Alburuj: Journal of Education and Islamic Science is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and academic integrity. This statement outlines the ethical behavior expected of all parties involved in the publishing process: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher, based on the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Best Practice Guidelines.

Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original. Plagiarism in any form including self-plagiarism, unauthorized copying, or paraphrasing without proper citation is strictly unacceptable. All manuscripts undergo a plagiarism check (Turnitin/iThenticate) with a maximum allowed similarity index of 20%.

Authors of empirical research must present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data must be represented accurately in the manuscript.

Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently. Submitting the same paper to multiple journals is considered unethical behavior.

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. All co-authors must approve the final version of the paper and agree to its submission.

Authors must disclose any financial or personal conflicts of interest that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support must be acknowledged.

The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for deciding which of the submitted articles should be published. The decision is based on the validation of the work, its importance to researchers and readers, the reviewers' comments, and compliance with legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Editors evaluate manuscripts exclusively on their academic merit, intellectual content, and relevance to the journal’s scope, without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, and the publisher.

Editors will not use unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own research without the explicit written consent of the author.

Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and helps authors improve their manuscripts through constructive scholarly feedback.

Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor immediately and decline the invitation.

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments and literature references.

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors and report any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper.

In cases of alleged or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism, the publisher, in close collaboration with the editors, will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation and amend the article in question. This includes the prompt publication of an erratum, clarification, or, in the most severe cases, the retraction of the affected work.

The publisher is committed to the permanent availability and preservation of scholarly research, maintaining open access to all published articles.
