Authorship Criteria

JUMPA: Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan follows the authorship guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Authorship gives credit for a work and also carries public responsibility for its content.

Who Qualifies as an Author

A person should be listed as an author only if he or she meets all of the following criteria:

  1. made a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the study, or to the collection, analysis, or interpretation of the data;
  2. drafted the manuscript or revised it critically for important intellectual content;
  3. approved the final version to be published; and
  4. agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work, including its accuracy and integrity.

Persons who contributed to the work but do not meet these criteria, such as those who provided technical help, language editing, data collection support, or general supervision, should be named in the Acknowledgments section with their permission.

Corresponding Author

The corresponding author acts on behalf of all co-authors during submission, peer review, and publication. He or she must ensure that all listed authors meet the criteria above, that no eligible author has been omitted, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final manuscript before submission.

Order of Authors and Changes in Authorship

The order of authors should be agreed upon by all authors before submission. Any request to add, remove, or rearrange author names after submission must be sent to the editor by the corresponding author, together with the reason for the change and written consent from all authors. Changes in authorship after an article has been accepted are permitted only in exceptional circumstances.

Ghost, Guest, and Gift Authorship

Ghost authorship (omitting a person who meets the criteria), guest authorship, and gift authorship (listing a person who does not meet the criteria) are considered unethical. Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors because they cannot take responsibility for the work.

Authorship Disputes

The journal does not judge authorship disputes between authors. Such disputes should be resolved by the authors or their institutions. The editor may suspend the processing of a manuscript until the dispute is resolved and, where necessary, follow the relevant COPE flowcharts. If the integrity of a published article is affected, the journal may publish a correction or an expression of concern.
