Screening for Plagiarism
Plagiarism Policy
Jurnal Maksipreneur: Manajemen, Koperasi, dan Entrepreneurship (JMP) does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. Every manuscript is screened with similarity-detection software at submission and again before publication.
Similarity thresholds
| Measure | Limit |
|---|---|
| Overall similarity index | at most 15% |
| Single source | at most 3% |
| Verbatim text without quotation marks and citation | not permitted at any length |
The reference list, standard methodological phrasing, and correctly quoted and cited material are excluded when the editor interprets the report. A similarity index is an indicator, not a verdict: the editor reads the report rather than relying on the percentage alone, since a manuscript at 15% may contain a serious unattributed passage while one at 25% may be entirely properly cited.
Forms of plagiarism
| Form | Description |
|---|---|
| Verbatim plagiarism | Copying text word for word without quotation marks and citation. |
| Mosaic plagiarism | Rewording passages from a source while keeping its structure and ideas, without citation. |
| Paraphrase plagiarism | Restating another's argument in one's own words without crediting the source. |
| Self-plagiarism | Reusing one's own previously published text, data, tables, or figures without citation and disclosure. |
| Data plagiarism | Presenting data gathered by others as one's own. |
| Image plagiarism | Reproducing figures, instruments, or models from another source without permission and credit. |
| Citation plagiarism | Deliberately omitting a source whose influence on the work is substantial. |
Procedure
- At submission. The editorial team runs a similarity check. A manuscript above the thresholds is returned to the authors before review, with the report attached, or desk rejected where the overlap is extensive.
- During review. A reviewer who suspects plagiarism informs the editor confidentially with evidence. The editor verifies it independently.
- Explanation. Authors are given 14 days to respond, with evidence.
- Decision. Minor, apparently unintentional overlap is corrected before further processing. Substantial plagiarism leads to rejection and a record in the journal's files. Where the conduct appears deliberate, the matter proceeds under the Research Misconduct policy, including notification of the authors' institution.
- After publication. Confirmed plagiarism in a published article leads to retraction under the Correction and Retraction policy. The retraction notice states the reason plainly.
Guidance for authors
- Quote directly only where the exact wording matters, always with quotation marks and a page number.
- Paraphrase in your own sentence structure, and still cite the source.
- Cite every source for an idea, a figure, an instrument, or a dataset that is not your own.
- Where you reuse your own earlier work, cite it and explain in the manuscript what is new here.
- Obtain written permission for any copyrighted figure, table, or instrument, and record it in the caption.
- Run your own similarity check before submitting; Turnitin and iThenticate are available through most university libraries.
Manuscripts submitted to JMP will be screened using the iThenticate similarity detection tool. JMP will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism. JMP 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 to the source. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and unacceptable in international academic publications.
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 only forgiven in cases of general knowledge, where the data is readily available in more than five sources or is common knowledge, e.g., the fact that Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world.)
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. It might be an idea 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 of the idea, and then in a subsequent sentence, the author can explain her or his more developed idea.
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 that the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to denote the use of another author's original words; just a citation is no longer enough.
JMP 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 to editor. Papers submitted to JMP will be screened and checked for plagiarism using plagiarism detection tools (iThenticate), but an author should check it too before submitting.
