1. General Principles

Jambura Elementary Education Journal is committed to ensuring that authorship accurately reflects the intellectual contributions and responsibilities of individuals involved in scholarly research.

All individuals listed as authors must have made substantial contributions to the research and must be accountable for the integrity and accuracy of the published work.

The journal follows internationally recognized authorship principles, including the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

2. Criteria for Authorship

To qualify for authorship, an individual must meet all four of the following criteria:

1. Substantial Contribution: Made a significant contribution to the conception or design of the research, or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of research data or results.

2. Manuscript Preparation: Participated in drafting the manuscript or critically revising it for important intellectual content.

3. Final Approval: Reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript for publication.

4. Accountability: Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work and to cooperate in resolving questions concerning its accuracy or integrity.

Individuals who do not meet all four criteria should be acknowledged as contributors rather than listed as authors.
