JICE   /   JOURNAL GOVERNANCE

Institutional Oversight and Editorial Responsibility

The Journal of Infrastructural in Civil Engineering (JICE) is published within the institutional framework of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia. The journal distinguishes institutional support, editorial decision-making, and technical administration to promote transparent governance, scholarly quality, and publication continuity.

01 Publisher and Institutional Affiliation

JICE is a scholarly journal published by Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia, Indonesia, and organized by the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. The publisher provides the institutional framework for the journal's publishing activities, while the managing unit supports their academic and administrative coordination.

Institutional publishing oversight is distinct from authors' copyright, which is governed by the licensing terms applicable to each published article. The journal's official website is publikasi.teknokrat.ac.id/index.php/jice.

02 Editorial Management

The Editor-in-Chief oversees editorial operations, coordinates the peer-review process, upholds publication standards, responds to ethical concerns, and is responsible for final editorial decisions. Section Editors manage manuscript evaluations within their areas of expertise, while the Editorial Board contributes to scholarly development, quality assurance, and policy oversight. Reviewers provide independent assessments within their fields.

Names, roles, and institutional affiliations are published on the Editorial Team page.

03 Management Responsibilities

These responsibilities are coordinated without transferring editorial decision-making authority to institutional or technical administrators.

04 Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions concerning acceptance, revision, and rejection are based on scholarly merit, originality, methodological rigor, relevance to the journal's scope, and publication ethics. JICE applies double-blind peer review under its current Peer Review Process.

The publisher, university administrators, financial contributors, and other parties must not improperly influence manuscript assessments or publication decisions. Publication fees do not determine editorial acceptance.

Editors must disclose potential conflicts of interest and withdraw from handling a manuscript when impartiality may be compromised. Such manuscripts are assigned to an appropriate editor without the relevant conflict, in accordance with the Conflict of Interest Policy.

05 Journal Administration and Technical Support

JICE manages submissions and electronic publication through Open Journal Systems (OJS). Designated technical personnel provide assistance with the operation and maintenance of the platform.

System security, server-level backups, restoration, electronic archiving, and preservation planning require coordination between the editorial team and authorized institutional technical administrators. Information on preservation and recovery arrangements is reported as those arrangements are verified and documented.

Where DOI registration is handled through university-level publication administration, JICE coordinates the provision and verification of accurate article metadata. See the Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy for related responsibilities.

06 Transparency and Accountability

JICE provides publicly accessible information about its publisher, management, editorial team, peer-review procedures, author guidance, fees, publication schedule, and ethical policies. The editorial team reviews the accuracy of this information and communicates material changes through appropriate journal channels.

Questions about editorial decisions, journal governance, or publication ethics may be directed to the editorial office through the official contact channels listed below.
