Manuscripts submitted to JIS will undergo a selection and assessment process by the Assistant Editor to ensure their accordance with the writing guideline, focus, and scope, and that they are of excellent academic quality. The manuscripts will be reviewed using the double blind peer review method in which case neither authors nor reviewers know each other’s identities.
Editorial Guideline for Journal Publication. The Editorial Guideline for Journal Publication provides essential instructions and standards for authors, reviewers, and editors to ensure high-quality submissions and publications. Please find the complete editorial guideline at the following link
Desk Review. At the desk review stage, manuscripts will be examined to ensure that they have met the writing guideline, focus, and scope with excellent academic quality. If they do not meet the conditions, the author will be given the opportunity to revise their manuscript according to the given criteria. However, there is also the possibility that the manuscript will be directly rejected.
Peer review. When the manuscript has passed the desk review stage, it will then be delivered to two reviewers who are experts in the field of the submitted manuscript. The review process will be done within 3 weeks. Manuscripts that did not successfully pass the desk review process will not proceed to this stage.
Reviewer’s decision. The reviewers will provide the following recommendations:
The reviewer’s decision will be considered by the Editor in Chief to determine the ensuing process of the manuscript.
Revision Stage. Once the manuscript has been received with notations of minor or major revisions, it will be returned to the author with a review summary form. For manuscripts accepted with major revisions, authors are allotted 5 weeks to revise. Whereas for manuscripts accepted with minor revisions, 3 week is allotted for revision. When returning the revised manuscript, the author is required to fill in and attach the review summary form.
Final decision. At this stage, the manuscript will be re-evaluated by the Assistant Editor to ensure that the author has revised in response to the reviewers’ concerns. In this final decision, the manuscript may still be rejected if the author did not seriously conduct the revisions necessary.
Proofread. Once the manuscript has been deemed acceptable by the Assistant Editor, it will undergo a proofreading process to maintain linguistic quality.
Publication confirmation. At this stage, the final layout of the manuscript will be resent to the author to ensure that the content is in accordance with the author’s writing. At this stage, the author may revise any typographical error found in the final manuscript. Once confirmation from the author is given, the Editor in Chief will process the manuscript for online publication on the website as well as print publication.

This statement clarifies ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing an article in Jurnal Ilmu Sosial, including the authors, the editors, the peer-reviewers and the publisher (Faculty of Social and Political Sciences- Universitas Diponegoro).
Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed Jurnal Ilmu Sosial is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the authors, the journal editors, the peer reviewers, the publisher and the society. Diponegoro University as publisher of this Journal takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognize our ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprint or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, JIS and Editorial Board of JIS will assist in communications with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful and necessary.
Allegations of Research Misconduct
Research misconduct means fabrication, falsification, citation manipulation, or plagiarism in producing, performing, or reviewing research and writing article by authors, or in reporting research results. When authors are found to have been involved with research misconduct or other serious irregularities involving articles that have been published in scientific journals, Editors have a responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record.
In cases of suspected misconduct, the Editors and Editorial Board will use the best practices of COPE to assist them to resolve the complaint and address the misconduct fairly. This will include an investigation of the allegation by the Editors. A submitted manuscript that is found to contain such misconduct will be rejected. In cases where a published paper is found to contain such misconduct, a retraction can be published and will be linked to the original article.
The first step involves determining the validity of the allegation and an assessment of whether the allegation is consistent with the definition of research misconduct. This initial step also involves determining whether the individuals alleging misconduct have relevant conflicts of interest.
If scientific misconduct or the presence of other substantial research irregularities is a possibility, the allegations are shared with the corresponding author, who, on behalf of all of the coauthors, is requested to provide a detailed response. After the response is received and evaluated, additional review and involvement of experts (such as statistical reviewers) may be obtained. For cases in which it is unlikely that misconduct has occurred, clarifications, additional analyses, or both, published as letters to the editor, and often including a correction notice and correction to the published article are sufficient.
