Research Misconduct Policy

Jurnal Pesastra does not tolerate research or publication misconduct. Misconduct includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, duplicate or redundant publication, simultaneous submission, improper authorship, undisclosed conflicts of interest, citation manipulation, and the use of artificial intelligence in a manner that misrepresents authorship, evidence, or research findings.

Any allegation of misconduct will be handled confidentially and fairly by the editorial team. The journal may request clarification, supporting documents, revisions, or a response from the authors and, where appropriate, may consult the authors’ institution or another relevant authority. If misconduct is confirmed, the journal may reject the manuscript, publish a correction, issue an expression of concern, retract an article, or take another proportionate editorial action.
