Screening Plagiarism

Screening for Plagiarism

Manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Syntax Imperatif: Jurnal Ilmu Pendidikan dan Sosial will be screened for plagiarism using the Turnitin plagiarism detection tool. The journal will immediately reject manuscripts that indicate plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Jurnal Syntax Imperatif: Jurnal Ilmu Pendidikan dan Sosial is committed to ensuring that all authors adhere to international standards of academic integrity, particularly regarding plagiarism.

Plagiarism occurs when an author uses ideas, data, or wording from another source without proper acknowledgment. Even if done unintentionally, plagiarism is still considered a serious academic violation and is unacceptable in international scholarly communication.

When using someone else’s idea—whether it concerns data interpretation, methodological choices, or theoretical conclusions—a proper citation is mandatory. Even when the idea is further developed by the author, the original source must still be cited, followed by the author’s own elaboration.

When using exact words from another author, both quotation marks and a citation are required. If four or more consecutive words are identical to the source, quotation marks must be used. A citation alone is not sufficient.

Jurnal Syntax Imperatif: Jurnal Ilmu Pendidikan dan Sosial takes academic integrity very seriously. Editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance or publication of any article that violates these standards.
