Publication Ethics

Stamina is a peer-reviewed electronic national journal. This statement clarifies the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing articles in this journal, including authors, editors-in-chief, Editorial Board, peer-reviewers and publishers (Padang State University). This statement is based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The publication of articles in peer-reviewed Stamina is an important building block in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the author's work and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. Therefore, it is important to agree on the standards of ethical conduct expected for all parties involved in the publishing act: authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and the public. Padang State University as the publisher of Stamina is responsible for overseeing and monitoring all stages of publication, and we acknowledge ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprints, or other commercial revenue do not impact or influence editorial decisions. The Faculty of Sports Science as the home of Stamina has the responsiveness to provide communication and build partnerships with other institutions to develop journals, however they have no power over publication decisions. All publication decisions are the responsibility of the Editorial Board in a fair and confidential manner. Validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive the decision. Editors may be guided by the journal's editorial board policies and are limited by legal requirements as they later apply regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors can consult with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fairr

An editor at all times evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy

Koncealment

Editors and editorial staff should not disclose any information about the submitted manuscript to anyone other than the appropriate authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and publishers.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished material disclosed in submitted manuscripts may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review helps editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also help authors in improving papers.

Timeliness

Any selected reviewer who feels ineligible to review research reported in a manuscript or knows that his or her quick review is unlikely should notify the editor and release himself or herself from the review process

 

Objectivity Standards

The review must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees must clearly express their views with supporting arguments

Acknowledgment of Source

Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the author. Any statement that observations, derivations, or arguments have been previously reported must be accompanied by relevant citations. A reviewer should also bring to the editor's attention any substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and other published papers in which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts where they have a conflict of interest resulting from a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship or connection with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the paper

Writer's Duties

Reporting standards

The author of the original research report should present an accurate report on the work done as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data should be accurately represented in the paper. A paper should contain enough detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable behavior.

Data Access and Storage

Authors are required to provide raw data in connection with papers for editorial review, and must be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if feasible, and in any event must be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors should ensure that they have written a completely original work, and if the author has used the work and/or words of others that these have been cited or cited appropriately.

Multiple, Excessive, or Concurrent Publications

An author may not, in general, publish a manuscript describing essentially the same research in more than one major journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior

Acknowledgment of Source

Proper recognition of the work of others should always be given. The author should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the work reported.

Paper writing

Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All persons who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. If there are other people who have participated in a particular substantive aspect of the research project, they must be recognized or registered as contributors. Appropriate authors should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have approved its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscripts any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that may be interpreted to affect the outcome or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published works

When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in his or her own published work, it is the author's obligation to immediately notify the editor or publisher of the journal and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
