Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

Publication of an article in the peer-reviewed Redox Journal is an important building block in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. Therefore, it is important to agree on the expected standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, bestary partners, publishers, and the public.

Universitas PGRI Palembang as the publisher of the Redox Journal takes its trusteeship over all stages of publishing very seriously and we recognize our ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprints, or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, Universitas PGRI Palembang and the Editorial Board will assist in communication with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful and necessary.

Publication decisions

The editors of Redox journal are responsible for deciding which articles to publish. The validity of the work concerned and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive the decision. The editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. Editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making these decisions.

Fair play

The editors at all times evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff should not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosures and conflicts of interest

Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the authors.

 

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also assist authors in improving manuscripts.

Timeliness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that a timely review is not possible, should inform the editor and excuse himself/herself from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscript accepted for review should be treated as a confidential document. It should not be shown or discussed with others unless authorized by the editor.

Objectivity Standards

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of authors is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. Any assertion that an observation, derivation or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also bring to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and other published manuscripts of which they are personally aware.

Disclosures and Conflicts of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts that have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with authors, companies, or institutions associated with the manuscript.
