PUBLICATION ETHICS

EDITORIAL PRINCIPLE

INSPIREE: Indonesian Sport Innovation Review is a scholarly journal that aspires to establish itself as a preeminent peer-reviewed platform and a definitive source of information. We disseminate original research manuscripts, review articles, and case studies that concentrate on sports globally, as well as pertinent topics that have not been previously published in any language nor are currently undergoing review for publication elsewhere. The journal adheres to the ethical standards outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the recommendations provided by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Additional information regarding the Core Practices can be found on the COPE and ICMJE websites. Allegations of misconduct will be investigated in accordance with the COPE Best Practice Guidelines as far as is practicable. 
The subsequent statement elucidates the ethical conduct expected of all entities engaged in the publication process of an article in this journal, which encompasses the editor, the reviewer, and the author.

Ethical Principles and Duties of an Editors:

We strongly advocate for journal editors to adhere to the COPE Code of Conduct for Journal Editors and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations.

• Publication Decisions: Based on the review report of the editorial board, the editor can accept, reject, or request modifications to the manuscript. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision. Editors have to take responsibility for everything they publish and should have procedures and policies in place to ensure the quality of the material they publish and maintain the integrity of the published record.
• Review of Manuscripts: Editor must ensure that each manuscript is initially evaluated by the editor for originality. The editor should organize and use peer review fairly and wisely. Editors should explain their peer review processes in the information for authors and also indicate which parts of the journal are peer reviewed. The Editor should use appropriate peer reviewers for papers that are considered for publication by selecting people with sufficient expertise and avoiding those with conflicts of interest.
• Fair Play: The editor must ensure that each manuscript received by the journal is reviewed for its intellectual content without regard to sex, gender, race, religion, citizenship, etc. of the authors. An important part of the responsibility to make fair and unbiased decisions is the upholding of the principle of editorial independence and integrity. Editors are in a powerful position by making decisions on publications, which makes it very important that this process is as fair and unbiased as possible.
• Confidentiality: The editor must ensure that information regarding manuscripts submitted by the authors is kept confidential. Editors should critically assess any potential breaches of data protection and patient confidentiality. This includes requiring properly informed consent for the actual research presented, consent for publication where applicable.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: The editor of the Journal will not use unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript for his own research without written consent of the author. Editors should not be involved in decisions about papers in which they have a conflict of interest

Reviewer’s Ethical Principles and Duties:

We firmly endorse the necessity for journal reviewers to comply with the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers as appropriate.

• Confidentiality: Information regarding manuscripts submitted by authors should be kept confidential and be treated as privileged information. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
• Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers must ensure that authors have acknowledged all sources of data used in the research. 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. The reviewers should notify the journal immediately if they come across any irregularities, have concerns about ethical aspects of the work, are aware of substantial similarity between the manuscript and a concurrent submission to another journal or a published article, or suspect that misconduct may have occurred during either the research or the writing and submission of the manuscript; reviewers should, however, keep their concerns confidential and not personally investigate further unless the journal asks for further information or advice.
• Standards of Objectivity: Review of submitted manuscripts must be done objectively and the reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments. The reviewers should follow journals’ instructions on the specific feedback that is required of them and unless there are good reasons not to. The reviewers should be constructive in their reviews and provide feedback that will help the authors to improve their manuscript. The reviewer should make clear which suggested additional investigations are essential to support claims made in the manuscript under consideration and which will just strengthen or extend the work
• Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider 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. In the case of the double-blind review, if they suspect the identity of the author(s) notify the journal if this knowledge raises any potential conflict of interest.
• Promptness: The reviewers should respond in a reasonable time-frame. The reviewers only agree to review a manuscript if they are fairly confident they can return a review within the proposed or mutually agreed time-frame, informing the journal promptly if they require an extension. In the event that a reviewer feels it is not possible for him/her to complete review of the manuscript within stipulated time then this information must be communicated to the editor so that the manuscript could be sent to another reviewer.

