Authorship and Contributorship

Authorship and Contributorship

Criteria for authorship

Fakta: Jurnal Pendidikan Agama Islam follows the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), adapted to the humanities and social sciences. A person qualifies as an author only if he or she meets all four criteria:

  1. a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the work, or to the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data or sources;
  2. drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
  3. approval of the final version to be published; and
  4. agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work.

Those who contributed but do not meet all four criteria, for example by providing technical help, language editing, or general supervision alone, are named in the Acknowledgements. Gift, guest, and ghost authorship are not permitted. AI tools cannot be authors.

Author contribution statement

Every article includes an author contribution statement in the Declarations section, preferably using the CRediT taxonomy (for example: Conceptualization, Methodology, Investigation, Formal analysis, Writing – original draft, Writing – review and editing). Single-authored articles state that the author carried out all of the work.

Corresponding author

The corresponding author communicates with the journal on behalf of all authors, ensures that all co-authors have approved the submission and the final version, and makes sure that author names, affiliations (institution, city, country), and email addresses are complete and correct. Authors are encouraged to register an ORCID iD.

Changes to authorship

The list and order of authors should be final at submission. Any change before acceptance requires a written request from the corresponding author explaining the reason, together with the signed agreement of all authors, including any author being added or removed. No authors may be added after a manuscript has been accepted. Disputes about authorship are handled according to the COPE guidance.
