Plagiarism Police & Screening for Plagiarism

Plagiarism Police & Screening for Plagiarism

• The Indonesian Journal of Small-Scale Farming firmly opposes all forms of plagiarism. All manuscripts submitted for publication in the Indonesian Journal of Small-Scale Farming will be screened for plagiarism using Turnitin software.
• Plagiarism is copying someone's ideas, processes, results, or words without explicitly acknowledging the original author and source. Plagiarism occurs when large portions of a manuscript are copied from previously published sources without using appropriate references.
• Manuscripts found plagiarized during the initial stages of review will be rejected immediately and not considered for publication in the journal. The Editorial Board checks for plagiarism through script review based on clarity of reference/citation sources and examination of related articles that have been published. The maximum similarity tolerance limit is 15%.
• If a manuscript is found to be plagiarized beyond acceptable limits, the journal will immediately contact the author. Determining an ethical violation will require the Indonesian Journal of Small-Scale Farming to submit an online statement that links bi-directionally to and from the original paper, to note plagiarism, and to provide references to plagiarized material.
