Authorship Criteria 

Jurnal Sosial Humaniora dan Pendidikan (EDUCATION) recognizes authorship as both scholarly recognition and responsibility for the ethical and intellectual integrity of published work. Authorship must be awarded to individuals who contribute meaningfully to the development of research and participate in the preparation and approval of the manuscript.

The journal promotes fair acknowledgment of contributions across educational, social, and humanities research, including collaborative and interdisciplinary studies.

1. Qualifications for Authorship

To qualify as an author, an individual must fulfill all of the following requirements:

  1. Contribute substantially to the research conception, study design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation of educational, social, or humanistic findings.

  2. Participate in drafting the article or critically revising its intellectual content.

  3. Approve the final manuscript before submission or publication.

  4. Accept responsibility for their scholarly contributions and cooperate in addressing concerns related to research accuracy and integrity.

Meaningful contributions may include developing research frameworks, designing educational interventions, conducting substantive qualitative analysis, or interpreting empirical findings, provided the remaining authorship requirements are fulfilled.

2. Recognition of Non-Author Contributions

Providing access to research participants, facilitating school activities, obtaining funding, offering general supervision, or providing administrative assistance does not independently establish authorship.

Teachers, community representatives, research assistants, and institutional personnel who provide valuable support without fulfilling authorship requirements may be acknowledged with appropriate permission.

Participation as a research respondent or interviewee does not itself constitute authorship.

AI tools are not eligible for authorship.

3. Authorship Agreement and Correspondence

Authorship order must be determined fairly through agreement among the contributors.

The corresponding author coordinates manuscript submission, communicates with the editorial office, and ensures that all co-authors are informed about revisions, editorial decisions, and publication requirements.

All authors must approve the submitted manuscript and agree to the stated authorship arrangements.

4. Authorship Changes and Disputes

Any request to change authorship after submission must include a clear justification and written agreement from all affected authors.

EDUCATION may request further information to assess the proposed change. Unresolved disputes concerning scholarly contributions should be addressed by the relevant research institutions.

Changes to authorship after publication may require a formal correction to maintain an accurate scholarly record.

5. Ethical Accountability and Contribution Transparency

Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their contributions and the ethical treatment of research participants.

In studies involving students, children, or vulnerable communities, authors must cooperate in addressing concerns regarding informed consent, confidentiality, and responsible representation of research findings.

Individual contributions must be disclosed in accordance with the journal's CRediT Author Contribution Statement.

Honorary, guest, and ghost authorship are not permitted.

Through this policy, EDUCATION seeks to uphold equitable scholarly recognition, responsible collaboration, and academic integrity in education, social sciences, and humanities.