Institutions are expected to conduct an appropriate and thorough investigation of allegations of scientific misconduct. Ultimately, authors, journals, and institutions have an important obligation to ensure the accuracy of the scientific record. By responding appropriately to concerns about scientific misconduct, and taking necessary actions based on evaluation of these concerns, such as corrections, retractions with replacement, and retractions, Jurnal Ilmu Sosial will continue to fulfill the responsibilities of ensuring the validity and integrity of the scientific record.
Publication decisions
The editor in chief of Jurnal Ilmu Sosial is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The decision is based on the recommendation of the journal's editorial board members and reviewers. The journal abides by legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor confers with the editorial team and reviewers in making this decision.
Non-Discrimination
The editors and reviewers evaluate manuscripts for intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality
The editor, reviewers, and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial team, and the publisher, as appropriate.
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used by any of the editorial board members and reviewers in their own research.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
The journal uses double-blind review process. The reviewers advise the editor-in-chief in making the editorial decision. The editor-in-chief communicates with authors, as required, and helps them in improving quality of their research paper.
Promptness
The journal editors are committed to provide timely review to the authors. If a reviewer does not submit his/her report in a timely manner, the paper is immediately sent to another qualified reviewer.
Manuscript content is treated with at most confidentiality. The journal uses double blind process. Except for the editor-in-chief, the editors and reviewers cannot discuss paper with any other person, including the authors.
Standards of Objectivity
The editors and reviewers are required to evaluate papers based on the content. The review comment must be respectful of authors. The reviewers are required to justify their decision and recommendation.
Acknowledgement of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
Duties of Authors
Reporting standards
Authors should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work wherever possible. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Data Access and Retention
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review. They should be prepared to provide such data within reasonable time.
Originality and Plagiarism
The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Papers found with such problems are automatically rejected and authors are so advised.
Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication
When a paper is submitted for possible publication, the submitting author makes a written statement that the paper has not been published not it is currently under publication with any other journal. Simultaneous submission is considered unethical and is therefore unacceptable.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others is required. Authors must cite publications that have led to the authors’ current research.
Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the research reported in the manuscript. The corresponding author has a responsibility to keep co-authors posted with the review process. If accepted, all authors are required to give a signed statement that the research work is their original research work.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
Fundamental errors in published works
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
If the research involves confidential data and of business/marketing practices, authors should clearly justify this matter whether the data or information will be hidden securely or not.
For transparency, we encourage authors to write an author statement file outlining their individual contributions to the paper using the relevant CRediT roles: Conceptualization; Data curation; Formal analysis; Funding acquisition; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration; Resources; Software; Supervision; Validation; Visualization; Roles/Writing - original draft; Writing - review & editing. Please turn to the CRediT taxonomy for the term explanation. Authorship must be limited to those who have contributed substantially to the work reported. Authorship statements should be formatted with the CRediT role(s) first and the initial of authors following.
Sample CRedit Author statement:
The following statements should be used “Conceptualization, X.X. and Y.Y.; methodology, X.X.; software, X.X.; validation, X.X., Y.Y. and Z.Z.; formal analysis, X.X.; investigation, X.X.; resources, X.X.; data curation, X.X.; writing—original draft preparation, X.X.; writing—review and editing, X.X.; visualization, X.X.; supervision, X.X.; project administration, X.X.; funding acquisition, Y.Y. All authors have read and agreed to the published version of the manuscript.”
This procedure applies to complaints about the policies, procedures, or actions of the Jurnal Ilmu Sosial editorial staff. We welcome complaints as they provide an opportunity and a spur for improvement, and we aim to respond quickly, courteously, and constructively. The complaint must be about something that is within the responsibility of the Jurnal Ilmu Sosial editorial board – i.e., content or process. The procedure outlined below aims to be fair to those making complaints and those complained about.
