Kanayagan: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat Bidang Seni is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in scholarly publishing. This publication ethics statement is based on the guidelines and best practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

These ethical principles apply to all parties involved in the publication process, including Authors, Editors (Editorial Board), and Reviewers (Peer Reviewers).

• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript is entirely their original work and has not been previously published in any other journal or proceedings. The work and/or words of others must be appropriately acknowledged and cited. All manuscripts will undergo a rigorous plagiarism screening process.
• Multiple or Concurrent Submissions: Authors must not concurrently submit the same manuscript to more than one journal for consideration.
• Data Accuracy: Authors must present their findings and data accurately, without fabrication, falsification, or unethical data manipulation.
• Acknowledgement of Sources: Authors must provide proper acknowledgement to all parties who have significantly contributed to the research. The reference list must include all relevant publications that influenced the reported work.
• Authorship: Authorship must be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All individuals listed as authors must approve the final version of the manuscript and its submission for publication.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors must disclose any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that could be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.
• Fundamental Errors in Published Works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the manuscript.

• Publication Decisions: Editors are fully responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published, ensuring the quality and scholarly relevance of the published work. Editors will consistently consider the scientific validity, originality, and relevance of the manuscript to the journal's focus and scope.
• Fair Play: Editors evaluate manuscripts solely for their intellectual and scientific merit, without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.
• Confidentiality: Editors and the editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
• Conflicts of Interest and Disclosure: Editors must not use unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own research without the express written consent of the authors. Editors must recuse themselves from handling manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest.

• Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editors in making editorial decisions and, through editorial communications with the authors, may also assist authors in improving the quality of their manuscripts.
• Confidentiality: 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.
• Objectivity: Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
• Acknowledgement of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Reviewers who feel unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or know that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and decline the invitation to review.
