Section A: Publication and authorship 

All submitted papers are subject to a strict peer-review process by at least two International Reviewers that are experts in the area of the particular paper.
Review processes are blind peer review.
The factors taken into account in the review are relevance, soundness, significance, originality, readability, and language.

Rejected articles will not be re-reviewed.
The paper acceptance is constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
No research can be included in more than one publication. 

Section B: Authors responsibilities

Authors must certify that the manuscript has not previously been published elsewhere.
Authors must certify that the manuscript is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere. 
Authors must participate in the peer-review process. 
Authors are obliged to provide retractions or corrections of mistakes.
All Authors mentioned in the paper must have significantly contributed to the research.
The authors must state that all data in the paper are real and authentic.
The authors must notify the Editors of any conflicts of interest.
The authors must identify all sources used in the creation of their manuscript.
Authors must report any errors they discover in their published paper to the Editors. 

Section C: Reviewers responsibilities

Reviewers should keep all information regarding papers confidential and treat them as privileged information.

Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors.
Reviewers should also call to the Editor in Chief's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Reviewers should not review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Editors should not reject papers based on suspicions; they should have proof of misconduct.
Editors should not allow any conflicts of interest between staff, authors, reviewers, and board members.

Retraction

The papers published in the Journal of the Indonesian Mathematical Society (JIMS) will be considered to retract in the publication if:

They have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g. data fabrication) or honest error (e.g. miscalculation or experimental error).
The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross-referencing and permission or justification (i.e. cases of redundant publication).
It constitutes plagiarism.
It reports unethical research.
