Institutional publishing responsibilities include supporting the journal's organisational continuity, facilitating appropriate administrative arrangements, and maintaining the institutional identity associated with its scholarly publications.
The journal's publisher and management should ensure that institutional information remains accurate, accessible, and consistent across official journal pages, publication metadata, editorial correspondence, and other relevant public communications.
These responsibilities reflect Principle 10 of the COPE-supported Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, which requires clear disclosure of ownership and management and accurate identification of institutional affiliations.

The editorial management of JIIP is led by the Editor-in-Chief and supported by the Editorial Board and Assistant Editors. These individuals contribute to the administration of manuscript submissions, coordination of scientific assessments, management of editorial correspondence, and implementation of publication policies.
The journal identifies Dr. Endah Puspitojati, S.TP., M.P., affiliated with Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian Yogyakarta-Magelang, as its Editor-in-Chief.
The Editor-in-Chief provides editorial leadership and oversees the implementation of journal policies, manuscript assessment procedures, peer-review coordination, and decisions concerning the suitability of submitted work for publication.
The Editorial Board contributes disciplinary expertise and supports the scientific quality and relevance of the journal's publications. Assistant Editors support the administrative and operational processes associated with editorial management.
The COPE-supported Principle 11 on Advisory Bodies and Principle 12 on Editorial Team and Contact Information recommend that journals publish accurate information about editorial personnel, including their full names, affiliations, and responsibilities within the journal's governance arrangements.
The current composition of the editorial leadership, board members, and assistant editors is available through the official JIIP Editorial Team page.

5. Editorial Board Composition and Professional Expertise

JIIP maintains an Editorial Board comprising academics and researchers affiliated with higher education institutions and organisations relevant to the journal's scientific scope.
Editorial Board members are expected to contribute appropriate knowledge and experience in agricultural sciences, sustainable agriculture, agribusiness, agricultural technology, food technology, and related fields.
The COPE-supported Principle 11 on Advisory Bodies recommends that journals maintain editorial or advisory boards whose members possess recognised expertise within the journal's aims and scope, provide accurate information about their affiliations, and agree to serve in their stated roles.
JIIP should regularly review its editorial composition to maintain appropriate disciplinary coverage, professional competence, and accuracy of published editorial information.
Appointments, changes in institutional affiliation, resignations, and other modifications to editorial membership should be reflected on the official journal website after institutional or editorial confirmation.

6. Editorial Independence and Decision-Making Authority

JIIP recognises editorial independence as an essential component of credible scholarly publishing. Decisions concerning manuscript review, revision, acceptance, rejection, and post-publication action must be based on scientific merit and applicable editorial and ethical requirements.
The journal's editorial decisions should consider the originality of the research, the adequacy of its methodology, the reliability of reported data, the validity of its interpretation, its relevance to agricultural sciences, and its compliance with publication ethics.
The COPE-supported Principles of Transparency concerning editorial decision-making and scholarly merit emphasise that publication decisions should not be influenced by authors' nationality, ethnicity, political beliefs, race, religion, or other irrelevant personal characteristics.
Institutional authority, financial interests, commercial relationships, personal affiliations, political considerations, or external pressure must not improperly determine the outcome of manuscript evaluation.
The publisher should respect the professional responsibilities of the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board while maintaining appropriate institutional oversight of administrative, legal, and organisational matters.

7. Responsibilities of the Publisher and Editorial Team

The publisher and editorial team have complementary responsibilities in maintaining the journal's academic quality, organisational accountability, and publication integrity.
The publisher is responsible for supporting the journal's institutional administration and ensuring that the journal operates within the applicable organisational and legal framework.
The Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board are responsible for managing scholarly evaluations, selecting qualified reviewers, considering reviewer recommendations, resolving editorial issues, and implementing publication ethics policies.
These arrangements are informed by the COPE Core Practices on Journal Management and Peer Review Processes, which identify appropriate administrative systems and well-defined editorial procedures as important elements of responsible journal governance.
The journal should maintain appropriate documentation of editorial assignments, manuscript decisions, relevant correspondence, policy updates, and significant governance changes.

8. Institutional Collaboration and External Relationships

JIIP identifies collaboration with Ikatan Produsen Benih Hortikultura (IPBH) Indonesia as part of its scholarly publication activities.
Institutional collaboration may support scholarly communication, professional engagement, dissemination of agricultural research, and connections between academic researchers and agricultural stakeholders.
The identification of a collaborating organisation does not, by itself, establish joint ownership, editorial authority, or financial control over the journal. Any such responsibilities must be based on documented institutional arrangements.
The COPE-supported Principle 10 on Ownership and Management recommends that journals identify relevant institutional affiliations, societies, and sponsors transparently and provide links to their official websites when available.
Any collaboration that materially affects journal governance, funding arrangements, editorial responsibilities, or publication policies should be disclosed clearly to authors, reviewers, and readers.

