Journal Sisi Lain Realita wants to ensure that all authors are careful and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly on the issue of plagiarism.

Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without proper credit. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and unacceptable in international academic publications.

Information

When the author learns specific information (a name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information) from a specific source, a citation is required. This is forgiven only in cases of common knowledge, where the data is readily available from more than five sources or is generally recognized — e.g., the fact that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global climate change.

Ideas

When the author takes an idea from another author, a citation is required even if the author then develops the idea further. This might be an idea about how to interpret the data — either what methodology to use or what conclusion to draw — or about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, authors should cite their sources. In cases where the author develops the idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source first, and then in a subsequent sentence, explain the more developed idea.

Words

When the author takes words from another author, citation and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source the author has read, quotation marks must be used to denote another author's original words — a citation alone is no longer sufficient.

Journal Sisi Lain Realita takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance from a paper found to violate any of the standards set out above. For further information, potential authors can contact the editorial office at [email protected].
