Allegation of Research Misconduct

Andragogi: Jurnal Ilmiah Pendidikan Agama Islam is fully committed to upholding publication ethics and will take firm action against any form of research misconduct. This includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, AI-generated content, duplicate submission, citation manipulation, data fabrication and falsification, improper author contribution or attribution, and redundant publications.

1. Plagiarism
The journal only considers original material that has not been published elsewhere and is not currently under review by another journal. If a manuscript is found to contain plagiarized content from other authors, whether published or unpublished, the journal will impose plagiarism sanctions in accordance with established ethical guidelines.

2. AI-Generated Content
The use of generative AI tools must comply with the journal’s AI Policy. Authors are required to disclose any use of AI tools in the Methods or Acknowledgements section and to include the appropriate AI declaration in their manuscript. For detailed guidelines and the required declarations, please refer to the AI Policy.

3. Duplicate Submission
Manuscripts that have been published elsewhere or are currently under review by another journal will be subject to duplicate submission or publication sanctions. If authors draw upon their own previously published or under-review work as the basis for a new submission, they must cite the prior work and clearly explain how the new manuscript offers novel contributions beyond the earlier one.

4. Citation Manipulation
Manuscripts containing citations whose primary purpose is to artificially increase the citation count of a particular author or journal will be subject to citation manipulation sanctions.

Manuscripts that are found to have fabricated or falsified research results, including the manipulation of images, will be subject to data fabrication and falsification sanctions.

Every listed author must have made a meaningful research contribution to the manuscript and must have approved all of its claims. All individuals who contributed significantly to the research, including students and research assistants, should be appropriately credited.
