This statement clarifies the ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing a manuscript in the Informatics and Computer Engineering Journal, which is managed by the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) Bina Sarana Informatics University, including the authors, editors, and reviewers.

This statement is based on COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

1. Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The publication of a manuscript is very important to note regarding its ethics, this is also included in the Informatics Journal.

Thus, a coherent and respected knowledge network needs to be carried out in the Journal publication Ethics Guidelines. This is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the supporting institutions. Manuscripts in the Informatics Journal are peer-reviewed to support and realize the scientific method. It is then important to agree on the expected standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing, namely the authors, journal editors, reviewers, publishers and the public.

Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) Bina Sarana Informatics University as the publisher of the Informatics and Computer Engineering Journal takes its guardianship duties beyond all publishing stages very seriously and we carry it out with ethics and other responsibilities. Bina Sarana Informatics University is committed to ensuring that broadcasting, reprinting or other commercial income does not have an impact or influence on editorial decisions.

2. Publication Decisions

Prior to online publication for the Informatics and Computer Engineering Journal, the Chief Editor who is responsible for publishing seeks input from other Editors and supports suggestions from reviewers. Where, it is also based on a series of journal publications starting from submitting manuscripts, checking editors, checking reviewers, checking layouts, checking plagiarism and copyright. This is under the supervision of the Chief Editor and other Editors with authority, resulting in a publication decision for the manuscript in the Informatics and Computer Engineering Journal.

3. Non-Discrimination
