Authorship and Contributorship

Authorship Details

Authorship is reserved for individuals who have made substantial and meaningful contributions to a manuscript. These contributions must go beyond routine or administrative tasks and involve intellectual input at various stages of the research process. To be listed as an author, one must meet all of the following conditions: (1) significantly contributed to the study’s conception or design, data acquisition, analysis, or interpretation; (2) participated actively in drafting the manuscript, providing substantial revisions, or critically reviewing it for important intellectual content; (3) approved the final version of the manuscript for submission and publication; and (4) agreed to be accountable for the integrity of the entire work, including resolving any questions related to its accuracy or ethical conduct.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that every listed co-author fulfills these criteria and that no inappropriate authors are included. All co-authors must have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript and have agreed to its submission. Requests to add, remove, or reorder authors are discouraged after submission and will only be considered under special circumstances. In such cases, the corresponding author must provide a detailed justification and written consent from all affected authors. Once a manuscript is accepted, changes in authorship are subject to editorial approval and may be declined if appropriate documentation is not provided. If a change is required post-publication, it will be handled through a formal correction notice.

Contribution Details

To enhance transparency in scholarly publishing, Jurnal Integrasi dan Harmoni Inovatif Ilmu-Ilmu Sosial encourages authors to clearly outline the specific contributions made by each co-author. This should be done using the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) framework, which provides standardized terms for different roles such as conceptualization, methodology, software development, validation, formal analysis, investigation, data curation, writing-original draft, writing-review and editing, visualization, supervision, project administration, and funding acquisition. Each author’s name should be followed by the roles they performed, and this contribution statement will appear alongside the published article. At least one author should serve as the guarantor who accepts full responsibility for the integrity of the work from start to finish.

Individuals who contributed to the research but do not meet the criteria for authorship should be acknowledged in a dedicated Acknowledgments section. Such contributions may include technical assistance, administrative support, general supervision, language editing, or scholarly discussion. Their full name and affiliation should be included where appropriate, and authors are responsible for notifying them and obtaining their consent to be acknowledged. If groups or institutions contributed to the study in a collective capacity, their role should be briefly described.

Any assistance from AI-based tools, including large language models used for drafting, editing, language improvement, or other aspects of manuscript preparation, must be explicitly disclosed in the manuscript. AI tools cannot be listed as authors because they cannot take responsibility or accountability for the work. The human authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, integrity, and ethical compliance of all submitted content.
