Authorship Criteria

Authorship in AKSELERASI : Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI represents both intellectual contribution and responsibility. Every listed author must meet all of the following criteria:

Make a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the work, or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of its evidence.
Participate in drafting the manuscript or critically revising its intellectual content.
Approve the version submitted for publication and subsequent substantive revisions.
Accept accountability for their contribution and cooperate in resolving questions about the accuracy or integrity of the work.

Contributorship. Contributors who do not meet all authorship criteria should be acknowledged, with their permission. Funding acquisition, administrative supervision, institutional position, or language editing alone does not justify authorship.

Author agreement. Authors must agree on the author list, order, and corresponding author before submission. The corresponding author coordinates communication and ensures that all authors approve the submission.

Changes in authorship. Requests to add, remove, or reorder authors must explain the reasons and include agreement from all affected individuals. Changes require editorial approval. Post-publication changes may require a formal correction.

Unacceptable practices. Gift, guest, purchased, and ghost authorship are prohibited. AI tools cannot qualify as authors.

Unresolved authorship disputes may lead to suspension of processing and referral to the relevant institution. The journal does not determine research contributions solely from an individual’s academic rank.
