Publication Ethic

Journal RISKA (Riset Ekonomi Manajemen dan Akuntansi) is a scholarly journal that upholds a peer-review process as part of its commitment to academic quality and integrity. This publication ethics statement outlines the ethical standards expected of all parties involved in the publishing process, including authors, the editor-in-chief, editorial board members, peer reviewers, and the publisher.

This policy is guided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors, as well as the current COPE Core Practices recognized globally. Journal RISKA is committed to promoting honesty, objectivity, and scientific responsibility throughout the entire publication process—from manuscript submission to final publication—to ensure that each article published contributes meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge and society.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The publication of articles in a peer-reviewed journal such as Journal RISKA serves as a fundamental pillar in the development of a credible, structured, and widely respected body of knowledge. Each published article reflects the quality of the authors’ work and the integrity of the institutions that support them, while also reinforcing the principles of scientific inquiry and academic rigor.

Therefore, it is essential that all parties involved in the publication process—including authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and the academic community—adhere to established ethical standards. Upholding these ethical principles is crucial not only for maintaining the quality and credibility of each publication, but also for fostering public trust in scholarly research disseminated through Journal RISKA.
