Conflict of Interest

Conflict of Interest
Jumat Keagamaan journal is committed to maintaining editorial independence, review objectivity, and the integrity of scholarly publication. All authors, editors, reviewers, and other parties involved in the publication process are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the assessment, execution, reporting, or publication of an article.

Conflicts of interest may be financial or non-financial in nature, including employment relationships, funding, personal or familial ties, academic competition, institutional affiliations, connections to religious organizations, or direct involvement in the community service programs being reported.

Provisions for authors:

Authors must disclose any relevant conflicts of interest when submitting a manuscript.
Authors must state the source of funding and clarify the role of the funder—if any—in the planning, execution, evaluation, writing, or publication decisions.
If no conflicts of interest exist, authors must provide a statement confirming that there are no conflicts of interest to disclose.
Provisions for editors:

Editors must not handle a manuscript if they have a conflict of interest that could compromise the independence of their decision-making.
Manuscripts involving a potential editorial conflict of interest must be reassigned to another, independent editor.
Editorial decisions must be based on scientific quality, alignment with the journal’s scope, and adherence to publication ethics.
Provisions for reviewers:

Reviewers are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest before accepting or continuing the review process.
Reviewers must recuse themselves from the review process if a conflict of interest could potentially affect their objectivity.
Information contained in unpublished manuscripts must be kept confidential and must not be used for personal gain.
All disclosures of conflicts of interest will be managed by the editors in a proportionate manner. Such a disclosure does not automatically lead to the rejection of a manuscript; rather, it serves as a basis for determining the appropriate course of action to ensure the transparency and independence of the publication process.
