Screening Plagiarism

Jurnal Cakrawala Sekolah upholds strict standards to ensure the originality and integrity of all published works. Every manuscript submitted to this journal undergoes a plagiarism screening process before entering the peer-review stage.

All submissions are checked using plagiarism detection software to identify any overlap or similarity with previously published materials. Manuscripts containing plagiarized content, falsified data, or fabricated results will be immediately rejected or returned to the authors for revision, depending on the level of similarity detected.

The journal defines plagiarism as the act of presenting another person’s ideas, words, or results as one’s own without proper acknowledgment. This includes:

Copying text or figures directly from another source without citation,
Reproducing substantial portions of another’s work, even if paraphrased,
Submitting a previously published paper as a new submission (self-plagiarism), and
Failing to properly credit collaborators or co-authors.

The journal uses plagiarism detection software (such as Turnitin/iThenticate) to identify overlapping text and potential misconduct. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or redundant publication will be rejected immediately.

Acceptable similarity index is below 20%, excluding references and commonly used phrases. Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their work, and they may be asked to revise or resubmit if the similarity report exceeds the acceptable threshold.
