Plagiarism Policy

The Jurnal Ekonomi dan Pendidikan (JEP) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and publication ethics. All submitted manuscripts must be original, free from plagiarism, and properly acknowledge the ideas, data, and works of other authors through appropriate citations and references. Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their manuscripts before submission.

All submitted manuscripts may be screened by the editorial team using similarity-checking software, such as Turnitin, during the initial editorial assessment and before publication.

Similarity Screening Guideline

≤ 20%

General Guideline

A similarity score of 20% or lower is used as a general screening guideline.

Important: The similarity score alone does not determine whether plagiarism has occurred. Each manuscript is assessed by considering the nature, source, and context of the similarities identified.

SECTION 01

Editorial Action on Plagiarism

If potential plagiarism is identified by editors, reviewers, or editorial staff at any stage of the publication process—including before or after acceptance, during copyediting, or at the proofreading stage—the editorial team will evaluate the case in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policy.

Minor Cases

For inadequate paraphrasing, missing citations, or improperly quoted text, authors may be asked to revise the manuscript, provide appropriate citations, and acknowledge the original sources.

Serious Cases

Substantial unattributed use of another author's work may result in manuscript rejection.

Cases After Publication

If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal may issue a correction or retract the article, depending on the severity of the case. The author's institution may also be notified when warranted.

SECTION 02

Authors' Responsibility

Authors are strongly encouraged to use plagiarism-checking software before submission. However, the use of such software does not replace their responsibility to ensure that their manuscripts comply with academic integrity standards.

SECTION 03

Plagiarism Declaration

Authors submitting manuscripts to the Jurnal Ekonomi dan Pendidikan (JEP) must confirm that their work is original, has not been plagiarized, and appropriately acknowledges all sources used.

Authors may be required to submit a signed statement of originality or plagiarism-free declaration as a supplementary file through the journal's Open Journal Systems (OJS) or by email, in accordance with the journal's submission requirements.
