Publication Ethics

The International Journal of Data Science (IJoDS) is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics. We adhere to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Core Practices and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing to ensure integrity in our scholarly publishing process. Our policies are designed to foster responsible research conduct, maintain the accuracy and reliability of the scholarly record, and ensure fair and transparent processes for authors, reviewers, and readers.

IJoDS believes that ethical publishing is crucial for the advancement of data science and for maintaining public trust in research. We expect all parties involved in the publication process—authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher (Indonesian Society for Knowledge and Human Development (INSIGHT))—to be aware of and adhere to these ethical policies.

Our detailed policies on various aspects of publication ethics are outlined below. We encourage you to read these policies thoroughly.