Policy and Process
The below procedure applies to appeals to editorial decisions, complaints about the failure of processes such as long delays in handling papers, and complaints about publication ethics. The complaint should in the first instance be handled by the Editor-in-Chief(s) responsible for the journal and/or the Editor who handled the paper. If they are the subject of the complaint please approach the in-house publishing contact. (Please check the contacts page on the journal homepage. If no publishing contact is identified send the query to jis@live.undip.ac.id
Complaint about scientific content, e.g. an appeal against rejectionThe Editor-in-Chief or Handling Editor considers the authors’ argument, and the reviewer reports and decides whether
· The decision to reject should stand
· Another independent opinion is required
· The appeal should be considered.
The complainant is informed of the decision with an explanation if appropriate. Decisions on appeals are final and new submissions take priority over appeals.
Complaints about processes, e.g. time taken to review The Editor-in-Chief together with the Handling Editor (where appropriate) and/or in-house contact (where appropriate) will investigate the matter. The complainant will be given appropriate feedback. Feedback is provided to relevant stakeholders to improve processes and procedures.
Complaints about publication ethics, e.g., researcher's author's, or reviewer's conductThe Editor-in-Chief or Handling Editor follows guidelines published by the Committee on Publication Ethics. The Editor-in-Chief or Handling Editor may ask the publisher via their in-house contact for advice on difficult or complicated cases. The Editor-in-Chief or Handling Editor decides on a course of action and provides feedback to the complainant. If the complainant remains dissatisfied with the handling of their complaint, he or she can submit the complaint to the Committee on Publication Ethics. More information can be found here.
Jurnal Ilmu Sosial has the same policy regarding corrections and retractions. We differentiate between Erratum, Corrigendum, Retraction, Addendum, Article Removal, and Article Withdrawal. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial takes its responsibility to seriously maintain the integrity and completeness of the scholarly record of our content for all end users. Changes to articles after they have been published online may only be made under the circumstances outlined below. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial places great importance on the authority of articles after they have been published, and our policy is based on best practices in the academic publishing community.
Erratum (Publisher Correction): An erratum refers to a correction of errors introduced to the article by the publisher. All publisher-introduced changes are highlighted to the author at the proof stage, and any errors are ideally identified by the author and corrected by the publisher before final publication. Errata should be published for scientifically relevant formatting changes, or changes to authorship if the author or contributor list is incorrect when a deserving author has been omitted, or somebody who does not meet authorship criteria has been included. Scientifically relevant formatting issues that require an Erratum might include missing or unclear figures, or errors introduced during proofreading (e.g., missing text). Minor errors that do not affect readability or meaning (e.g., spelling or grammatical errors) do not qualify for an Erratum. All authors should proofread the final version carefully.
Corrigendum (Author Correction): A corrigendum refers to a change to an article that the author wishes to publish at any time after acceptance. Authors should contact the editor of the journal, who will determine the impact of the change and decide on the appropriate course of action. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial will only instigate a corrigendum to a published article after receiving approval and instructions from the editor.
Author Name Change Policy: Some authors might wish to change their name following publication. In such cases, Jurnal Ilmu Sosial will update and republish the article and re-deliver the updated metadata to the appropriate indexing services (please note that all updates are dependent upon the policies of the databases). Our teams are aware that name changes can be sensitive and/or private in nature, for a variety of reasons that may include alignment with gender identity, marriage, divorce, or religious conversion. Therefore, to protect the author's identity, an Erratum will not be published and co-authors will not be notified. Authors should contact the journal’s Editorial Office (email to: jis@live.undip.ac.id with their name change request.
Retraction: Notification of erroneous results that have the potential to undermine the trustworthiness of a previously published publication. Despite the fact that the original publication has been retracted, it is still available to readers, and the retraction statement informing readers of the invalidity of the published work is bidirectionally connected to the original published document.
Addendum: If crucial results (e.g., additional affiliation, clarify some aspect of methods/analysis, etc.) were unintentionally omitted from the original publication, the original article can be amended through an Addendum reporting these previously omitted results. The Addendum will be published, with article numbers added, in the current issue of the journal. A hyperlink to the Addendum will also be added to the original publication, but the original paper does not need to be updated.
