Jurnal Multidisiplin Dehasen (MUDE)

e-ISSN 2828-1799

Policy Statement

Jurnal Multidisiplin Dehasen (MUDE) requires research to be conducted and reported in accordance with appropriate ethical, legal, professional, and disciplinary standards. Ethical requirements may differ across disciplines; therefore, authors must identify and comply with the requirements applicable to their study design, participants, data, materials, and institutional context.

Research Involving Human Participants

Research involving human participants should obtain appropriate ethical review or approval when required by applicable institutional, national, professional, or disciplinary standards.

• Authors should identify the approving ethics committee or institutional review body when applicable.
• The ethics approval number or reference should be reported where one has been issued.
• Informed consent should be obtained when required.
• The rights, dignity, safety, privacy, and welfare of participants must be protected.

Informed Consent

Authors must obtain informed consent when appropriate for participation in research and for publication of identifiable personal information, photographs, recordings, case details, or other materials that may reveal a participant's identity.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Personal information should be collected, stored, analysed, shared, and published responsibly. Identifying information should not be disclosed unless scientifically necessary and ethically justified.

Research Involving Animals

Studies involving animals must comply with applicable animal-welfare standards, institutional requirements, and relevant legal or professional guidance. Authors should report ethical approval or institutional authorisation where required and describe measures taken to minimise unnecessary harm or suffering.

Community-Based and Field Research

Research involving communities, schools, organisations, traditional knowledge, indigenous or local knowledge, or field-based participation should respect community rights, cultural values, permissions, informed participation, privacy, and appropriate benefit-sharing or acknowledgement where relevant.

Research Data and Sensitive Information

Authors must manage research data responsibly and ensure that data-sharing practices do not violate informed consent, privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property, legal restrictions, or legitimate security requirements. Data availability statements should explain access conditions where relevant.

Studies Not Requiring Formal Ethical Approval

Where formal ethical approval is not required because of the nature of the research, authors should state this transparently when the issue is relevant. The absence of a formal review requirement does not remove the author's responsibility to conduct research ethically.

Editorial Verification

Editors may request supporting documentation concerning ethics approval, informed consent, institutional permissions, participant protection, research protocols, or other ethical matters when necessary.

A manuscript may be suspended, rejected, corrected, or otherwise reviewed when credible concerns arise regarding ethical compliance or participant protection.

Post-Publication Ethical Concerns

Credible concerns raised after publication will be evaluated under the journal's Research Misconduct and Corrections, Retractions & Withdrawal policies. Where necessary, the journal may seek clarification from authors, institutions, ethics committees, or other appropriate authorities.
