Screening for Plagiarism Policy

Prevention of plagiarism is crucial as it guarantees scientific and academic integrity. Therefore, the Tadbir: Journal of Islamic Economics and Management uses Turnitin Software to control plagiarism issues.

For an article to be accepted for peer review, the similarity index must be a maximum of 20%, excluding references.

There are several indicators of plagiarism that all authors should be aware of:

  • The most easily identified plagiarism is repeated content plagiarism, where an author copies another author’s work by quoting words, sentences, or paragraphs without citing the original source. This type of plagiarism can be easily detected by our plagiarism detection software.

  • The second type of plagiarism occurs when an author reproduces most of another author’s work without mentioning the source. The term "substance reproduction" here can be understood as copying other people's ideas, both in terms of quantity and quality, which potentially infringes on the original author’s copyright in the context of intellectual property.

  • The third type of plagiarism is when an author takes ideas, words, or phrases in paraphrased sentences or paragraphs without citing the original source. This type of plagiarism is often undetectable through plagiarism software because it is idea-based. However, this practice becomes unethical when authors fail to cite or acknowledge the original author’s source.

Included in this category are authors who publish one article in more than one editorial publication and recycle papers/manuscripts. The key point in self-plagiarism is that when taking one’s own work, the creation of a new work must involve significant changes. This means that the old work is only a small part of the new work produced. Thus, readers will get new information, which is actually the author presenting it on paper using the old paper.