Article Removal: An article removal will be issued in rare circumstances where the problems are very serious in nature and cannot be addressed by a Retraction or Correction notice. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial will consider removing a published article from very limited circumstances such as 1) If the article contains content that could pose a serious risk if followed or acted upon. 2) If the article contains content that violates the rights to privacy of a study participant. 3) If the article is defamatory or infringes other legal rights. 4) If an article is subject to a court order. In case of an article is removed from Jurnal Ilmu Sosial, a removal notice will be issued in its place.
Withdrawal Policy: Some writers request that their submissions be removed from the publication process after they have been submitted. Withdrawing submissions from consideration for publication wastes valuable resources and an enormous amount of work put forward by the editors, reviewers, and editorial staff in the course of processing the manuscripts. As a result, submission of an article to Jurnal Ilmu Sosial indicates that the work has not been published or submitted elsewhere; as a result, the journal is highly opposed to the unethical removal of an article from the publication process after it has been submitted. Once an article has been submitted, the author provides the editorial board with complete publishing rights, and the editorial board has the exclusive authority to decide whether or not an article should be withdrawn from publication.
Data Sharing
Sharing the full data sets underlying the results in your article brings many benefits. It enables reuse, reduces research waste, and promotes collaboration. Greater transparency increases trust in research results by allowing results to be independently verified. These benefits lead to a more reliable evidence base and a healthier world. Authors submitting their research article to this journal are encouraged to deposit research data as a supplementary file during submission or in a relevant data repository and cite and link to this dataset in their article. If this is not possible, authors are encouraged to make a statement explaining why research data cannot be shared. Sharing your data helps you get credit for your work and make your data accessible and discoverable for your peers.
The policies on data sharing:
· We require that the data generated by your research that supports your article be made openly and publicly available upon publication of your article. Where it is not possible or viable to make data openly available (due to confidentiality or sensitivity issues), they should be shared through a controlled access repository.
· We strongly encourage that data generated by your research that supports your article be made available as soon as possible, wherever legally and ethically possible
Data Availability Statement
Jurnal Ilmu Sosial requires a Data Availability Statement for any submitted research articles. On submission, authors are asked to select at least one of the standardized Data Availability Statements text options below in bold as applicable and to supplement these statements with additional information as noted in the guidance below. Authors can select more than one statement if they have data under different conditions.
These statements will be published under the section "Data Availability Statement" of the final published article.
· Data are available in a public, open-access repository. Please state the repository name, the persistent URL, and any conditions of reuse (eg. license, embargo). All data that are publicly available and used in the writing of an article should be cited in the text and the reference list, whether they are data generated by the author(s) or by other researchers.
· Data are available upon reasonable request. Please state what the data are (e.g. deidentified participant data), who the data are available from, their publishable contact details (e.g. a generic lab email address or an individual ORCID identifier, please ensure you have permission), and under what conditions, reuse is permitted. Is there additional information available (e.g. protocols, statistical analysis plans)?
· Data may be obtained from a third party and are not publicly available. Please state what the data are (e.g. deidentified participant data), who the data are available from, their publishable contact details (e.g. a generic lab email address or an individual ORCID identifier, please ensure you have permission), and under what conditions, reuse is permitted. Is there additional information available (e.g. protocols, statistical analysis plans)
· All data relevant to the study are included in the article or uploaded as supplementary information. Please ensure this does not include respondent-identifiable data. Please state "Not applicable."
· Data sharing is not applicable as no datasets were generated and/or analyzed for this study. Please state "Not applicable."

DECLARATION OF COMPETING INTERESTS FOR AUTHORS
Declare conflicts of interest or state. Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results. In the interests of transparency and to help readers form their own judgments of potential bias, Jurnal Ilmu Sosial requires reviewers and authors to declare any competing financial and/or non-financial interests in relation to the work described. The corresponding author is responsible for submitting a competing interests statement on behalf of all authors of the paper.
