TRANSPARENT FUNDING • INDEPENDENT EDITORIAL DECISIONS

Policy Statement

Jurnal Multidisiplin Dehasen (MUDE) is committed to transparency regarding the financial and institutional resources used to support journal publication.

Funding arrangements must not interfere with editorial independence, peer-review integrity, manuscript acceptance or rejection, reviewer selection, research interpretation, or the accuracy of the scholarly record.

Journal Funding

MUDE is institutionally supported within Universitas Dehasen Bengkulu. Journal publishing activities may also be supported by Article Processing Charges collected in accordance with the journal's publicly stated Author Fees / APC Policy.

Current Funding Model

Journal operations are supported through institutional publishing resources and legitimate publication-service funding. Any Article Processing Charge is requested only after formal manuscript acceptance and is separated from scientific evaluation and editorial decision-making.

Use of Journal Funding

Financial resources supporting MUDE may be used for legitimate scholarly publishing activities, including:

  • OJS administration and journal hosting;
  • website maintenance and technical infrastructure;
  • editorial administration and quality control;
  • similarity checking;
  • copyediting and proofreading;
  • article layout and production;
  • DOI registration and metadata management;
  • digital preservation and archiving;
  • indexing and metadata dissemination; and
  • other legitimate scholarly publishing and journal-development activities.

Editorial Independence

Funders, sponsors, advertisers, institutional units, authors, or other financial contributors do not have the right to determine manuscript acceptance, rejection, reviewer selection, reviewer recommendations, editorial interpretation, or publication priority.

Editorial decisions are based on scholarly merit, scope relevance, originality, methodological quality, ethical compliance, research integrity, peer-review evidence, and applicable journal policy.

Sponsorship and External Support

If MUDE receives specific external sponsorship, institutional assistance, project support, grants, or other material support for journal activities, the journal will disclose relevant relationships where necessary for transparency.

Any external funding or sponsorship must preserve the independence of the Editor-in-Chief, Editorial Board, reviewers, and editorial decision-making process.

Funding of Published Research

The funding of an individual research article is separate from the funding of the journal itself. Authors are required to disclose relevant financial support for their research.

Where applicable, an article's Funding Statement should identify:

  • the name of the funding organisation;
  • grant or project number, where applicable;
  • the role of the funder in study design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, manuscript preparation, or publication decisions, if relevant; and
  • other financial relationships that should reasonably be disclosed.
Example — No Specific Research Funding

This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

Example — Funded Research

This research was supported by [Name of Funding Organisation] under Grant/Contract No. [XXXX]. The funder had no role in the study design, data analysis, interpretation of results, manuscript preparation, or decision to submit the article for publication.

Article Processing Charges

Article Processing Charges are not payment for acceptance, favourable peer review, citation, authorship, or publication priority.

MUDE charges no submission fee and no peer-review fee. The applicable Article Processing Charge is governed by the journal's Author Fees Policy and becomes payable only after a manuscript has received formal acceptance.

Conflicts of Interest

Financial support that could reasonably be perceived to influence research, authorship, peer review, or editorial judgement must be disclosed in accordance with MUDE's Conflict of Interest Policy.

FUNDING TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT

Financial support sustains journal operations but does not purchase or influence scholarly decisions. MUDE maintains separation between financial administration and the independent editorial assessment of manuscripts.
