Plagiarim Policy

At Jurnal Teknik Kimia dan Lingkungan, we uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. Ensuring that all submitted work is free from plagiarism is a critical part of maintaining the quality and credibility of our journal. This plagiarism policy outlines the guidelines and procedures to prevent and address plagiarism in submissions to our journal.

Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of using another person's words, ideas, or findings without proper attribution, presenting them as one's own original work. Plagiarism can take various forms, including but not limited to:

  • Direct Plagiarism: Copying text verbatim from another source without quotation marks or proper citation.
  • Self-Plagiarism: Reusing significant portions of one's own previously published work without acknowledgment.
  • Mosaic Plagiarism: Blending copied material from various sources without proper citations.
  • Accidental Plagiarism: Unintentionally failing to cite sources or misquoting them.

Policy Guidelines

  1. Originality Requirement: All manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Teknik Kimia dan Lingkungan must be original works and must not have been published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

  2. Proper Citation: Authors must ensure that all sources of information and ideas are properly cited in their manuscripts. This includes direct quotations, paraphrases, and any ideas or data that are not originally from the authors.

  3. Plagiarism Detection: All submitted manuscripts will be screened for plagiarism using plagiarism detection software. Manuscripts that exceed a certain threshold of similarity will be reviewed in detail and may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected outright.

    • Minor Similarity: In cases where similarity is minor (e.g., a few sentences), authors will be asked to revise their manuscript and properly cite the sources.
