Authorship Criteria

Jurnal Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Lampung, follows the authorship guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). An individual qualifies as an author only if they meet all four of the following criteria:

  1. Made substantial contributions to the conception or design of the study, or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data;
  2. Drafted the manuscript or revised it critically for important intellectual content;
  3. Approved the final version to be published; and
  4. Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work, ensuring that questions related to its accuracy or integrity are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Contributors who do not meet the criteria
Individuals who contributed to the work but do not meet all four criteria (e.g., those who provided technical assistance, language editing, data collection only, general supervision, or funding) should be listed in the Acknowledgments section, not as authors.

Corresponding author
The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with Jurnal Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Lampung during submission, review, and publication, and for ensuring that all listed authors have approved the manuscript and agree with its submission.

Order of authors
The order of authorship should be a joint decision of the co-authors and agreed upon before submission.

Changes to authorship
Any addition, removal, or rearrangement of author names after submission must be requested by the corresponding author, accompanied by a written statement signed by all authors explaining the reason for the change. Changes are not permitted after the manuscript has been accepted, except in exceptional circumstances approved by the Editor-in-Chief.

Use of AI tools
Artificial intelligence tools cannot be listed as authors, as they cannot take responsibility for the work. Use of such tools must be disclosed in accordance with the journal’s AI Policy.

Authorship disputes
Disputes regarding authorship will be handled following COPE flowcharts and guidelines. The journal is not responsible for resolving disputes among authors but may halt the review process or retract the article if a dispute cannot be resolved.
