Plagiarism Policy
Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat Unisa Kuningan maintains a strict policy regarding academic integrity and is fully committed to preventing plagiarism, data fabrication, and redundant publications. Every manuscript submitted to the journal must represent entirely original work that has not been previously published elsewhere.
To ensure the high standard and originality of our published articles, the editorial board implements the following anti-plagiarism guidelines:
1. Plagiarism Screening
Before entering the formal peer review process, every submitted manuscript will undergo an initial screening for originality and similarity using professional text-matching software, specifically Turnitin.
2. Maximum Similarity Threshold
-
The maximum allowable similarity index for an article to be considered for peer review is 25%.
-
In addition to the overall similarity score, the editor will closely examine single-source matches. Even if the total index is below 25%, any direct, uncredited duplication of a block of text from a single source without proper citation is considered a violation.
3. Editorial Action on Plagiarism Check
Based on the results of the Turnitin report, the editorial team will take one of the following actions:
-
Passed (< 25%): The manuscript proceeds to the peer review process.
-
Minor Overlap (26% – 35%): The manuscript will be returned to the authors with a request to paraphrase the text and properly cite the missing sources. The authors must resubmit the revised version for a second check.
-
Major Plagiarism (> 35%): The manuscript will be rejected immediately (Desk Rejection) without further evaluation. The author will be notified of the decision.
4. Types of Plagiarism Categorized
The journal strictly prohibits all forms of plagiarism, including:
-
Direct Plagiarism: Copying text word-for-word from another source without using quotation marks and proper attribution.
-
Self-Plagiarism (Text Recycling): Reusing large portions of the author's own previously published work without explicit citation or acknowledgment.
-
Paraphrasing without Credit: Rewriting someone else's ideas or data in your own words without acknowledging the original author.
5. Retraction of Published Articles
If plagiarism, data falsification, or copyright infringement is discovered after an article has been published, the journal will conduct a thorough investigation following the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). If proven, the article will be formally retracted from the digital system, and a retraction notice will be publicly posted on the article page.
