PUBLICATION ETHICS
JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND SCIENCES (JPS)
Journal of Pharmaceutical and Sciences (JPS) is committed to publishing quality scientific articles in accordance with the ethics of publication of scientific articles. Published articles are articles that have been reviewed by competent reviewers in their respective fields of expertise, as determined by the editorial board. The Journal of Pharmaceutical and Sciences (JPS) highly values the aspects of originality, relevance, ultimately, statistical examiners, and the contribution of authors in considering the feasibility of scientific articles. The Peer Review process is carried out in accordance with the standards we have written on the Peer Review Process page. In the review process, there are several possibilities that occur, including : the article will be accepted, minor revisions, major revisions, and articles rejected for publication. Scientific articles that reviewed for revision will be published have resubmitted the revised article, while articles that are rejected will not be reviewed. Authors are required to fill out the Copyright Transfer Agreement form and Non-Plagiarism Statement before the article is published. Articles not submitted or being published in other journals.
The following statement describes the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the publication of articles for the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Sciences (JPS), namely: authors, editors, and reviewers.
Authors, editors, reviewers have the following obligations:
A. Duties of Authors (This Rule Was Made Based on Elsevier's Policy Guidelines)
A.1. Reporting standards
Authors submitting original research articles must present an accurate calculation of the research carried out in accordance with the objectives and discussion of the significance of the results. The primary data must be represented in the manuscript. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the research. Deliberately made reports of fraud or inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable behavior. Professional published reviews and articles must also be accurate and objective, and editors must be able to identify this clearly.
A.2. Data Access and Retention
During the publishing process, the Author may be asked to provide raw data relating to the article manuscript for the purposes of the editorial review process, and if possible, the Author must provide access to the public to such data, and must be prepared under any circumstances to save the data for a period of time. Reasonable after publication.
A.3. Originality and Plagiarism
The Author must be able to ensure that what has been written is entirely original work, and if the Author has used the work or words of others, it must be quoted appropriately. Plagiarism can take several forms, ranging from admitting other people's manuscripts to their works, copying or quoting substantial parts of other texts without attribution, and claiming the results of research done by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical behavior and is not acceptable for publication
A.4. Multiple, Redundant, and Simultaneous Publications
Authors should not publish manuscripts that describe the same basis for research in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript in more than one journal at the same time is unethical and unacceptable behavior. In general, authors should not submit manuscripts for consideration in other previously published journals. The publication of several types of articles (clinical guidelines, translations) in more than one journal can sometimes be justified on the condition that it meets certain conditions. The writer and editor of the journal concerned must approve secondary publications that must reflect the same data and interpretation of the primary documents. Primary references should be cited in secondary publications.
A.5. Source recognition
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be written down. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the research reported. Information obtained privately, such as in conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties, may not be used or reported without written permission from the source. Information obtained in confidential service processes such as jury texts or grant applications may not be used without the written permission of the authors involved.
A.6. Writers in Manuscripts
Authors should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception, implementation, or interpretation of the reported research. Everyone who has made a significant contribution should be a co-author. If there are other people who have participated in the substantive aspects of the research, they must be recognized or registered as contributors. The correspondence writer must ensure that all appropriate co-authors have been included in the manuscript and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final manuscript and agree to submit the manuscript for publication.

Authors must include a statement in the text that informed consent has been obtained for experiments with human subjects. The right to privacy of the human subject must always be considered.
