Conflict of Interest

Tamumatra: Jurnal Seni Pertunjukan requires disclosure of interests that could influence, or reasonably appear to influence, research, analysis, peer review, or editorial decisions. This policy applies to arts education, drama, dance, and music. A disclosed interest does not automatically prevent publication.

Authors' responsibilities

Each author must identify relevant financial and nonfinancial interests when submitting a manuscript and inform the editors of changes during review or after publication. The corresponding author collects declarations from all coauthors. Discuss uncertainty about relevance with the editors rather than omitting an interest.

Relevant interests may include:

• Employment, consulting fees, grants, sponsorship, royalties, ownership, or paid promotion connected with a performance, arts organization, festival, school, learning product, recording, or musical instrument discussed in the article.
• Research evaluating an author's own choreography, composition, theater production, teaching program, students, institution, or creative collective.
• Personal, supervisory, collaborative, competitive, or organizational relationships with individuals or groups whose work is analyzed.
• Leadership or advocacy roles in an arts association, cultural organization, or community connected with the research.

Authors should explain their relationship to the research setting and how they addressed its possible influence on recruitment, observation, interpretation, and reporting. Practitioner research and insider knowledge can be valuable. Authors should make their position and any resulting limitations clear. Where students or workshop participants are involved, explain the teacher's authority and any role in assessment.

Disclosure in the submission

Provide a concise conflict-of-interest statement and identify funding or material support, including free rehearsal space, equipment, recording services, or access supplied for the study. Explain any sponsor involvement in research and publication decisions. If no relevant interests exist, state: “The authors declare no conflicts of interest.” Send identifying disclosures to the editors separately from the anonymous review manuscript. The accepted article should contain the final declaration.

Reviewers and editors

Reviewers must disclose relevant interests before accepting an invitation or as soon as they recognize a conflict. They should decline when a relationship prevents impartial assessment. If reviewers recognize a performance, school, or artist in an anonymous manuscript, they must report this privately to the editor. They should not contact authors or attempt to identify them.

Editors with a relevant interest must withdraw from handling the submission. Manuscripts by editors or editorial board members must be assessed by an uninvolved editor under the journal's normal review standards. Confidential material must never be used for personal, academic, or commercial advantage.

Managing concerns

Editors may request clarification, assign another reviewer or editor, or require a clearer published disclosure. An undisclosed interest discovered later will be assessed according to its effect on the article and may require a correction or further action under the journal's publication ethics policies.