Author-Guiding Principles:

• Reporting Standards: Authors should present an accurate account of the original research performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Researchers should present their results honestly and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation. A manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Manuscripts should follow the submission guidelines of the journal.
• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original work. The manuscript should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced. The primary literature should be cited where possible. Original wording taken directly from publications by other researchers should appear in quotation marks with the appropriate citations.
• Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publications: The Author should not in general submit the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently. It is also expected that the author will not publish redundant manuscripts or manuscripts describing same research in more than one journal. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Multiple publications arising from a single research project should be clearly identified as such and the primary publication should be referenced
  Acknowledgment of Sources: Authors should acknowledge all sources of data used in the research and cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given.
• Authorship of the Paper: The authorship of research publications should accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting. Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to conception, design, execution or interpretation of the reported study. Others who have made the significant contribution must be listed as co-authors. In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgment section. Authors also ensure that all the authors have seen and agreed to the submitted version of the manuscript and their inclusion of names as co-authors.
• Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should clearly disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
• Fundamental Errors in Published Works: If the author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in the submitted manuscript, then the author should promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

AUTHORSHIP & CONTRIBUTORSHIP

This policy guarantees that individuals who have made significant intellectual contributions to a manuscript receive appropriate recognition, and that contributors comprehend their responsibilities and accountability regarding the published content. The INSPIREE Journal recognizes and enumerates contributors in three distinct manners:

• Authorship – we present a list of authors at the commencement of the manuscript in a byline )Authors’ Contribution: A – Study design; B – Data collection; C – Statistical analysis; D – Manuscript Preparation; E – Funds Collection). 
• Contributions – we provide a statement of contributions at the conclusion of the manuscript, elucidating the specific roles undertaken by each individual in the planning, execution, and reporting of the work. This statement will encompass all author contributors and may also incorporate non-author contributors.
• Acknowledgements at the conclusion of the manuscript – We additionally include a statement of acknowledgements at the end of the manuscript, specifying those who assisted in the research process but have not been recognized as contributors, and expressing personal gratitude.

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made substantial contributions should be listed as co-authors.

If others have contributed to the paper in any substantive way, they should be acknowledged in the acknowledgements section.

The corresponding author is the singular individual who bears primary responsibility for communication with the journal throughout the processes of manuscript submission, peer review, and publication. The corresponding author typically ensures that all administrative obligations of the journal, including the provision of authorship information, ethics committee approval, documentation of clinical trial registration, and disclosure of relationships and activities, are fulfilled and accurately reported, though these responsibilities may be delegated to one or more co-authors. The corresponding author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included in the manuscript while excluding any inappropriate co-authors, and that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript and have consented to its submission for publication.

The authors are collectively responsible for the work. Each author is responsible for ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

COMPLAINTS & APPEALS

This procedure is applicable to grievances pertaining to content, procedures, or policies for which the editorial staff of INSPIREE Journal bear responsibility. Complaints possess the potential to serve as a catalyst for enhancement; thus, we endeavor to respond in a prompt, courteous, and constructive manner. The procedure delineated below aspires to ensure fairness for both the complainant and the entity against whom the complaint is lodged. Grievances should be submitted via email directly to complaints@inspiree.review and will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. Complaints directed to INSPIREE Journal are managed by the complaints team, with each individual grievance being addressed by the most suitably qualified staff member, allowing for escalation should resolution not be achievable. All complaints shall receive formal acknowledgment within three business days. Whenever feasible, a comprehensive response will be rendered within a period of two weeks. If such a response is not attainable, an interim reply will be provided within the same timeframe. Additional interim responses will continue to be issued until the grievance is satisfactorily resolved

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

All authors are obligated to disclose within their manuscript any financial and personal affiliations with individuals or organizations that could be perceived as potentially exerting undue influence (bias) on their scholarly work.

All avenues of financial support pertaining to the execution of the research and/or the formulation of the article must be disclosed, along with the involvement of the sponsor(s), if applicable, in study design; in the gathering, analysis, and interpretation of data; in the composition of the report; and in the determination to submit the article for publication. Should the funding source(s) possess no such involvement, this fact should be explicitly stated.

