Plagiarism Policy
Jurnal Pengabdian Keguruan board recognizes that plagiarism is not acceptable and therefore establishes the following policy stating specific actions (penalties) when plagiarism is identified in an article that is submitted for publication. Jurnal Pengabdian Keguruan will use Turnitin originality checking software as our tool in detecting similarities of texts in articles. A maximum of 20% of similarities is allowed.
Plagiarism is taking someone else's essay (opinion and so on) and making it appear as if it were your own essay, for example publishing someone else's writing on your own behalf; plagiarize.
Based on this definition, articles must be original, have never been published, and are not in the process of waiting for publication elsewhere. Material taken verbally from other sources needs to be clearly identified so that it differs from the original text.
If plagiarism is identified, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for reviewing the article and will approve actions according to the level of plagiarism detected, with the following guidelines:
- Plagiarized part of a short sentence from another article without citing the source. Action: The author is given a warning and a request to change the text and quote properly.
- Plagiarizes most of the other articles without proper citation and does not mention the source. Action: The submitted article is rejected for publication in the Jurnal Pengabdian Keguruan and the Author may be penalized for not being allowed publication in Jurnal Pengabdian Keguruan.
All article authors are responsible for the content of the manuscripts they submit. If it is proven that the author submits the manuscript to the Jurnal Pengabdian Keguruan simultaneously submits it to other journals, and this overlap is found during the reviewer process or after publication, then action is given according to point 2 above.
