Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy

Humanika: Kajian Ilmiah Mata Kuliah Umum

 

Humanika: Kajian Ilmiah Mata Kuliah Umum maintains a strict policy against plagiarism and other forms of publication misconduct. All manuscripts must be original, properly referenced, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

01 Definition and Prevention

Plagiarism is the use of another person's words, ideas, data, findings, or other intellectual work without appropriate acknowledgement. It includes direct copying, inadequate paraphrasing, unattributed translation, and the reproduction of tables, figures, or other materials without proper citation or permission where required.

Self-plagiarism occurs when authors reuse substantial portions of their own previously published work without appropriate citation or disclosure. Duplicate publication, redundant publication, and simultaneous submission to multiple journals are also prohibited.

Authors must identify all sources accurately, distinguish quotations from their own writing, provide appropriate citations, and obtain permission for copyrighted material whenever necessary.

02 Similarity Screening

All manuscripts submitted to Humanika are subject to similarity screening using Turnitin or other appropriate similarity-detection software. The editorial team evaluates the similarity report, including the overall similarity index, the sources of matching text, citation practices, and the nature and context of the overlap.

The similarity index is an initial screening indicator and does not, by itself, establish whether plagiarism has occurred. Properly cited quotations, references, standard terminology, and common methodological expressions must be assessed in context.

Humanika applies the following editorial guidelines:

Similarity index below 10%

The manuscript may proceed to the next editorial stage if its citations and attribution are appropriate. Additional corrections may still be required.

Similarity index of 10–30%

The manuscript is returned to the authors for careful revision of citations, quotations, and paraphrasing. The revised manuscript may be screened again before further editorial consideration.

Similarity index of 31–40%

The manuscript undergoes further editorial assessment. Depending on the extent and nature of the overlap, the editor may request substantial revision or reject the manuscript.

Similarity index above 40%

The manuscript is normally rejected at the initial screening stage because of the high level of textual overlap. The editor may consider the circumstances and nature of the matches when determining the appropriate action.

03 Editorial Actions and Author Responsibilities

When potential plagiarism is identified, the editor evaluates the available evidence and determines the appropriate action in proportion to the seriousness of the concern. Possible actions include requesting clarification, requiring corrections to citations and paraphrasing, requesting a revised similarity report, rejecting the manuscript, or initiating further investigation in accordance with the journal's publication ethics procedures.

Authors are responsible for the originality and integrity of their submissions. They must ensure that all borrowed ideas, words, data, and materials are appropriately acknowledged and that the manuscript complies with Humanika's publication ethics requirements.

If plagiarism or other serious publication misconduct is discovered after publication, Humanika may take appropriate corrective action, including issuing a correction, retracting the article, or notifying the relevant institution, where warranted.

This policy also applies to material previously published by the same authors. Any reuse must be transparently disclosed, appropriately cited, and supported by permission where required. Manuscripts substantially overlapping with other published or simultaneously submitted works may be rejected.