Illustrations of potential conflicts of interest that must be disclosed encompass employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, compensated expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other financial assistance. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest feasible opportunity

DATA & REPRODUCIBILITY

The journal’s data sharing policy ardently advocates for the prompt availability of the data generated by your research, which substantiates your article, as soon as it is feasible. We strongly urge you to disclose as much of the fundamental data from your article as is practicable (without infringing upon the privacy of participants), though at a minimum, the essential data required to replicate the results articulated in the accompanying article. While data sharing is not obligatory within our journal, we retain the prerogative to solicit confidential access at any juncture to any primary data necessary for the reproduction of the article, thereby allowing for the verification of the reported results. The journal encourages authors to reference publicly accessible research data within their reference lists. Citations to datasets must encompass persistent identifiers. We advocate for research data to be released under an open license that facilitates unrestricted reuse.

ETHICAL OVERSIGHT

The Editorial Board operates in alignment with the tenets set forth in the Declaration of Helsinki and mandates strict compliance with these principles in all research involving human participants.

Human-subjects Reasearch

As a publication that has articulated its adherence to the Recommendations set forth by the ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors), the INSPIREE Journal ardently endorses the policy concerning the Protection of Research Participants.

Authors of papers addressing human subjects research must also ensure that the study reported in their submission, as well as the publishing of their manuscript, complies with all applicable regulations in their locality.

Prior to paper submission, authors of manuscripts detailing research involving human subjects must get evaluation and approval (or review and waiver) from their Institutional Review Board (IRB). Authors of multisite research articles must receive permission from each institution's IRB. Upon request, documentation of IRB status must be made accessible. If no institutional review boards or committees exist, the authors must conduct their study in line with the Declaration of Helsinki, as updated in 2013. The Materials and Methods section must include a declaration of IRB approval or waiver (and the explanation for the waiver) or a statement of adherence to the Declaration of Helsinki (or at the end of the text for shorter article types: e.g., announcements, short form papers, etc.).

Informed consent for publication is not needed if the patient cannot be identified from any material in a manuscript. Identifiable characteristics such as patient initials, precise dates, specific geographic exposures, or other identifying elements (including bodily features in figures) should be deleted in the absence of informed permission, but this must not change the scientific meaning. Important information important to the scientific meaning should be expressed in such a way that the patient cannot be recognized, for example, by specifying a season rather than a date or a location rather than a city. If a patient may be recognized from a manuscript's content, every attempt should be taken to get informed consent to publish from patients or their parents/legal guardians if the patient is a minor. In order to give informed consent, the patient must be able to read the manuscript before it is submitted. Either that the patient has examined the entire text or that the patient refuses to do so must be included in the signed consent. The authors should keep a copy of the patient's permission and make it available upon request. The published paper should include a statement attesting to the receipt and preservation of signed patient permission.

Plagiarism Policy

The Editorial Board of the journal regards any form of plagiarism in submitted articles as absolutely impermissible. Plagiarism is defined as the unauthorized publication, whether in written or electronic format, of research findings that have been obtained and disseminated by others, misrepresented as the author’s original contributions, or the reproduction of text previously published by others without appropriate attribution.

The articles must not include:

• Material that has been copied or published by other scholars, presented as though it constitutes the author’s original discoveries.
• Verbatim repetition of excerpts from any text (ranging from a single phrase to multiple sentences) without the necessary formatting for quotations.
• Minimally altered copied content (such as rephrased sentences, variations in word order, etc.) lacking the requisite quotation/reference formatting.
• The thoughts, ideas, or texts of others expressed in the author’s own language without the provision of appropriate references to the original sources.

Before going to review process, all manuscripts will be checked that they are free from plagiarism practice using "iThenticate". If there are indications of plagiarism of more than 20%, the manuscript will instantly be rejected.     When plagiarism is identified by the Plagiarism Checker  software,  the Editorial Board responsible for the review of this paper and will agree on measures according to the extent of plagiarism detected in the article in agreement with the following guidelines:

POST-PUBLICATION DISCUSSION & CORRECTIONS

| Post date: December 27, 2024 |

INSPIREE Journal follows the ICMJE and COPE recommendations on Corrections, Retractions, Republishing and Version Control and the Editor-in-Chief of the journal is solely responsible for the content and record of the journal and is the final authority to make decisions on the retraction policy.