Definition
For the purposes of this policy, competing interests are defined as financial and non-financial interests that could directly undermine, or be perceived to undermine, the objectivity, integrity, and value of a publication through a potential influence on the judgments and actions of authors with regard to objective data presentation, analysis, and interpretation.
Financial competing interests
Financial competing interests include (but are not limited to):
1. Receiving reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that may in any way gain or loses financially from the publication of the article, either now or in the future.
2. Holding stocks or shares in an organization that may in any way gain or loses financially from the publication of the article, either now or in the future.
3. Holding, or currently applying for, patents relating to the manuscript's content.
4. Receiving reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that holds or has applied for patents relating to the manuscript's content.
Non-financial competing interests
Non-financial competing interests include (but are not limited to) political, personal, religious, ideological, academic, and intellectual competing interests.
Example of competing interest statements:
"I/We have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper."
“The authors declare no conflict of interest.”
DECLARATION OF COMPETING INTERESTS FOR REVIEWERS
We ask that all reviewers disclose both 'Non-Financial' and 'Financial' Competing Interests that might lead a reasonable person to question whether your interpretation of the data or of the article may have been influenced by your personal or financial relationship with other people or organizations. For every peer review report submission, you must state whether you have any competing interests, and if you disclose that you do have some, you must provide details.
All competing interests that are declared will be displayed against your peer review report. If no competing interests are provided, the line: ‘No competing interests were disclosed’ will be added to your report. If you are unsure whether you have a competing interest, please contact our editorial office at jis@live.undip.ac.id.
When deciding if you have a competing interest, it might be helpful to consider the following examples, but note that this is not an exhaustive list:
· In the past five years have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that may in any way gain or loses financially from the online listing of this work, either now or in the future? Is such an organization financing the work presented in this article or its presentation at a conference? If so, please specify.
· Do you hold any stocks or shares in an organization that may in any way gain or loses financially from the online listing of this work, either now or in the future? If so, please specify.
· Do you hold or are you currently applying for any patents relating to the content of the work? Have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that holds or has applied for patents relating to the content of the work? If so, please specify.
· Do you have any other financial competing interests? If so, please specify.
· Are you a current collaborator with any of the authors of the paper in question, or have you been in the past 3 years?
· Have you co-authored a paper with any of the authors of the paper in question in the past 3 years?
· Are there any other non-financial competing interests (political, personal, religious, ideological, academic, intellectual, commercial or any other) to declare in relation to your assessment of this work? If so, please specify.
Jurnal Ilmu Sosial will not tolerate any plagiarism. Therefore, the Author(s) should check their manuscript through a plagiarism checker application before submitting it.
Manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Ilmu Sosial will be screened for plagiarism using the Turnitin plagiarism detection tool. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism and be returned them to the authors for correction.
Jurnal Ilmu Sosial wants to ensure that all authors are careful and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly on the issue of plagiarism.
Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without proper credit to the source. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and unacceptable in international academic publications.
A citation is required when the author learns specific information from a specific source (name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information).
When the author takes an idea from another author, a citation is required even if the author then develops the idea further. This might be an idea about how to interpret the data, either what methodology to use or what conclusion to draw. It might be an idea about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, authors should cite their sources. In cases where the author develops the idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source of the idea, and then in a subsequent sentence, the author can explain her or his more developed idea.
When the author takes words from another author, a citation and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to denote the use of another author's original words; just a citation is no longer enough.
Jurnal Ilmu Sosial takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance from a paper that violates any of the standards above. For further information, potential authors can contact the editorial office at:
Attracting high-quality submissions is critical to the success of a journal. That's why our publishing teams work closely to increase visibility and promote the research we publish. The marketing campaigns we develop are targeted and data-driven to help our journal reach potential authors and readers and to maximize the success of our journal. In promoting the journal and publications to the public, Jurnal Ilmu Sosial attempts to avoid actions detrimental to other parties (e.g., spreading spam) and to avoid misleading information between prospective authors and publishers.