9. Financial Transparency and Management Accountability

JIIP recognises that transparent financial arrangements contribute to accountable journal management and help authors understand the conditions associated with scholarly publication.
Information about applicable manuscript processing charges, publication fees, and other author-related costs is provided through the journal's official Article Processing Charges page.
The COPE-supported Principles of Transparency concerning Author Fees and Revenue Sources recommend that journals clearly identify publication-related charges and explain their business models or sources of financial support.
Financial arrangements, institutional support, and publication charges must not improperly influence editorial decisions or compromise the independence of peer review.
The journal should disclose any material financial, sponsorship, or organisational relationships that could reasonably raise concerns about editorial independence or competing interests.

10. Conflicts of Interest in Journal Governance

The publisher, Editor-in-Chief, Editorial Board members, and other individuals involved in journal management must identify and appropriately manage competing interests that could influence editorial responsibilities or publication decisions.
Conflicts may arise from personal relationships, professional collaborations, employment arrangements, institutional affiliations, commercial interests, financial relationships, or other circumstances affecting impartiality.
JIIP follows the COPE Core Practice on Conflicts of Interest and Competing Interests, which calls for clear procedures for identifying and managing competing interests involving authors, reviewers, editors, journals, and publishers.
When an editor has a relevant conflict of interest, responsibility for the affected manuscript should be assigned to another appropriately qualified editor who can conduct the assessment independently.
Manuscripts submitted by editorial personnel must be evaluated through procedures that prevent those individuals from influencing the assessment or publication decisions relating to their own work.

11. Publication Ethics and Institutional Oversight

JIIP maintains publication ethics policies intended to support originality, authorship accountability, transparent peer review, research integrity, accurate scientific reporting, and responsible correction of the scholarly record.
The publisher and editorial team should cooperate in addressing credible allegations of plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, authorship manipulation, undisclosed competing interests, and other concerns affecting research integrity.
The COPE Core Practices on Allegations of Misconduct and Post-Publication Discussions and Corrections recommend that journals maintain appropriate procedures for evaluating research integrity concerns and implementing corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions when justified.
Where concerns require formal investigation into researcher conduct, the journal may cooperate with the relevant research institution or competent authority while protecting confidential information and maintaining procedural fairness.
The journal's institutional governance should support the editorial team's ability to take appropriate corrective action when published findings are shown to be unreliable.

12. Transparency of Editorial Appointments and Governance Changes

JIIP should ensure that changes in editorial leadership, Editorial Board membership, institutional administration, or other significant management arrangements are reflected accurately on its official website.
The COPE-supported Principles 10, 11, and 12 concerning ownership, advisory bodies, and editorial contact information recommend that journals maintain accurate public records of their governing structures and provide up-to-date information about their editorial personnel.
Changes affecting the identity of the publisher, ownership arrangements, institutional affiliations, or editorial authority should be communicated transparently to the journal's scholarly community.
The journal should avoid misleading representations of institutional recognition, collaboration, editorial membership, or relationships with other academic and professional organisations.

13. Official Contact Information and Public Accountability

JIIP provides official editorial contact information to facilitate communication with authors, reviewers, readers, research institutions, and other interested parties.
Publisher: Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian Yogyakarta-Magelang
Principal Contact: Dr. Endah Puspitojati, S.TP., M.P.
Editorial Office Address: Jl. Kusumanegara No. 2, Tahunan, Umbulharjo, Yogyakarta, Special Region of Yogyakarta 55167, Indonesia
The publication of complete editorial contact information reflects Principle 12 of the COPE-supported Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, which recommends that journals provide the full names and affiliations of editors together with a complete mailing address for the editorial office.
Authors, reviewers, readers, and other stakeholders may use the official journal communication channels to request information concerning journal administration, manuscript processing, publication policies, or relevant governance matters.

14. Governance Accountability and Complaints

JIIP recognises the importance of transparent procedures for addressing complaints relating to editorial administration, publication decisions, governance arrangements, and the conduct of individuals involved in scholarly publishing.
The journal will consider complaints through its applicable editorial and institutional procedures. Where a complaint concerns an individual responsible for the original decision, the matter should be referred to another appropriately authorised and impartial person where practicable.
The COPE Core Practice on Complaints and Appeals recommends that journals maintain clear procedures for addressing complaints involving journal decisions, editorial staff, editorial boards, and publishers.
Governance complaints and appeals must be considered fairly, with appropriate attention to documentary evidence, procedural responsibilities, confidentiality, and potential competing interests.

15. Policy Implementation and Continuous Review

The publisher, Editor-in-Chief, and editorial management of JIIP are responsible for maintaining accurate and transparent information concerning the journal's institutional identity, publication management, editorial governance, and official contact arrangements.
The journal should periodically review this policy to ensure that its published ownership and management information reflects current institutional arrangements and remains consistent with its editorial practices.
JIIP is committed to ensuring that institutional ownership, journal management, editorial independence, and publication ethics remain clearly defined and responsibly administered in support of credible and transparent scholarly communication.