Corrections for Accepted Papers

INSPIREE does not allow major or substantial changes to be made to manuscripts after they have been accepted. We expect authors to make substantial changes to their work at the revision stage, before acceptance.

Corrections to Published Work

Unintentional inaccuracies constitute a fundamental aspect of the domains of science and publishing, necessitating the issuance of corrections upon their detection. We anticipate that authors will inform the journal’s Production Editor (whose contact details can be found in the Contact Us section of the journal's website) regarding any factual inaccuracies they identify (or become cognizant of) in their manuscript subsequent to its publication. The implementation of corrections will be executed at the journal’s discretion. As a publisher, it is our obligation to maintain the integrity of the scientific record. Therefore, minor modifications that do not alter the scientific comprehension of the manuscript (such as formatting, typographic inaccuracies, or preferences in wording) may be declined if submitted after publication, in order to obviate any potential discrepancies in the future. The procedure for corrections is contingent upon:

1. The current stage of publication of the manuscript;  in all scenarios, a correction notice shall be disseminated at the earliest possible opportunity. 

2. First Online Publication: The First Online (or ‘published before print’) iteration is regarded as the definitive version of record and does not serve as a venue for alterations prior to print publication. INSPIREE will entertain the prospect of substituting this version with an updated iteration that rectifies the inaccuracies and delineates the modifications made along with the date of such changes (in a correction notice appended to the article). Previous electronic versions of articles will explicitly indicate the availability of a newer version. Correction notices will be preserved in the printed edition for archival purposes.

3. Publication in an issue: In the event that the article has already been published in an issue, the correction notice will be included in the subsequent available printed issue. The online version of the article will provide a hyperlink to the correction notice, and vice versa.

4. Should an inaccuracy be identified in an article published within a particular issue, INSPIREE may, at the editor's discretion, contemplate rectifying the actual article online (in both XML and PDF formats). A correction notice will be appended to the conclusion of the article to elucidate the changes instituted since the initial publication, and the errata will be disseminated.

Retractions

Violations of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submission, false claims of authorship, all types of plagiarism, fabricated data usage, or any other ethical issue in an article, may result in retraction. On occasion, a retraction is used to correct errors in submission or publication. The original article is retained unmodified, but a watermark will be included on all pages of the article PDF to indicate that the article has been retracted. The retraction will be communicated to the corresponding author by email, accompanied by a comprehensive explanation and the rationale for the decision to retract the article. In the event that the explanations provided are deemed unsatisfactory by the editors or the corresponding author accepts the retraction, the article will be formally retracted.For further details, please refer to the COPE's Retraction Guidelines.

Withdrawal of Articles

The INSPIREE Journal is committed to upholding the principles of research integrity and maintaining the integrity and completeness of its published studies. The authority of these studies is of paramount importance, and as such, the content of published articles must be safeguarded to the greatest extent possible. In exceptional circumstances, the journal may be compelled to remove a published article from its online platform. This will only occur in the event that the article is found to be defamatory, or that it infringes upon the legal rights of another party, or if the article is, or there is reasonable cause to believe that it will be, the subject of a court order, or if the article, if acted upon, may pose a serious health risk. In such circumstances, while the metadata (i.e. title and author information) of the article will be retained, the text will be replaced with a screen indicating that the article has been removed for legal or other unavoidable reasons.Withdrawn means that the article content (HTML and PDF) is removed and replaced with an HTML page and PDF simply stating that the article has been withdrawn according to the journal's policy. It is incumbent upon authors to submit a request to the editorial office in the form of a letter signed by all authors stating the full reasons for the manuscript withdrawal.
In cases where the manuscript has taken more than six months for the review process, the publisher allows authors to withdraw the manuscript without paying any fees.
In instances where a manuscript remains under peer review, the author is obligated to remit a withdrawal fee of $25.00 per manuscript.Conversely, if a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author is required to pay a publication fee of $50.00 per manuscript. withdrawal fine;
In the event that the author does not agree to pay the fine, the author and their affiliates will be blacklisted from publishing in this journal;
Authors should not assume that their manuscript has been withdrawn until they receive appropriate notification to this effect from the editorial office.
