Authorship Criteria

Fon: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia follows the authorship guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). A person is listed as an author only if they meet all of the following criteria.

  1. Made a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the study, the acquisition of data, or the analysis and interpretation of data.
  2. Drafted the manuscript or revised it critically for important intellectual content.
  3. Approved the final version to be published.
  4. Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work, including the accuracy and integrity of every part of it.

Contributors who are not authors

People who supported the research but do not meet all of the criteria above, such as funders, technical assistants, translators, or informants, are named in the Acknowledgments, not as authors.

Corresponding author

The corresponding author acts on behalf of all authors during submission, review, and publication; ensures that all authors have approved the manuscript and the order of authors; and serves as the contact person after publication.

Changes to authorship

Authors may be added, removed, or reordered only before acceptance, through a written request to the editorial office that states the reason and is approved by all authors. Changes after acceptance or publication are handled under the Corrections and Retractions Policy.

Unacceptable practices

  • Guest or gift authorship: listing people who did not contribute.
  • Ghost authorship: omitting people who meet the authorship criteria.
  • Listing artificial intelligence (AI) as an author. The use of AI is governed by the Artificial Intelligence Use Policy.

Suspected authorship misconduct is handled under the Procedure for Allegations of Research Misconduct.
