Publication Ethics

The Aceh Journal of Computer Science, called ILKA Journal, is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and taking all possible measures against publication malpractice. The Editorial Board is responsible, among other things, for preventing publication malpractice. Unethical behavior is unacceptable, and ILKA does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. Authors submitting an article: affirm that the contents of the manuscript are original. Furthermore, the author's submission also implies that the manuscript has not been published previously in any language, either in whole or in part, and is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Editors, authors, and reviewers, in the International Journal of Advances in Intelligent Informatics, must be fully committed to good publication practice and accept responsibility for fulfilling the following duties and responsibilities, as set out by the COPE Code of Ethics for Journal Editors. As part of the Core Practices, COPE has written guidelines on http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines.

  • The review process is double-blind.
  • Factors considered in the review include relevance, soundness, significance, originality, readability, and language.
  • Possible decisions include acceptance, acceptance with revision, or rejection.
  • While authors are encouraged to revise and resubmit a submission, there is no guarantee that the revised submission will be accepted.
  • Rejected articles will not be reviewed again.
