Journal Scientific Statement

The articles published in Gemeinschaft: Journal of Social and Community Engagement are expected to comply with established principles of research and scientific publication ethics. The journal upholds three fundamental ethical values in scholarly publishing, namely: (1) Neutrality, ensuring that editorial and publication processes are free from conflicts of interest and undue influence; (2) Justice, ensuring that authorship and contributorship are appropriately recognized and attributed to those who have made legitimate intellectual contributions to the work; and (3) Honesty, ensuring that published work is free from duplication, fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, and other forms of academic misconduct.

All manuscripts published by the journal are subject to a rigorous editorial and peer-review process designed to maintain the quality, integrity, and academic credibility of the published research.

The journal is committed to ensuring that every stage of the publication process is conducted fairly, transparently, objectively, and consistently with established scholarly standards. Through these procedures and ethical principles, Gemeinschaft: Journal of Social and Community Engagement seeks to ensure the originality, reliability, academic quality, and social relevance of all articles published in the journal.
