Ethical Oversight Policy

Cendekia: Jurnal Kependidikan dan Kemasyarakatan expects all research published in the journal to comply with applicable ethical standards and relevant institutional and national regulations.

Authors conducting research involving human participants must ensure that participation is voluntary, that informed consent is obtained where required, and that participants’ privacy, confidentiality, dignity, and welfare are protected. Research involving children, vulnerable populations, or sensitive personal information requires particular care and appropriate safeguards.

Where applicable, authors must provide information about approval from a research ethics committee or institutional review board. If formal ethical approval was not required or was unavailable, authors should explain the circumstances and demonstrate that the research was conducted responsibly. The journal may request supporting documentation.

Authors must obtain permission to publish identifiable information, images, or other materials when required. Research involving animals must comply with applicable ethical and legal requirements.

The editorial team may request clarification or supporting evidence when ethical concerns arise. Manuscripts may be rejected, and published articles may be corrected or retracted, when serious ethical violations are established.

The journal will handle ethical concerns in accordance with relevant professional guidance and applicable regulations.
