Editorial Policies

Jurnal Keolahragaan adheres to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and abides by their standards for addressing potential misconduct. Instances of plagiarism, data fabrication, manipulation of images, and improper authorship attribution are not acceptable in Jurnal Keolahragaan. If any misconduct is discovered, the following measures may be implemented: retraction of the published work, issuance of a correction or statement of concern, rejection of future submissions, and reporting of the misconduct to the author's local institution, superior, and/or ethics committee.

In adhering to ethical publication practices, the editors, and reviewers of Jurnal Keolahragaan are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may arise during the editorial and review process. They must also promptly address any ethical concerns regarding the manuscript being handled or reviewed. It is expected that the editors and reviewers treat all manuscripts with confidentiality. The editors make every effort to ensure that Jurnal Keolahragaan does not contain any inaccurate or misleading data, opinions, or statements. The accuracy and opinions presented in the articles are the responsibility of the respective contributors.

When publishing in Jurnal Keolahragaan, authors are required to adhere to ethical standards.

The journal does not accept adverts from third parties.

Affiliations

Authors must list all relevant affiliations to attribute where the research was approved and/or supported and/or conducted. For non-research articles, authors must list their current institutional affiliation. In cases where an author has moved to a different institution before the article has been published, they should list the affiliation where the work was conducted, and the current affiliation and contact details should be listed in the acknowledgment section. Change of affiliation alone is not a valid reason to remove an author from a publication if he or she meets the authorship criteria.

Acknowledgment

Individuals who participated in the development of a manuscript but do not qualify as an author should be acknowledged. Organizations that provided support in terms of funding and/or other resources should also be acknowledged.

Authorship

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to each of the three components mentioned below:

Concept and design of study or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data;
Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and
Final approval of the version to be published.

Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not justify authorship. General supervision of the research group is not sufficient for authorship. Each contributor should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content of the manuscript. The order of naming the contributors should be based on the relative contribution of the contributor towards the study and writing the manuscript. Once submitted the order cannot be changed without the written consent of all the contributors. The journal prescribes a maximum number of authors for manuscripts depending upon the type of manuscript, its scope, and the number of institutions involved (vide infra). The authors should provide a justification if the number of authors exceeds these limits.

Citations

Research and non-research articles must cite relevant, timely, and verified literature (peer-reviewed, where appropriate) to support any claims made in the article.

Authors must avoid excessive and inappropriate self-citation or pre-arrangements among author groups to inappropriately cite each other’s work, as this can be considered a form of misconduct called citation manipulation. Read the COPE guidance on citation manipulation.

If you’re the author of a non-research article (e.g. a Review or Opinion) you should ensure the references you cite are relevant and provide a fair and balanced overview of the current state of research or scholarly work on the topic. Your references should not be unfairly biased toward a particular research group, organization, or journal.

If you are unsure about whether to cite a source, you should contact the journal editorial office for advice.

Conflicts of Interest/ Competing Interests

All authors of articles must disclose any and all conflicts of interest they may have with the publication of the manuscript or an institution or poduct that is mentioned in the manuscript and/or is important to the outcome of the study presented. Authors should also disclose conflicts of interest with products that compete with those mentioned in their manuscript.

If there are no competing interests to declare, the following statement will be added to the article “The authors declare that they have no competing interests".

Sponsorship of clinical trials

Authors employed by pharmaceutical companies or other organizations which sponsor clinical trials must declare this as a competing interest. Authors should adhere to the Good Publication Practice guidelines for pharmaceutical companies (GPP3), which guides to ensure responsible and ethical standards are maintained.

Corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions

Corrections may be made to a published article with the authorization of the editor of the journal. Editors will decide the magnitude of the corrections. Minor corrections are made directly to the original article. However, in cases of major corrections, the original article will remain unchanged, while the corrected version will also be published. Both the original and corrected version will be linked to each other. A statement indicating the reason for the major change to the article will also be published. When necessary, the retraction of articles will be done according to to COPE retraction guidelines.

Consent for Publication

For all manuscripts that include details or images relating to an individual person, written informed consent for the publication of these details must be obtained from that person (or their parent or legal guardian in the case of children under 18). The consent must be for publication of their details under the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 (such that they will be freely available on the internet). If the person has died, consent for publication must be obtained from their next of kin. The manuscript must include a statement that written informed consent for publication was obtained.

Authors can use the consent form from their own institution or region if appropriate. The consent form must state that the details/images will be freely available on the internet and may be seen by the general public. The consent form must be made available to the Editor if requested and will be treated confidentially.

Confidentiality

A submitted manuscript is a confidential material. Academic Journals will not disclose submitted manuscripts to anyone except individuals who partake in the processing and preparation of the manuscript for publication (if accepted). These individuals include editorial staff, corresponding authors, potential reviewers, actual reviewers, and editors. However, in suspected cases of misconduct, a manuscript may be revealed to members of the Academic Journals’ ethics committees and institutions/organizations that may require it for the resolution of the misconduct. Academic Journals shall follow the appropriate COPE flowcharts wherever necessary.

Data Sharing Policy

Our journal's data-sharing policy aims to foster and facilitate research data sharing among researchers. We encourage and support researchers to share their data promptly and appropriately, enhancing our submission processes to streamline this procedure. We strive to standardize our authored data guidelines to clarify data storage and sharing options, thus promoting optimal access and reuse. We advocate for proper data citation practices to ensure due credit for data-sharing efforts. Collaborating closely with the scientific community, we seek to establish robust data review practices to validate, document, and facilitate the reuse of published research data. Furthermore, we advocate publishing research data as separate, peer-reviewed outputs to enhance re usability and provide additional recognition for authors.

Encourage and support researchers to share research data where appropriate and at the earliest opportunity, for example, by enhancing our submission processes to make this easier
Standardize and align our author data guidelines where this is possible to make it easier for authors to understand how and where they can store and share their data, enabling optimal access and reuse
Make it easier for researchers to comply with data management requirements, for example, by supporting data availability statements to enhance transparency
Develop tools and services to support researchers to discover, use and reuse data to further their research, for example, by encouraging and enabling two-way linking of relevant datasets and publications using permanent standard identifiers
Ensure researchers can gain credit — and credit others — for sharing research data, by encouraging and supporting proper data citation practices
Work closely with the scientific community to establish data review practices to ensure that published research data is valid, properly documented and can be re-used
Support the publication of research data as a separate, peer-reviewed output, to support reusability and provide additional ways for authors to gain credit for their work
Support researchers, research institutions and funders by providing the structure, workflows and technology needed to manage data effectively and make researcher and institutional workflows more efficient. For example:
Providing Mendeley Data as a storage and preservation option for research data
Integrating HiveBench into the research workflow
Enabling the integration of these tools with other open standards and platforms
Continue to participate in industry initiatives and standards and policy bodies to support more effective discovery, use and reuse of research data, for example, through our co-chairmanship of, and participation in, Research Data Alliance working groups, our engagement with the Scholix initiative, our membership of WDS and Codata, and through our partnerships with DANS, Force11 and others.