Our goals are to raise awareness, drive submissions, and Increase readership. The strategy we do:
Discoverability of Journal Homepage
The fundamental goal of the discoverability of the journal homepage is to drive submissions by:
The journal homepage provides a unique platform highlighting the journal's aims and scope, important news, content, and journal insights (e.g., publication times).
Search Engine Optimization
The discoverability of our journal homepage and the content hosted on our various platforms is significantly improved, largely thanks to the contributions of search engines like Google. We optimize the content of our website so that it achieves a higher position in the rankings of the major search engines. Through the optimization of keywords, images, and headlines, we make sure that the homepage of our journal is accessible to the largest and most relevant audience possible. This results in increased visibility of our sites and the individual journals we publish.
Social Media
For researchers, using social media has become a routine part of their lives. We have created social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to promote new research and issue calls for submissions across a wide variety of subject areas to meet the rising demand that this trend has created. These channels increase the traffic directed to journals' homepages, allow researchers to interact with us directly, and speed up networking within their respective communities.

The use of AI Tools must be declared at the time of submission in a dedicated AI Declaration Statement, specifying:
Example declaration:
“The author(s) used [tool name] to support language editing and/or organizational clarity. All outputs were reviewed and revised by the author(s), who take full responsibility for the content of this article.”
Routine tools for grammar checking, spelling, or reference management do not require disclosure.If AI is used as part of the research process (e.g., AI-assisted data coding or analysis), this must be clearly reported in the Methods section.
Authorship
AI Tools may not be listed as authors or co-authors.Authorship is limited to human contributors who meet established scholarly criteria for intellectual contribution and accountability.
Use of AI in Figures, Images, and Visual Materials
The use of generative AI to create or manipulate figures, images, or visual materials is not permitted.Minor technical adjustments (e.g., brightness or contrast) are acceptable when they do not alter meaning or interpretation.
Exceptions may apply when AI-based visual generation or analysis is an explicit part of the research methodology. In such cases, full methodological transparency is required, including tool specifications and procedural details.
2. Policy for Reviewers
Manuscripts under review are confidential documents. Reviewers must not upload, share, or process submitted manuscripts or review reports through AI Tools, as this may violate confidentiality and intellectual property rights.
Use of AI in Peer Review
Generative AI must not be used to evaluate manuscripts, generate review reports, or formulate editorial judgments. Peer review relies on human expertise, critical reasoning, and disciplinary knowledge that cannot be delegated to AI systems.
Reviewers remain fully responsible for the content, fairness, and accuracy of their evaluations.
Limited Supportive Use
Reviewers may use AI-assisted language tools to improve the clarity or grammar of their own review comments, provided that confidentiality and scholarly judgment are not compromised.
3. Policy for Editors
Confidentiality and Editorial Integrity
Editors must not upload manuscripts, reviewer reports, or editorial correspondence into AI Tools. Protecting author confidentiality and unpublished intellectual work is a core editorial responsibility.
Editorial Decision-Making
Editorial decisions must be based on human judgment, scholarly standards, and ethical accountability. Generative AI must not be used to assess manuscript quality or to draft editorial decisions.
Permissible Administrative Uses
Editors may use AI Tools for limited administrative support, such as:
Oversight and Compliance
If inappropriate or undisclosed use of AI is suspected, editors are responsible for initiating appropriate follow-up actions in accordance with journal policies.
Generative AI refers to computational systems capable of producing text, images, audio, or data based on user prompts, including but not limited to tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Paperpal, Jenni AI, DALL·E, Jasper, and similar platforms.
Conclusion
The Journal of Social Sciences (JIS) recognizes the potential of AI technologies to support scholarly communication. However, AI must remain a supplementary tool rather than a substitute for human reasoning, ethical judgment, and academic originality. Transparency, accountability, and intellectual integrity remain non-negotiable principles in all stages of research and publication.
