Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

All manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Inovasi dan Karya Teknologi Informasi (JIKTEKS) will be screened for plagiarism using iThenticate plagiarism detection tools. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism or self-plagiarism will be immediately rejected.

Prior to peer review, all submissions are checked for similarity by the editorial team. Manuscripts must have a similarity index below 20%, and the similarity for any individual source must not exceed 3%.

Plagiarism is defined as presenting another person’s ideas or words as one’s own without permission, proper credit, or acknowledgment, including failure to cite original sources. Plagiarism can take several forms, from literal copying to improper paraphrasing, as detailed below:

• Literal Copying: Direct word-for-word copying of another author’s work, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledgment, or citation.

• Substantial Copying: Reproducing a significant portion of another author’s work without proper permission, acknowledgment, or citation. “Significant” refers to both the quantity and importance of the copied content.

• Paraphrasing: Rewriting ideas, words, or phrases from another source. This constitutes plagiarism if the original source is not properly cited or acknowledged. Paraphrasing plagiarism is often more difficult to detect.
