Plagiarism Screening Policy

JATIKA (Jurnal Informatika dan Rekayasa Perangkat Lunak) recognizes that plagiarism is unacceptable and maintains a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of academic dishonesty. All received manuscripts undergo a mandatory plagiarism screening process by the Editorial Board prior to peer review and publication.

General Plagiarism Principles

  • The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works. If the author(s) use other's works and/or words, then they must be cited or quoted appropriately.
  • An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
  • Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
  • All received manuscripts will go through a plagiarism screening process by the editorial board. JATIKA uses Turnitin for submission screening.

Similarity Detection & Threshold

JATIKA editorial board recognizes that plagiarism is not acceptable and therefore establishes the following policy stating specific actions (penalties) upon identification of plagiarism/similarities in articles submitted for publication in JATIKA.

JATIKA will use Plagiarism Detector / Turnitin originality checking software as the tool in detecting similarities of texts in article manuscripts and the final version of articles ready for publication.

A maximum of 20% of similarities is allowed for the submitted papers. Should we find more than 20% of the similarity index, the article will be returned to the author for correction and resubmission.

Level of Plagiarism and Actions

Level Description Action (Penalty)
Minor A short section of another article is plagiarized without any significant data or idea taken from the other paper. A warning is given to the authors and a request to change the text and properly cite the original article is made.
Intermediate A significant portion of a paper is plagiarized without proper citation to the original paper. The submitted article is rejected and the authors are forbidden to submit further articles for one year.
Severe A significant portion of a paper is plagiarized that involves reproducing original results or ideas presented in another publication. The paper is rejected and the authors are forbidden to submit further articles for five years.
