Plagiarism Policy

The peer-review process plays a vital role in maintaining the quality and integrity of scholarly publishing. The Journal of Nusantara Education (JONED) is committed to ensuring a transparent and rigorous peer-review process. The journal also upholds ethical publishing standards and takes appropriate measures to address publication misconduct, particularly plagiarism.

What Is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the wrongful appropriation or use of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions and presenting them as one's own original work. It constitutes academic misconduct and violates scholarly publication ethics.

Note for Authors

JONED does not tolerate plagiarism or duplicate submissions. Authors are strongly encouraged to carefully check their manuscripts before submission and use appropriate similarity-checking software as a preliminary screening measure. However, similarity-checking tools are not entirely reliable, and their reports should be interpreted carefully. Authors remain responsible for ensuring the originality of their work and properly acknowledging all sources.

JONED Plagiarism Policy

JONED screens submitted manuscripts for textual similarity as part of its publication process. If potential plagiarism or other forms of publication misconduct are identified by editors, reviewers, or editorial staff at any stage, the manuscript may be returned for clarification, rejected, or subjected to further action in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies. The decision will depend on the nature and severity of the concerns, the context of the similarities, and the author's explanation where appropriate.

Crossref Similarity Check Powered by iThenticate

Crossref Similarity Check is a multi-publisher initiative that helps publishers screen submitted and published content for textual overlap and potential originality concerns. JONED uses iThenticate to identify similarities between submitted manuscripts and existing sources. Similarity reports support editorial assessment but do not, by themselves, establish whether plagiarism has occurred. Editors evaluate the reports in context to determine whether the similarities reflect properly cited material, common expressions, or potential publication misconduct.
