Plagiarism Screening Policy

Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and publication ethics. All manuscripts submitted to the journal are subject to plagiarism screening prior to the peer review process.

Screening Tools

The journal uses plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin or iThenticate to check the originality of submitted manuscripts.

Similarity Threshold

• Manuscripts with a similarity index above 20% (excluding references, quotations, and common phrases) will be returned to the authors for revision before further consideration.
• Cases of significant plagiarism, including self-plagiarism or duplication of previously published work without proper citation, will result in rejection of the manuscript.

Author Responsibility

Authors are expected to ensure that their manuscripts are entirely original, and that any work or words of others are properly cited or quoted. All sources that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work must be acknowledged.

Ethical Compliance

Plagiarism in any form constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article may be retracted in accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines.

Editorial Action

When potential plagiarism is identified:

• The editorial office will review the similarity report in detail.
• Authors will be notified and given an opportunity to respond.
• The final decision will be made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the severity of the overlap and the explanation provided by the author(s).
