Screening Plagiarism

MANAGIERE: Journal of Islamic Educational Management, published by Universitas Islam Negeri Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember, requires all submissions to be original and properly acknowledge the work of others.

Similarity Screening

The editorial team screens all submitted manuscripts using Turnitin before external peer review. Additional screening may be conducted after revision or when concerns arise.

Authors are encouraged to check their manuscripts before submission and correct unattributed quotations, inappropriate paraphrasing, and undisclosed reuse of previously published material.

Similarity Threshold and Interpretation

Manuscripts with an overall similarity index exceeding 30% may be returned for revision or rejected following editorial assessment.

The similarity index is a screening indicator, not a definitive measure of plagiarism. A score of 30% or below does not automatically establish originality or guarantee acceptance. Unattributed copying from a single source may constitute plagiarism even when the overall score is low.

Editors examine matched passages and their sources, considering properly attributed quotations, references, standard methodological expressions, and commonly used terminology. Where appropriate, screening settings may exclude bibliographies and properly quoted material. Authors must not manipulate wording or formatting merely to evade detection.

Practices Subject to Assessment

The journal evaluates concerns involving:

Copying text, ideas, data, images, or other material without appropriate attribution.
Paraphrasing that closely reproduces a source without adequate acknowledgment.
Substantial reuse of an author’s previously published material without disclosure and citation.
Duplicate or redundant publication.
Unauthorised use of copyrighted material.

Similarity concerns are assessed according to their nature, extent, attribution, and effect on the manuscript’s originality.

Editorial Action

When problematic overlap is identified, the editors may request an explanation, require revision, suspend the editorial process, or reject the manuscript.

Suspected plagiarism is investigated fairly, with an opportunity for authors to respond. Confirmed violations discovered after publication may result in correction or retraction and, where warranted, notification of relevant institutions.

All cases are handled in accordance with the journal’s Publication Ethics and Retraction & Correction policies, drawing on applicable COPE guidance.

Reporting Concerns

Concerns about plagiarism in submitted or published work may be reported to jurnal.managiere@gmail.com. Reports should identify the manuscript or article and provide the suspected source and supporting evidence where available.
