Plagiarism Screeninfg Policy
The "Jendela Pengetahuan" journal is committed to maintaining the highest integrity and academic honesty standards. To ensure the originality of the content published, the following plagiarism screening policy is implemented:
- Use of Plagiarism Detection Software
- All manuscripts submitted to the "Jendela Pengetahuan" journal are screened for plagiarism using industry-standard plagiarism detection software [e.g., Turnitin, iThenticate].
- The software checks for similarities with previously published works in the journal and other databases to identify any potential instances of plagiarism.
- Plagiarism Threshold
- The journal has established a plagiarism threshold of 20% similarity. Manuscripts that exceed this threshold will be reviewed more closely, and the similarity index will be analyzed to determine if the overlapping text constitutes plagiarism.
- The similarity index calculation typically excludes direct quotes, common phrases, and references.
- Actions in Case of Plagiarism
- If plagiarism is detected before publication, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision or rejected outright, depending on the severity of the plagiarism.
- If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article may be retracted, and a notice of retraction will be published on the journal's website. The author's institution may also be notified.
- Types of Plagiarism Considered Unacceptable
- Direct Plagiarism: Copying text from another source without proper citation.
- Self-Plagiarism: Reusing significant portions of one's previously published work without appropriate citation.
- Mosaic Plagiarism: Paraphrasing another's work by making slight changes without proper attribution.
- Accidental Plagiarism: Unintentional failure to cite sources or paraphrase properly is still considered a serious offence.

- Editorial Responsibilities
