Plagiarism Screening
Plagiarism Screening Statement
Introduction to Plagiarism Screening:
Jurnal Sains dan Pendidikan Fisika (JSPF) implements stringent procedures to ensure the integrity and originality of each submitted manuscript. Plagiarism screening is an integral part of our evaluation process, and we are strongly committed to upholding high ethical standards in scientific publishing. Here is important information about the plagiarism screening procedure at JSPF:
1. Purpose of Plagiarism Screening:
Plagiarism screening aims to identify and prevent academic dishonesty, ensuring that every published manuscript is an original work and not a result of duplication or unauthorized copying.
2. Plagiarism Detection Tool - Turnitin:
JSPF employs Turnitin as one of the leading and sophisticated plagiarism detection tools. Turnitin checks text similarity between the submitted manuscript and previously published works, as well as other online and offline sources. The allowable plagiarism limit is set at 20%.
3. Pre-Peer Review Screening:
The initial step of plagiarism screening occurs before the manuscript undergoes the peer-review process. This helps identify potential plagiarism issues early on, ensuring that only manuscripts meeting ethical standards proceed to further evaluation.
4. Commitment to Fairness and Transparency:
The plagiarism screening process is executed with a full commitment to fairness and transparency. Authors will be given an opportunity to provide clarification if legitimate text similarity with previous works is detected.
5. Results and Decisions:
The results of plagiarism screening will be considered alongside the peer-review outcomes. Editor decisions will be based on a comprehensive evaluation of the manuscript's originality and scholarly quality.
6. Consequences of Plagiarism:
In case of significant plagiarism, manuscripts may be rejected. Authors may be given an opportunity to revise the manuscript or provide clarification, but the editor's final decision is not subject to appeal.
7. Guidelines for Authors:
Authors are encouraged to understand the publication guidelines and ethics before submitting a manuscript. Presenting original work and giving proper attribution to each source is the responsibility of the author.
We are committed to maintaining the integrity and quality of the Jurnal Sains dan Pendidikan Fisika. Plagiarism screening is a crucial step in ensuring that every scholarly contribution is valued and acknowledged fairly.
