both online and in print after the article is published.

Written informed consent should be documented and archived, either by the journal, the authors, or both, in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations. Any identifying details that are not essential should be removed from the manuscript to ensure patient privacy. If there is any doubt about whether a patient's anonymity can be maintained, informed consent must be obtained. For instance, simply masking the eye region in patient photographs is generally insufficient for ensuring anonymity. If identifying features are modified, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors must provide assurance, and editors must confirm, that such modifications do not affect the scientific validity of the research.

When informed consent has been properly obtained, this must be explicitly stated within the published article, ensuring full transparency regarding patient participation and privacy considerations.

Research should be presented in a manner that facilitates verification and reproducibility. To support this, authors are encouraged to provide a thorough and comprehensive description of their research rationale, protocol, methodology, and analysis. This level of detail ensures that others can understand, replicate, or build upon the research, thereby enhancing the integrity and impact of the work.

If authors wish to include any third-party material in their article, they must obtain the necessary permissions. Such materials may include, but are not limited to, text, illustrations, photographs, tables, data, audio, video, film stills, screenshots, or musical notation. In some cases, the use of short extracts of text or other types of material may be allowed without formal permission, provided that it is for purposes such as criticism or review and used in a limited capacity. However, if the material is not covered by these informal allowances, authors must obtain written permission from the copyright holder before submitting their work.

 Please note that this policy specifically applies to the writing process and not to the use  of AI tools for analyzing data or drawing insights as part of the research itself.

 Authors who choose to use AI or AI-assisted technologies in the writing process should only do so to enhance language clarity and readability. AI tools should not replace essential tasks like generating scientific insights, drawing conclusions, or making recommendations. All use of such technologies should be under human oversight, with the content subjected to thorough review and editing to ensure accuracy. While AI can generate authoritative-sounding content, it may still be incorrect, incomplete, or biased, meaning that the author must take full responsibility for ensuring the quality of the content.

 Authors must transparently disclose the use of AI or AI-assisted technologies in their manuscripts. A statement acknowledging such use will be included in the final published work. This level of transparency helps build trust among authors, readers, reviewers, editors, and contributors, while also ensuring compliance with the terms of use for the relevant tools.

 It is important for authors to avoid attributing authorship to AI or listing AI tools as co-authors. Authorship carries responsibilities that only humans can fulfill, including addressing inquiries about the accuracy or integrity of the work, approving the final version of the manuscript, and consenting to its submission. Authors are also responsible for ensuring the originality of the work and that all authorship criteria are met, as well as confirming that the work does not infringe upon third-party rights.

Manuscript Peer Review Process

The Journal of journal Informasi applies a double-blind peer review process. Manuscripts may be rejected without peer review by the Editor-in-Chief if they do not meet the submission guidelines or if they are outside the scope of the journal. The manuscript editor will check the scientific level of the manuscript and decide whether to invite reviewers. If the copy editor decides that the scientific quality of the manuscript is not good enough, he/she will give a "rejected" decision and return the manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief. If the copy editor decides that the manuscript is of high scientific quality, he/she will invite one or more reviewers.

The reviewers may request minor or major revisions, accept without revision, or reject the manuscript. Based on the report of the reviewers, the copy editor will request minor or major revisions, accept without revision, or reject the manuscript. If the copy editor decides that revisions are necessary, the manuscript is returned to the author to make revisions. Once the revisions are complete, the manuscript is sent back to the copy editor for review, and then sent to the Editor-in-Chief for a final decision.

General Manuscript Formatting
