JURNAL KIMIA VALENSI • SCHOLARLY CONTRIBUTION & ACCOUNTABILITY

Authorship and Contributorship Policy

Ensuring fair recognition of scientific contributions, transparent authorship, and responsible accountability in chemistry and related research.

GENUINE CONTRIBUTION TRANSPARENT AUTHORSHIP SCIENTIFIC ACCOUNTABILITY

Policy Statement

Jurnal Kimia VALENSI, published by the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, is committed to ethical authorship, transparent recognition of scientific contributions, and accountability for published research.

Authorship must reflect genuine intellectual involvement in theoretical, experimental, computational, analytical, or applied chemistry research. Contributions may include the conceptualization and design of research, development of experimental methods, data acquisition and interpretation, scientific analysis, and substantive preparation or revision of the manuscript.

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

Core Principle

Authorship must be based on substantial intellectual contribution and scholarly accountability. Academic rank, institutional position, general supervision, research funding, ownership of laboratory facilities, or routine technical assistance alone does not establish eligibility for authorship.

1. Criteria for Authorship

Individuals listed as authors of manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Kimia VALENSI must meet all four authorship criteria.

Substantial Research Contribution Making a meaningful contribution to the conception or design of the research, acquisition of data, experimental investigation, scientific analysis, or interpretation of research findings.

Manuscript Preparation or Critical Revision Drafting the manuscript or critically revising important intellectual content, including the scientific background, theoretical arguments, methodology, data analysis, interpretation, or discussion.

Final Manuscript Approval Reviewing and approving the final version of the manuscript before its submission and publication.

Accountability Accepting responsibility for all aspects of the work and ensuring that questions concerning research accuracy, data reliability, scientific integrity, or ethical conduct are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Important: All listed authors must satisfy the journal's authorship requirements. Individuals who contribute to the research but do not meet all four criteria should be acknowledged appropriately rather than automatically included in the author list.

2. Contributorship and CRediT Taxonomy

Authors are encouraged to provide an accurate Author Contribution Statement describing the specific scientific responsibilities of each contributor.

The CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) may be used to describe individual contributions in a standardized and transparent manner.

The CRediT taxonomy identifies the following fourteen contributor roles:

Conceptualization Methodology Investigation Formal Analysis Data Curation Software Validation Visualization Writing – Original Draft Writing – Review & Editing Resources Supervision Project Administration Funding Acquisition

Example — Experimental Chemistry Research

Author Contributions: A.B.: Conceptualization, Methodology, Investigation, Writing – Original Draft. C.D.: Investigation, Data Curation, Formal Analysis, Writing – Review & Editing. E.F.: Validation, Supervision, Writing – Review & Editing.

All authors reviewed and approved the final manuscript and agreed to be accountable for the accuracy and integrity of the work.

CRediT describes individual responsibilities but does not independently determine eligibility for authorship. A contributor may perform multiple roles, and several contributors may share the same role. Routine laboratory assistance, access to instruments, administrative support, proofreading, or funding acquisition alone does not necessarily qualify an individual for authorship.

3. Author Order and Corresponding Author

The order of authors must be agreed upon by all co-authors before manuscript submission. The author list should accurately reflect the agreed scholarly contributions and must not be influenced by inappropriate institutional, financial, or personal considerations.

Author names, affiliations, corresponding-author information, and other metadata must be accurate and consistent between the manuscript and the journal's Online Journal Systems (OJS) submission record.

The corresponding author is responsible for:

Ensuring that all authors meet the journal's authorship criteria.
Confirming agreement concerning author order and affiliation information.
Obtaining all authors' approval of the manuscript before submission.
Managing communication with the Editorial Office.
Coordinating responses to reviewers and manuscript revisions.
Informing co-authors of editorial decisions and publication progress.
Coordinating author contribution, funding, conflict-of-interest, and relevant ethical declarations.
Ensuring that all authors approve the final manuscript before publication.

