Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Pratama Didaktika follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

  • Authors submit original work that has not been published or is not under review elsewhere; list all and only those who qualify as authors; disclose funding and conflicts of interest; and report ethical approval and consent from schools, teachers, parents, or guardians when research involves children.
  • Reviewers keep manuscripts confidential, assess them objectively, decline when they have a conflict of interest, and do not use unpublished material for their own purposes.
  • Editors decide on scholarly merit alone, regardless of the authors' institution, religion, ethnicity, or gender; keep the review process confidential; and handle suspected misconduct following the COPE flowcharts.
  • Misconduct such as plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, duplicate publication, or citation manipulation may lead to rejection or to retraction of the published article, which is announced publicly.
