Publication Ethics

Journal of Islamic Primary Education (JIPEDU) is a peer-reviewed journal managed professionally by the Primary Education (PGMI) Study Program. It is committed to upholding copyright, privacy, and the ethical standards of scientific publication. Articles published in this journal are results of research conducted within the last three years and are relevant to Islamic primary education, such as learning in PGMI/PGSD, the development of instructional models, teacher competence enhancement, and classroom management. Manuscripts are written by competent authors and present novelty, originality, and usefulness.

To maintain the quality of the journal and the professionalism of all parties involved—authors, editors, reviewers, and journal managers—JIPEDU adheres to the “Publication Ethics of Journal of Islamic Primary Education”, which follows the Regulation of the Head of LIPI No. 5 of 2014 on the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications and refers to the standards set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). This code aims to prevent publication malpractice and violations such as duplication, fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism.