Authors are encouraged to provide valid ORCID iDs to support reliable scholarly identification and accurate attribution of published research.

4. Unacceptable Authorship Practices

Jurnal Kimia VALENSI does not accept authorship arrangements that misrepresent intellectual contributions or undermine accountability for scientific research.

Guest or Honorary Authorship Including individuals solely because of academic rank, institutional authority, prestige, or professional position.

Ghost Authorship Omitting individuals who meet the journal's authorship criteria and should be recognized as authors.

Gift or Reciprocal Authorship Granting authorship as a favor or reciprocal arrangement without a qualifying intellectual contribution.

Purchased Authorship Buying, selling, or otherwise commercially transferring positions in the author list.

Coercive Authorship Demanding inclusion as an author through supervisory authority, institutional power, or other inappropriate pressure.

Unauthorized Authorship Including a person's name without their knowledge, consent, or approval of the manuscript.

Scientific Integrity: Ownership of a laboratory, provision of research instruments, general supervision, institutional access, or funding support does not automatically establish authorship eligibility. Contributions must be assessed against the journal's four authorship criteria.

5. Authorship Changes and Disputes

Any addition, removal, replacement, or change in author order after manuscript submission must be supported by an appropriate explanation and agreement from all listed authors and affected individuals.

Before Publication Proposed authorship changes require editorial consideration, reasonable justification, and evidence of appropriate agreement among the relevant authors.

After Publication Substantiated changes to authorship may require a formal correction of the published article and associated bibliographic metadata.

Authorship disputes should ordinarily be resolved by the authors and their research institutions. The Editorial Team may request contribution records, author statements, correspondence, or institutional clarification when necessary.

Editorial processing may be suspended while serious unresolved authorship concerns are assessed. The journal's role in publication decisions is distinguished from the institutional responsibility for investigating disputes concerning research conduct or contribution claims.

6. Acknowledgment of Non-Author Contributors

Individuals and organizations that provide valuable assistance but do not satisfy all authorship criteria should be acknowledged appropriately.

In chemical research, acknowledgments may recognize:

Laboratory technicians providing routine analytical or experimental assistance.
Instrument operators supporting NMR, FTIR, GC-MS, HPLC, XRD, SEM, TEM, or other characterization procedures.
Personnel assisting with sample preparation, testing, or laboratory facilities.
Institutions providing equipment, research infrastructure, or access to specialized facilities.
Individuals assisting with language editing or administrative coordination.
Research funding institutions and supporting organizations.

Acknowledgments must accurately describe contributions and must not be used to conceal individuals who actually satisfy the criteria for authorship.

7. Artificial Intelligence and Authorship

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 or meet the journal's human authorship criteria.

In accordance with Jurnal Kimia VALENSI's policy on the use of generative AI in scientific writing, authors must disclose relevant AI assistance used during manuscript preparation.

Generative AI assistance in scientific writing should be limited to improving readability and language quality under appropriate human oversight. Authors must review and verify any AI-assisted output.

A declaration of generative AI use in scientific writing must be provided at the time of initial submission and included in a designated section before the References in the published manuscript.

Human Responsibility Human authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, references, scientific interpretations, research data, and ethical integrity of their manuscript, including any content prepared with AI assistance.

For detailed requirements, consult the journal's Declaration of Generative AI in Scientific Writing .

8. Authorship Verification and Editorial Action

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

Depending on the circumstances and available evidence, appropriate editorial measures may include:

Requesting corrected or more detailed author contribution statements.
Requesting author approval or clarification concerning author order.
Correcting inaccurate manuscript or OJS metadata.
Consulting relevant research institutions where an authorship dispute requires independent investigation.
Suspending editorial processing while serious unresolved concerns are examined.
Rejecting a manuscript when serious authorship misconduct is substantiated.
Considering appropriate post-publication correction or other measures under the journal's publication-ethics procedures.

All assessments must respect fairness, confidentiality, appropriate documentation, and the opportunity for relevant parties to provide explanations.
