Publication Ethics

JALALAIN: Journal of Qur’an and Hadith Studies is fully committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics in every stage of the publishing process. The following ethical guidelines apply to all parties involved in the journal’s publication: authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher.

1. Authors’ Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all manuscripts submitted to JALALAIN are original works that have not been previously published or submitted elsewhere. Any form of plagiarism, falsification, or data manipulation is strictly prohibited. Authors must provide accurate and verifiable data, accompanied by proper references and citations. The authorship should accurately reflect those who have made substantial scholarly contributions to the research. Authors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and to confirm their agreement with the final version of the manuscript prior to submission. Should any significant errors or inaccuracies be discovered after publication, the authors are expected to promptly inform the editor and cooperate in making corrections or retractions.

2. Editorial Responsibilities

Editors of JALALAIN are expected to make publication decisions based solely on the academic merit, relevance, and quality of submitted manuscripts, without discrimination based on race, gender, religious affiliation, nationality, or political orientation. Editors are responsible for ensuring a fair, objective, and confidential peer-review process. They must not exploit unpublished materials from submitted manuscripts for personal use. Editors are also required to recuse themselves from handling manuscripts if any conflict of interest arises, and to act with integrity in maintaining the ethical reputation of the journal.

3. Reviewers’ Responsibilities

Reviewers play an essential role in maintaining the scholarly quality of JALALAIN. They are expected to review manuscripts critically, objectively, and within a reasonable timeframe. All manuscripts must be treated as confidential documents and must not be shared with or discussed among unauthorized persons. Reviewers should immediately inform the editor if they feel unqualified to evaluate a manuscript or if a conflict of interest exists. Reviewers are encouraged to report any unethical practices such as plagiarism, data fabrication, or improper citation that they detect during the review process.

4. Publisher’s Responsibilities

Yayasan An-Nur Meunara Baro, as the publisher of JALALAIN, is dedicated to supporting editorial independence and ensuring that ethical principles are respected throughout the publication process. The publisher ensures that editorial decisions are made free from any commercial or institutional influence. In cases of proven ethical misconduct such as plagiarism, data falsification, or duplicate publication, the publisher will take necessary actions, including issuing corrections, retractions, or formal notices to maintain academic integrity.
