Journal of Fibers and Polymer Composites (JFPC) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal established in 2004 by the Green Engineering Society (GES). GES is the journal's publisher and responsible organizational body. The journal publishes scholarly research on the development and dynamics of the Indonesian economy, providing rigorous academic contributions and policy-relevant insights. 
This disclosure follows the transparency principle established in the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, jointly developed by COPE, DOAJ, OASPA, and WAME. Principle 7, Ownership and Management, states that information about a journal's ownership and/or management must be clearly indicated on its website and that publishers should not use organizational or journal names that mislead potential authors and editors about the nature of the journal's owner.

Ownership and Publishing Responsibility

Green Engineering Society (GES) owns and publishes Journal of Fibers and Polymer Composites. The journal operates under the institutional identity of GES, which provides its organizational publishing framework. The publisher's identity is publicly disclosed on the journal's website to enable authors, readers, reviewers, and other stakeholders to identify the organization responsible for the publication.
In accordance with COPE's transparency principles, the journal identifies its publisher and provides publicly accessible information about its editorial team and contact details. These disclosures are intended to make the journal's organizational responsibilities transparent to the scholarly community. See the COPE-endorsed Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, particularly Principles 2, 3, and 7, concerning the governing body, editorial team and contact information, and ownership and management.

Editorial Governance and Management Structure

Journal of Fibers and Polymer Composites maintains a publicly listed editorial team consisting of an Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editors, and an Editorial Board. The names and institutional affiliations of the editors and editorial board members are available on the journal's Editorial Team page. This disclosure enables readers, authors, and reviewers to identify the scholars responsible for the journal's editorial administration and academic oversight.
COPE's Ethics Toolkit for Journal Editors and Publishers identifies journal management as a core area of responsible publishing. It emphasizes the importance of a clearly described management infrastructure, transparent policies and processes, and appropriate management of editorial boards and publishing staff. JEI recognizes these principles as relevant guidance for maintaining transparent and accountable journal management.

Editorial Independence

The publisher supports the journal's scholarly mission while editorial decisions are expected to be based on the academic merit of submitted manuscripts, including their originality, methodological soundness, significance, clarity, and relevance to the journal's scope. The journal's published Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement states that the Editor-in-Chief has full authority over the journal's editorial content and publication schedule, and that editorial decisions are not determined by government policies or other external agencies.
This approach is consistent with COPE's guidance on responsible editorial practice, including the principles of transparency and accountable journal governance described in the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing. The journal's editorial decisions should remain grounded in scholarly assessment and established editorial policies, without inappropriate influence from the publisher, commercial interests, or other external parties.

Transparency and Accountability

Journal of Fibers and Polymer Composites provides public information about its ownership, publishing organization, editorial team, publication ethics, and contact details through its official website. The journal's principal contact and publisher office information are available on the Contact page. These disclosures facilitate communication with the journal and help stakeholders identify the appropriate organizational and editorial contacts.
In line with COPE's transparency principles, the journal should maintain accurate and current information about its ownership, management arrangements, editorial responsibilities, and publishing policies. Any material changes to the publisher, ownership, or management structure should be reflected on the journal's website so that authors, readers, reviewers, and other stakeholders can access reliable information about the journal's governance.
