Authorship and Contributorship Policy

Ensuring fair recognition of scholarly contributions, transparent authorship, and responsible academic accountability.

Jurnal Harkat: Media Komunikasi Gender, published by the Pusat Studi Gender dan Anak (PSGA), LP2M UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, upholds ethical authorship and transparent recognition of scholarly contributions.

Authorship must reflect genuine intellectual involvement in research concerning gender, children, families, religion, education, law, communication, culture, and related interdisciplinary social issues.

Consistent with the journal's Publication Ethics and relevant Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidance, all listed authors must satisfy the journal's authorship criteria, approve the final manuscript, and accept responsibility for the integrity of the work.

Authorship is based on substantial intellectual contribution and accountability. Academic rank, institutional position, supervision, funding, or access to research participants and facilities alone does not justify authorship.

Individuals listed as authors must meet all four criteria:

Authors are encouraged to submit an accurate Author Contribution Statement. The CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) may be used to describe the specific responsibilities of each contributor.

The fourteen CRediT roles are:

CRediT identifies individual contributions but does not independently determine authorship eligibility. Routine transcription, administrative support, proofreading, and funding acquisition alone should normally be acknowledged rather than treated as sufficient grounds for authorship.

Author order should be agreed upon by all co-authors before submission. Names, affiliations, and contact information must be accurate and consistent with manuscript and OJS metadata.

The corresponding author is responsible for:

• Confirming all authors' approval of submission and the final version.
• Ensuring agreement regarding author order and identification details.
• Managing editorial correspondence, revisions, and responses to reviewers.
• Informing co-authors of decisions and publication progress.
• Coordinating authorship, funding, competing-interest, and ethical declarations.

Authors are encouraged to provide ORCID iDs to support accurate scholarly identification.

Jurnal Harkat does not accept authorship arrangements that misrepresent scholarly contributions or undermine accountability.

• Guest or Honorary Authorship: Listing individuals solely because of academic rank, prestige, or institutional authority.
• Ghost Authorship: Omitting individuals who satisfy authorship criteria.
• Gift or Reciprocal Authorship: Awarding authorship without qualifying intellectual contribution.
• Purchased Authorship: Buying or selling positions on the author list.
• Coercive Authorship: Demanding authorship through supervisory or institutional power.
• Unauthorized Authorship: Including individuals without their knowledge or approval.

Any addition, removal, replacement, or change in author order after submission requires a formal explanation and appropriate agreement from all listed authors and affected individuals.

Authorship disputes should ordinarily be resolved by the authors and their institutions. Editors may request contribution records, written statements, or institutional clarification.

Editorial processing may be suspended while a serious unresolved dispute is evaluated. The journal is not ordinarily the final arbiter of disagreements requiring institutional investigation.

Artificial intelligence systems, generative AI tools, chatbots, and large language models cannot be listed as authors or co-authors because they cannot accept scholarly responsibility.

Authors must disclose relevant AI-assisted manuscript preparation, including the tool used, its purpose, and how it was employed.

The disclosure should appear in the cover letter and, where relevant, in the Methods or Acknowledgments section.

The Editorial Team may request clarification or supporting documentation when concerns arise regarding author eligibility, contribution statements, author order, or unauthorized authorship changes.

Possible editorial measures include corrected contribution statements, revised metadata, institutional consultation, suspension of processing, or manuscript rejection when serious concerns are substantiated.

For published articles, appropriate action may include a formal correction or another measure under the journal's publication-ethics procedures. All assessments must respect fairness, confidentiality, and the opportunity for relevant parties to respond.

• All authors meet the four authorship criteria.
• All authors agree to the submission and author order.
• Every author has reviewed and approved the final manuscript.
• Names, affiliations, and metadata are accurate.
• Non-author contributors are acknowledged appropriately.
• Funding, conflicts, ethics, and AI-use disclosures are accurate.
• All authors accept accountability for research integrity.

Jurnal Harkat recognizes genuine intellectual contributions, rejects misleading authorship practices, and maintains transparent scholarly accountability in research on gender, children, families, and society.
