Authorship and Contribution

Jurnal Desain Lingkungan Binaan Indonesia (JDLBI) recognizes authorship based on substantial intellectual contributions to a scholarly work and accountability for its content. All individuals listed as authors must meet the authorship criteria outlined below. This policy applies to all manuscript types published by JDLBI, including Architectural Design Articles, Design Research Articles, Design Evaluation Articles, and Design Methods and Tools Articles.

1. Authorship Eligibility

To qualify for authorship, each author must fulfill all of the following criteria:

1. Make a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the work, or to the development of design concepts, the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data, or other substantive intellectual aspects of the manuscript.
2. Participate in drafting the manuscript or critically revising it for important intellectual content.
3. Approve the final version of the manuscript before submission and publication.
4. Agree to be accountable for the accuracy and integrity of their contributions and to assist in resolving questions concerning any part of the work.

Individuals who do not meet all authorship criteria must not be listed as authors. They may instead be acknowledged for their specific contributions, with their permission.

2. Author Responsibilities

All authors share responsibility for the integrity, accuracy, and scholarly quality of the published work. Each author must:

- Ensure that their contributions are accurately represented in the manuscript.
- Approve the submitted manuscript and any subsequent revisions requiring author approval.
- Disclose any relevant conflicts of interest.
- Ensure that the manuscript is original, that all sources are properly cited, and that permissions for third-party materials, including images, drawings, photographs, and other visual materials, have been obtained where required.
- Ensure that the design work, research findings, data, illustrations, and other materials presented in the manuscript are accurately represented and appropriately attributed.
- Cooperate with the editorial team in addressing questions, corrections, or concerns regarding the manuscript or published article.

3. First Author and Corresponding Author

The first author is generally the individual who has made the leading intellectual contribution to the work and manuscript preparation, as agreed upon by all authors. For design-oriented manuscripts, this may include substantial contributions to the design concept, design development, research process, analysis, or interpretation of the work.

The corresponding author is responsible for communication with the JDLBI editorial office throughout submission, peer review, revision, and publication. The corresponding author must ensure that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the manuscript and have agreed to its submission to JDLBI.

The corresponding author is also responsible for coordinating responses to editorial queries, communicating relevant publication decisions and updates to all co-authors, and ensuring that all authorship and contributorship information is complete and accurate.

4. Author Order and Contributions

The order of authors must be agreed upon by all authors before submission and should reflect their respective contributions to the work. JDLBI does not prescribe a single author-ordering convention for all disciplines. Authors should follow the conventions appropriate to their field and ensure that the author order is mutually agreed upon.

For manuscripts based on architectural design projects, studio projects, or final-year design projects, authorship should reflect substantive intellectual contributions to the design work and the preparation of the manuscript. Participation in a project, enrollment in a design studio, academic supervision, or institutional affiliation alone does not automatically qualify an individual for authorship.

JDLBI encourages authors to provide a detailed statement describing each author's contribution using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), where applicable.

5. Changes in Authorship

Any request to add, remove, or rearrange authors after submission must be submitted in writing to the JDLBI editorial office, accompanied by a clear explanation and written agreement from all authors, including those being added or removed.

The editorial team will assess the request and may suspend editorial processing while the matter is being evaluated. Changes in authorship after publication will be considered only when justified and supported by appropriate documentation, in accordance with JDLBI's publication ethics policies.

6. Contributors and Acknowledgments

JDLBI encourages transparent recognition of contributions through the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT). Authors should provide a contribution statement identifying the roles performed by each contributor, using the applicable CRediT roles.

The CRediT taxonomy includes 14 contributor roles covering activities such as conceptualization, methodology, investigation, formal analysis, visualization, supervision, and writing. The assigned roles should accurately reflect the contributions made to the work.

For detailed definitions of the CRediT roles, please refer to the official resource provided by the journal or the CRediT taxonomy documentation.

Individuals who contribute to the work but do not meet all authorship criteria may be acknowledged for their specific contributions, such as technical assistance, preparation of drawings or visualizations, language editing, administrative support, funding acquisition, or general supervision.

Acknowledgments must not be used as a substitute for authorship when the authorship criteria are fulfilled. Written permission must be obtained from individuals before they are named in the Acknowledgments section.

7. Unacceptable Authorship Practices

JDLBI does not permit the following authorship practices:

- Gift or honorary authorship: listing individuals who have not made the required intellectual contributions.
- Ghost authorship: omitting individuals who have made substantial contributions that warrant authorship.
- Guest authorship: including names primarily to increase the perceived credibility or likelihood of acceptance of a manuscript.
- Unauthorized authorship changes: adding, removing, or changing the order of authors without the required agreement.

Suspected authorship violations will be handled in accordance with JDLBI's publication ethics policies and applicable scholarly publishing standards.

8. Artificial Intelligence and Authorship

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools cannot be listed as authors because they cannot take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and accountability of scholarly work.

Authors remain fully responsible for the content of their manuscripts, including material generated or assisted by AI tools. Any use of AI tools must comply with JDLBI's applicable policies on AI use and disclosure.

Authors must verify the accuracy of AI-assisted content, ensure that citations are genuine and relevant, and avoid submitting fabricated data, references, images, design outputs, or unsupported claims. Where AI tools are used in generating text, visualizations, design alternatives, or other substantive manuscript materials, authors must provide disclosure in accordance with the journal's AI-use policy.

9. Editorial Responsibility

The JDLBI editorial team may request clarification or supporting documentation when authorship or contributorship concerns arise. The journal may suspend editorial processing while such concerns are investigated.

All authorship matters will be handled in accordance with JDLBI's publication ethics policies and applicable standards of scholarly publishing.
