Authorship Criteria & Contributions

  1. Eligibility for Authorship

Authorship in Iqtishadia: Jurnal Ekonomi dan Perbankan Syariah is restricted to individuals who have made a substantial intellectual contribution to the research and accept full accountability for its contents. In accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines, all listed authors must satisfy all four of the following criteria:

  • Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the study; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of empirical/literary data;
  • Drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content (particularly in strengthening theoretical frameworks, Islamic economic arguments, or empirical models);
  • Final approval of the version to be published;
  • Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
  1. Non-Author Contributors & Acknowledgments

Individuals who contributed to the study or manuscript preparation but do not meet all four criteria above must not be listed as co-authors. Their support—such as providing research funding, institutional assistance, field data collection help, language editing, or general administrative supervision—should be explicitly acknowledged in the Acknowledgments section, provided they have granted written permission to be named.

  1. Author Roles (CRediT Taxonomy)

To promote transparency in research attribution, Iqtishadia requires authors to explicitly declare their specific contributions upon submission using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT). The role of each author should be summarized in a dedicated section before the references.

The standard CRediT roles include:

  • Conceptualization: Formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims.
  • Methodology: Development or design of methodology; creation of models (e.g., econometric, qualitative, or fiqh analysis frameworks).
  • Software: Programming, software development; designing computer programs; implementation of supporting code and algorithms.
  • Validation: Verification, whether as a part of the activity or separate, of the overall replication/reproducibility of results/experiments.
  • Formal Analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data.
  • Investigation: Conducting a research and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments, or data/evidence collection.
  • Resources: Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, laboratory samples, computing resources, or other analysis tools.
  • Data Curation: Management activities to annotate, scrub data and maintain research data for initial use and reuse.
  • Writing – Original Draft: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing the initial draft.
  • Writing – Review & Editing: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of the published work by those from the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary, or revision.
  • Visualization: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of the published work, specifically visualization/data presentation.
  • Supervision: Oversight and leadership responsibility for the research activity planning and execution.
  • Project Administration: Management and coordination responsibility for the research activity planning and execution.
  • Funding Acquisition: Acquisition of the financial support for the project leading to this publication.
  1. Ghost, Guest, and Gift Authorship

Iqtishadia strictly prohibits improper authorship practices, including:

  • Gift / Honorary Authorship: Including individuals who made no significant intellectual contribution to the research (e.g., department heads, senior colleagues, or supervisors included solely due to position).
  • Ghost Authorship: Omitting individuals who made substantial intellectual contributions to the research or drafting process.
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools Assistance: Generative AI tools and Large Language Models (LLMs)(such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude) do not qualify for authorship, as they cannot take ethical or legal responsibility for the validity, accuracy, and integrity of the work. If AI tools were used for data analysis, literature search, or language refinement, their use must be explicitly disclosed in the Methods or Acknowledgments section, specifying the tool used and the nature of its application.
