Syariah: Jurnal Hukum dan Pemikiran takes allegations of research and publication misconduct seriously regardless of whether they arise before or after publication.
Potential misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
- fabrication;
- falsification;
- plagiarism;
- manipulated or fictitious peer review;
- fraudulent authorship;
- undisclosed duplicate publication;
- unethical research practices;
- citation manipulation;
- image or data manipulation;
- false institutional affiliation;
- undeclared conflicts of interest; and
- deliberate misrepresentation of evidence.
Investigation Procedure
When a credible concern is received, the editorial office will:
- conduct an initial confidential assessment;
- preserve relevant editorial and submission records;
- determine whether the allegation falls within the journal's responsibility;
- request an explanation and supporting information from the author or other relevant party where appropriate;
- consult independent experts when necessary;
- communicate with relevant institutions, funders, publishers, or journals when justified;
- evaluate the evidence objectively; and
- determine an appropriate editorial action.
The journal distinguishes editorial investigation from institutional investigation of research misconduct.
Where allegations concern conduct that can only be fully investigated by an author's institution, the journal may refer the matter to the appropriate institution while taking interim steps to protect the scholarly record.
Possible outcomes include:
- no further action;
- request for clarification;
- manuscript rejection;
- correction;
- Expression of Concern;
- retraction;
- notification of an institution or funder; or
- other proportionate measures.
Individuals raising concerns in good faith will be treated respectfully and their identities protected where reasonably possible and legally permitted.
The journal will not act on unsupported allegations solely because they are anonymous, nor will anonymity automatically prevent investigation where credible evidence is provided.
