Publication Ethics

Introduction

Health Gate is a peer-reviewed and double blind reviewed journal. Published in 4 editions each year (in January, April, July and October), Health Gate encourages submission of work related to health, especially health issues in the form of articles.  All authors who submit their work to a journal for publication as an original article declare that the work submitted represents the author's contribution and has not been copied or plagiarized in whole or in part from another work. This statement is based on COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication

Publication of articles in peer-reviewed journals on Health Gate is an important foundation in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network. This is a direct reflection of the quality of the author's work and the institutions that support it. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. Therefore, it is important to agree on standards of ethical behavior expected for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, peer-reviewers, publishers, and the public.

Allegations of Research Misconduct

The Blitar City PPNI organization as publisher of Health Gate carries out its supervisory duties at all stages of publication seriously and we are aware of ethical behavior and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprints or other commercial revenue does not impact or influence editorial decisions. Apart from that, the Blitar City PPNI organization and the Editorial Board will assist with communication with other journals and/or publishers if useful and necessary.

If violations are alleged, the Editors and Editorial Board will use COPE best practices to help them resolve complaints and deal fairly with the violations. This will include an investigation into the allegations made by the Editor. Manuscripts submitted and found to contain such violations will be rejected. In cases where a published paper is found to contain such violations, a retraction may be published and will be attributed to the original article.

The first step involves determining the validity of the allegation and assessing whether the allegation is consistent with the definition of research misconduct. This initial step also involves determining whether the individual reporting the violation has a relevant conflict of interest.

If there is a possibility of scientific misconduct or other substantial research irregularities, the allegation is conveyed to the corresponding author, who, on behalf of all co-authors, is asked to provide a detailed response. Once responses are received and evaluated, additional review and involvement of experts (such as statistical reviewers) may be obtained. For cases where infringement is unlikely, clarification, additional analysis, or both, published in the form of a letter to the editor, and often including a correction notice and correction to the published article are sufficient.

Institutions are expected to conduct appropriate and thorough investigations into 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 regarding scientific misconduct, and taking necessary actions based on evaluation of such concerns, such as corrections, retractions with replacement, and retractions, Health Gate Journal will continue to fulfill its responsibility to ensure the validity and integrity of the scientific record.

Publication decisions

Health Gate editors are responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. Validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers should always drive such decisions. Editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and limited by applicable legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editors can consult with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

 

Complaints and Appeals

Health Gate will have clear procedures for handling complaints against the journal, Editorial Staff, Editorial Board or Publisher. Complaints will be clarified to a respected person in connection with the complaint case. The scope of the complaint covers everything related to the journal's business processes, for example the editorial process, discovery of citation manipulation, unfair editors/reviewers, peer-review manipulation, etc. Complaint cases will be processed in accordance with COPE guidelines. Complaint cases must be sent via email to: healthgateblitar@gmail.com

Fair play

Editors at all times evaluate manuscripts based on their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality

Editors and any editorial staff should not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript may not be used in the editor's own research without written permission from the author.

 

Duties of Reviewers

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.

Speed. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that prompt review is not possible should notify the editor and seek permission from the review process.

Confidentiality. Any manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. The document may not be shown or discussed with others except with the permission of the editor.

Objectivity Standards. The review must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. The referee must express his views clearly with supporting arguments.

Source Acknowledgment. Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the author. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been reported previously should be accompanied by relevant citations. A reviewer should also draw the editor's attention if there are substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and other published papers of which they are personally aware.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts that have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any authors, companies, or institutions associated with the paper.

Reporting standards. Authors of original research reports must present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be presented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain enough detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. False or intentionally inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable behavior.

Duties of Authors

Originality and Plagiarism. Authors must ensure that they have written an entirely original work, and that if the author has used the work and/or words of others that the work has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Excessive, or Simultaneous Publication. In general, an author may not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

Source Acknowledgment. Proper recognition of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were 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, conduct, or interpretation of the research being reported. All parties who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. If others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and approved its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest. All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results 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 published work, it is the author's obligation to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
