Publication Ethics

Introduction
Jurnal Wasian upholds the greatest standards of academic honesty by having strict rules about ethics and a strict peer-review process. Our editing team takes very seriously any violations of professional ethics, like plagiarising, changing data, or giving credit to the wrong author.

The Principles 
The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) has a code of behaviour that we follow. When we think someone has done something wrong, we use the COPE flowcharts to figure it out. Manuscripts must be original and have not been published or are being considered for publication elsewhere.

Subjects of Human Research
The Declaration of Helsinki must be followed for any study that uses people as subjects. Subjects must be told about the study methods and give clear consent. Ethics review boards must give their approval, and privacy and identity must be protected. People who are more likely to be hurt need extra care, and research involving children needs to follow the right consent processes.

Sign up for a clinical trial
Clinical trials need to be registered with reputable organisations, and the study should include details about how the trials were registered. For places to sign up, see the WHO Clinical Trials Registry Platform.

Animals Used in Research
Animal studies must put the animals' health and safety first, doing as little harm as possible. Approval from the right authorities is needed, and records must be kept on processes that affect animal welfare. Studies that use higher animals need special permission, and any exceptions must be made known.

How to Do Plant Research
As long as the Convention on Biological Diversity is followed, research on plants should follow the rules set by groups that work to protect plants. It is important to protect rare plants and keep thorough records of plant collections.

Cell Culture Study
When cell cultures are used in research, they need to give credit to the source and give full descriptions of the cultures, especially if they are not open to the public.

Written by
As an author, you helped come up with the idea for the study, collect data, analyse it, write, edit, and approve the final version of the paper. Any changes to the list of authors must be agreed upon by all authors and sent to the magazine.

Statement on Open Access
According to the BOAI, all manuscripts in Jurnal Wasian follow open access principles. This means that anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, and use the material without any legal, financial, or technical barriers.
