Data access and citation: Authors may be requested to provide the raw data relevant to the paper for editorial review. They should also be prepared to provide public access to such data. Data must be cited in the same way as article, book, and web citations and authors are required to include data citations as part of their reference list.
Acknowledgement of sources: The authors should properly acknowledge any work in the manuscript that has been contributed by others.
Declaration and conflicts of interest: All submissions must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest.
Reporting standards: Authors of original research papers should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance.
Human and Animal Rights: For research that includes experiments involving humans, a statement of compliance is required to show that procedures were followed in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national). For research that reports on experiments involving animals, authors are asked to indicate whether the institutional and/or national guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

Journal of Applied Nursing and Health (JANH) in carrying out the publication of articles implements building blocks in the development of a coherent and respectful knowledge network. This is a direct effort of the quality of the author's work and the institutions that support the author. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the right scientific method. Therefore, it is very important to agree on standards of ethical behavior that are expected of all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, journal editors, peer reviewers, publishers, and the public. Chakra Brahmanda Lantern Institute as a journal publisher will carry out the task of maintaining all stages of publishing and is aware of ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprinting, or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions.

Research Misconduct

Research errors such as falsification, citation manipulation, or plagiarism, in writing research reports. When authors are found to be involved in research violations or other serious writing irregularities involving articles that have already been published in scientific journals, editors have a responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the scientific record. In cases of suspected infringement, editors and the Editorial Board will use COPE best practices to assist authors to resolve complaints and deal fairly with violations. This will include an investigation by the editor. Submissions found to contain these errors will be rejected. If there is a case where the published paper is found to contain such errors, it will be revoked and will be linked to the original article.

Step one: Carry out clarification and determine the validity of the allegations and assess whether the allegations are consistent with the definition of research misconduct. It also involves determining whether the individual who alleged the infringement has a relevant conflict of interest regarding the writing and the author or something else.
Second step: If there is a scientific error or there is a deviation from other substantial research, the allegation is informed to the author and other authors and asked to provide a clear and detailed response.
After the author's confirmation is accepted and evaluated, it is followed by further review such as additional information about the involvement of other experts. For cases where there is no possibility of violations, clarifications, additional analysis, or both, it is sufficient to make a notification of corrections and corrections to the published article.
Institutions are expected to take preventive measures such as proper and thorough investigations of suspected scientific violations. Thus, authors, journals, and institutions have the same obligation in preventing violations. With this procedure, it is hoped that the editorial can carry out the necessary actions based on the evaluation results such as revisions and corrections, revocation with replacement, and revocation of articles.
