Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense and is strictly prohibited in our journal. By submitting a manuscript, the author(s) warrant that the manuscript is their original work, has not been published previously, and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Screening Mechanism To ensure the originality of the submitted manuscripts and to uphold high academic standards, the Editorial Board strictly implements a plagiarism screening process.
-
Software: All submitted manuscripts will be checked for similarity using Turnitin [atau ganti dengan iThenticate/software lain].
-
Threshold: The maximum acceptable similarity index is 20%.
-
Exclusions: During the similarity check, the bibliography/references, exact quotes, and author affiliations are excluded from the calculation.
-
Consequences: > * If a manuscript shows a similarity index between 25% - 30%, it will be returned to the author(s) for major revisions and paraphrasing before it can proceed to the peer-review process.
-
If a manuscript shows a similarity index of more than 80% or indicates blatant plagiarism (e.g., copying entire paragraphs from a single source without attribution), it will be immediately rejected without further review.
-
In cases where plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal reserves the right to formally retract the article, issue a retraction notice, and inform the author's institution in accordance with the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines.
