1. Definition of Plagiarism

   • Plagiarism is the use of another person’s ideas, data, or words without proper attribution, whether intentional or unintentional.
   • This includes direct plagiarism (copying word-for-word without citation), mosaic plagiarism (combining sources without significant modification), and self-plagiarism (reusing one’s own work without proper acknowledgment).

2. Plagiarism Screening

   • All submitted manuscripts will be checked using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin or iThenticate before further processing.
   • The maximum similarity threshold allowed is below 20%, excluding properly cited quotes and references.

3. Actions Against Plagiarism

   • If minor plagiarism (below 10%) is detected, authors will be asked to revise and provide proper citations.
   • If moderate to high plagiarism (20% or more) is found, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision or directly rejected.
   • If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the article may be retracted, and the author and their institution will be notified.

4. Author Responsibilities

   • Authors are responsible for ensuring that the submitted article is original and not under review in another journal.
   • All sources must be properly cited following the journal's referencing guidelines.

Through this policy, Jurnal Pengabdian Inovasi Sosial Berkelanjutan strives to uphold academic integrity and ensure that only high-quality research is published.
