Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics
Sripatum Law Journal, School of Law, Sripatum University

The editorial operations of the Sripatum Law Journal are governed by a code of publication ethics, which is categorized into three groups: Editors, Reviewers, and Authors.

For Editors
1. Editors are responsible for evaluating the quality of manuscripts submitted for publication in the journal.
2. Editors must select manuscripts that are current, relevant, and aligned with the journal’s aims before proceeding to the review process.
3. Editors must not disclose any information regarding authors or reviewers to unrelated parties.
4. Editors must not publish any manuscript that has been previously published elsewhere.
5. Editors must not have any conflicts of interest or personal benefit in relation to the authors or reviewers.
6. Editors shall accept a manuscript for publication only after it has successfully passed the peer-review process and has been revised as necessary within an appropriate timeframe.

For Reviewers
1. Reviewers are responsible for evaluating the quality and significance of the manuscript content based on their full expertise.
2. Reviewers must not disclose information about the author or the content of the manuscript to others.
3. Reviewers must notify the editor if any part of the manuscript is found to be plagiarized or substantially similar to previously published work.
4. Reviewers must not have any conflicts of interest or personal benefit in relation to the authors.

For Authors
1. Authors must prepare their manuscripts according to the journal's submission guidelines.
2. Authors must certify that the submitted manuscript is their original work as declared.
3. Authors must confirm that the manuscript has not been previously published or submitted elsewhere.
4. Authors must confirm that the manuscript is submitted exclusively to the Sripatum Law Journal.
5. If the manuscript has been reviewed and accepted by reviewers, but the authors fail to make revisions as suggested within the specified timeframe—causing undue delay or if the authors intend to withdraw the manuscript—authors agree to compensate the journal for damages incurred, equivalent to the honorarium paid to the reviewers.
