Updated 30th December 2022

Rast Müzikoloji Dergisi (Rast Musicology Journal: RMJ) follows and accepts the internationally accepted publishing ethical principles and applies them in all its processes. In particular, the journal team (publisher, editors, reviewers etc), about the accumulation and experiences of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) over the years, participates in discussions, shares and sets good examples in order to educate itself.

RMJ has determined ethic statements based on Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editor, Core Practices and Guidelines. These ethical principles must be followed by all stakeholders of RMJ (publisher, editors, reviewers, authors). RMJ is responsible for constantly updating its ethical principles and publication policies, and all stakeholders are responsible for being aware of and complying with these updated principles and policies.

We can list these principles as follows;

• Makes and implements editorial prevention against variants of Plagiarism containing all scientific definitions.
  

• In addition to the concept of Plagiarism in scientific research, RMJ takes all necessary actions and measures editorially in cases such as theft of any part of a copyrighted musical work in the rate specified in the laws, as well as the concept of Plagiarism in scientific research.

• Requests documents for Ethical Committee Permissions from authors during the article submission process.

• It requests the permission of the music researcher for the use (if necessary) of the musical works used in their research, and a statement that the work has not changed its original form.

• Strictly examines the unethical behaviors of authors such as self-citation during the article pre-review and article review process. Considers the rate of 5% in self-citiation

• Strictly scrutinizes ethical concerns such as "ghost author".

• In the editorial processes, it never takes into account the requirements of the authors to publish their postgraduate thesis and the need to meet the publication conditions for their academic promotions.

• It examines the data in cases that may cause publication concerns, as ensuring the transparency of the authors.

• It asks academics with editorial duties to undertake not to communicate with authors except during article review processes.

• Editorial boards knows that the quality of RMJ is directly related to its commitment to ethical principles.

• The editorial team is aware that their role in RMJ is not a factor to increase their popularity, each member gives their commitment.

• Collaborates with authors' institutions on ethical issues.

• The increase in indexing and the popularity of the journal never changes its strict adherence to the application of ethical principles.

• The authors, editors, referees and members of the editorial board are informed about compliance with ethical principles and commitments are requested.

• The authors, referees, editors and editorial board members do not know about ethical issues as an excuse, and they are dismissed from RMJ.

• All information brought to the literature, practices, models and experiences by COPE must be known and applied by the stakeholders.

• Regarding the hesitation experienced in practices related to ethical problems; Under the chairmanship of the chief editor, the RMJ Ethics Unit (REU), which consists of 4 members of the editorial board and 5 people in total (determined by privacy policy), undertakes the task of consulting. In order to increase the accuracy of its decisions, the REU should seek advice from institutions that work with international ethical issues.

• The concept of double-bilinded peerreview is made a fact by choosing independent and expert reviewers with all its details, it is never left in discourse, it is applied. For this case, the review process reports recorded in the Dergipark Journal System are always available as proof/evidence.

• RMJ fulfills all legal obligations of copyright laws (for Turkish music research in Turkey, in the relevant country where each researcher conducts music research) for the protection of art (music) products, which are inherent in music research, and for art (music) works, open to all its stakeholders, agrees to make transparent and impartial ethical sanctions.

• RMJ cooperates with its sponsors (congress, non-governmental organizations, societies) to contribute to the development of its researcher network and, in particular, to its vision of increasing the visibility and prevalence of Turkish music research around the world. This is never intended for commercial concern in the process.

Now let's explain some of the basics for authors, reviewers and editors.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism the unethical act of copying someone else’s prior ideas, processes, results or words without explicit acknowledgement of the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author utilizes large part of his/her own previously published work without using appropriate references. This can range from getting the same manuscript published in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with some new data.

Types of Plagiarism

Full Plagiarism: Previously published content without any changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered as full plagiarism. It involves presenting exact text from a source as one’s own.

Partial Plagiarism: If content is a mixture from multiple different sources, where the author has extensively rephrased text, then it is known as partial plagiarism.

Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses complete or portions of their pre-published research, then it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.

Measures, Obligations and Responsibilities of RMJ

Rast Musicology Journal (RMJ) is strictly against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism in any form. Plagiarism is said to have occurred when large portions of a manuscript have been copied from existing previously published resources. All manuscripts submitted for publication to RMJ are cross-checked for plagiarism using Turnitin/ iThenticate software.

Procedure

RMJ meticulously requests and checks plagiarism reports from authors for their article submissions (Similarity over 15% is unacceptable). Papers found to be plagiarized during initial stages of review are out-rightly rejected and not considered for publication in the journal. In case a manuscript is found to be plagiarized after publication, the Editor-in-Chief/Managing Editor will conduct preliminary investigation, may be with the help of a suitable committee constituted for the purpose. If the manuscript is found to be plagiarized beyond the acceptable limits, the journal will contact the author’s Affiliation (University, Institute) and Funding Agency, if any. A determination of misconduct will lead RMJ to run a statement bidirectionally linked online to and from the original paper, to note the plagiarism and provide a reference to the plagiarized material. The paper containing the plagiarism will also be marked on each pages. This situation is conveyed to the relevant unit (REU) in a report.

Plagiarism Concern Status: RMJ respects intellectual-artistic property and aims at protecting and promoting original work of its authors. Manuscripts containing plagiarized material are against the standards of quality, research and innovation. Hence, all authors submitting articles to RMJ are expected to abide ethical standards and abstain from plagiarism, in any form.

Author(s) Request for Defense: In case, an author is found to be suspected of plagiarism in a submitted or published manuscript then, RMJ shall contact the author (s) to submit his / her (their) explanation within two weeks, which may be forwarded to the REU constituted for the purpose, for further course of action. If RMJ does not receive any response from the author within the stipulated time period, then the director of authors’ affiliations to which the author is affiliated shall be contacted to take strict action against the concerned author.

Ethics Unit Report Preparation: REU prepares a report containing the opinions and evidences of the plagiarism case by taking the defenses of the authors. He gives this report to the chief-managing editor.

Article Related Sanction: RMJ shall take serious action against published manuscripts found to contain plagiarism and shall completely remove them from RMJ journal website (https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/rastmd) and other third party websites where the paper is listed and indexed. The moment, any article published in RMJ database is reported to be plagiarized, RMJ will constitute a REU to investigate the same. Upon having established that the manuscript is plagiarized from some previously published work, RMJ shall support the original author and manuscript irrespective of the publisher and may take any or all of the following immediate actions or follow the additional course of actions as recommended by the committee:

RMJ shall remove the PDF copy of the published manuscript from the website (https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/rastmd) and disable all links to full text article. The term Plagiarized Manuscript shall be appended to the published manuscript title. RMJ shall disable the author account with the journal and reject all future submissions from the author for a period of 3 years or even ban the authors permanently.
