Conflict On Interest

Conflict of Interest Policy

KLAUSULA: Jurnal Hukum Tata Negara, Hukum Administrasi, Pidana dan Perdata

KLAUSULA requires authors, editors, and reviewers to disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest that could influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, the submission, review, editorial decision, or publication of a manuscript.

Authors

Authors must disclose financial, professional, institutional, personal, legal, or other relationships that may affect the interpretation of their work or be perceived to influence the research and its presentation.

Reviewers

Reviewers must decline assignments when relationships with authors, institutions, research topics, legal disputes, or other interests may compromise independence. Unpublished information obtained through review must not be used for personal advantage.

Editors

Editors must not handle manuscripts when personal, professional, financial, academic, or institutional relationships could compromise neutrality. Such manuscripts should be reassigned to another qualified editor.

Editor–Reviewer Overlap

Where a member of the editorial team also serves as a reviewer, that person must not review a manuscript for which they have editorial responsibility and must not influence the editorial decision on that manuscript.

Disclosure and Management

  1. Conflicts should be disclosed as early as possible.
  2. The editorial office may request additional information when necessary.
  3. The manuscript may be reassigned or an alternative reviewer appointed.
  4. Relevant disclosures may be published with the article for transparency.
  5. Failure to disclose a material conflict may result in corrective editorial action.

Principle of Independence

A disclosed relationship does not automatically disqualify a manuscript or contributor. The journal will assess whether the relationship could reasonably compromise independence and will apply appropriate safeguards.
