Publication Ethics

Journal of Educational Socio Techno and Innovation (JETI)

As a reputable scientific journal published in open access, JETI is firmly committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics. This statement outlines the ethical responsibilities of all parties involved in the publication process—from authors, editorial board members, peer reviewers, to publishers—in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and universal scientific principles.

JETI'S PUBLICATION ETHICS PHILOSOPHY

The publication process of articles in JETI is not merely the transformation of manuscripts into printed works, but a sacred endeavor in building the civilization of knowledge in the fields of education, social sciences, technology, and innovation. Every published article reflects the scientific quality of the author and the moral responsibility of the institution that supports it. We believe that academic integrity is the main foundation that must be upheld by all parties involved in the scientific publishing ecosystem.
