Mediasi Hubungan Internasional is fully committed to the highest publication ethics standards to ensure the integrity and credibility of every published article. This commitment aligns with the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which serve as a reference for all parties involved in the publication process: authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher. The journal unequivocally rejects all forms of scientific misconduct, including but not limited to plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, fraud, and duplicate publication. Every submitted manuscript will undergo a rigorous and transparent peer review process, designed to maintain objectivity and fairness in scientific evaluation.
For authors, Mediasi Hubungan Internasional emphasizes the importance of originality, giving proper credit to all sources used through correct citation, and disclosing any potential conflicts of interest that may arise. Authors are fully responsible for ensuring that the data presented are accurate and verifiable, and that all individuals who made significant contributions have been acknowledged as authors or contributors. For editors, the principles of confidentiality and impartiality are absolute. They must make editorial decisions based on the scientific validity and relevance of the manuscript, free from personal, commercial, or political influence. Editors are also responsible for ensuring that the peer review process is conducted fairly, in a timely manner, and while maintaining reviewer anonymity.
Meanwhile, reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, and timely evaluations, and to maintain the confidentiality of the manuscripts they review. They are obliged to identify potential plagiarism or duplicate publication, and report any relevant conflicts of interest. Mediasi Hubungan Internasional also provides clear procedures for addressing alleged ethical violations, which involve thorough investigation and, if necessary, retraction of publications. By implementing this strict code of ethics, Mediasi Hubungan Internasional strives to build and maintain trust within the scientific community, and ensure that published research has lasting credibility and impact in international relations studies.
