Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism Policy
Ensuring the originality, authenticity, and academic integrity of every published manuscript in the Indonesian Journal of Statistics and Its Applications (IJSA).
Similarity Screening
We take publication ethics very seriously. All submitted manuscripts are subjected to a rigorous preliminary similarity check using industry-standard plagiarism detection software (such as Turnitin or iThenticate) before they are sent for peer review.
20% Tolerance
The maximum overall similarity index allowed for a manuscript is strictly set at 20% (excluding references). Submissions exceeding this limit will be promptly returned to the authors for revision or outright rejected by the editorial board.
Definitions and Consequences
Plagiarism involves the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. This includes, but is not limited to, copying text, ideas, images, or data without proper attribution.
Self-plagiarism (or text recycling), where an author reuses significant portions of their own previously published work without appropriate citation, is also strictly prohibited and treated with the same severity.
In accordance with the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), if plagiarism is proven after an article has been published, IJSA reserves the right to issue a formal correction or, in severe cases, permanently retract the article from the journal platform.
