Authorship Criteria

Authorship Criteria

Jurnal TEKNIKA recognizes authorship as an important academic responsibility. Authorship should be granted only to individuals who have made substantial intellectual contributions to the research and manuscript. All listed authors must take responsibility for their contributions and agree to the final version of the manuscript submitted for publication.

1. Criteria for Authorship

To qualify as an author of a manuscript submitted to TEKNIKA, an individual should meet the following criteria:

1. Make substantial contributions to the conception or design of the research, or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of research data.
2. Participate in drafting the manuscript or critically revising it for important intellectual content.
3. Approve the final version of the manuscript before submission or publication.
4. Agree to be accountable for the accuracy and integrity of the work and to help address questions concerning any part of the research.

2. Responsibilities of Authors

All authors are responsible for ensuring that the submitted manuscript represents original research and that the information presented is accurate and reliable. Authors are expected to:

• Ensure that all listed authors meet the journal's authorship criteria.
• Confirm that all authors have reviewed and approved the submitted manuscript.
• Ensure that the manuscript is not simultaneously submitted to another journal.
• Disclose relevant conflicts of interest and funding information.
• Cooperate with the editorial team during the review, revision, and publication processes.
• Take responsibility for the integrity of the research and the content of the published article.

3. Corresponding Author

The corresponding author is responsible for managing communication between the authors and the editorial office of TEKNIKA throughout the submission, peer-review, revision, and publication processes.

The corresponding author is expected to:

• Ensure that all co-authors have approved the manuscript and agreed to its submission.
• Provide accurate author names, affiliations, and contact information.
• Communicate editorial decisions and reviewer comments to all co-authors.
• Coordinate manuscript revisions and obtain approval from all authors before resubmission.
• Respond to editorial queries and provide additional information when required.

4. Author Contributions

TEKNIKA encourages authors to provide a clear statement describing the individual contributions of each author. For manuscripts with multiple authors, contributions should be described using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), where applicable.

5. Changes in Authorship

Any request to add, remove, or rearrange authors after manuscript submission must be communicated to the editorial team by the corresponding author. Such requests should include a clear explanation and written agreement from all authors involved, including those being added or removed.

Changes in authorship are subject to editorial review and approval. The editorial team may request additional documentation to ensure that the proposed changes are justified and agreed upon by all relevant authors.

6. Non-Author Contributions

Individuals who have contributed to the research but do not meet the authorship criteria should not be listed as authors. Their contributions may instead be acknowledged in the Acknowledgments section of the manuscript, with their permission where appropriate.

Examples may include administrative assistance, technical support, language editing, or general supervision that does not meet the authorship criteria.

7. Authorship Disputes and Misconduct

Any concerns or disputes regarding authorship should be reported to the editorial team. TEKNIKA may request supporting documentation or clarification from the authors and their affiliated institutions when necessary.

Practices such as gift authorship, ghost authorship, and the inclusion or omission of authors without appropriate justification are considered inconsistent with responsible publication practices.
