Screening For Plagiarism Policy

The Editorial Board of Jurnal Teknik Mesin dan Industri considers plagiarism unacceptable. This policy sets out the actions to be taken when plagiarism or excessive similarity is identified in manuscripts submitted to the journal.

Jurnal Prakarsa Paedagogia uses Turnitin to check for textual similarity in both submitted manuscripts and final versions accepted for publication. Submissions may have a similarity index of no more than 20%. Any manuscript that exceeds 20% will be returned to the author for revision and resubmission.

Definition:

Plagiarism involves the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work."

Policy:

Papers must be original, unpublished, and not pending publication elsewhere. Any material taken verbatim from another source needs to be clearly identified as different from the present original text by (1) indentation, (2) use of quotation marks, and (3) identification of the source.

Any text of an amount exceeding fair use standards (herein defined as more than two or three sentences or the equivalent thereof) or any graphic material reproduced from another source requires permission from the copyright holder and, if feasible, the original author(s) and also requires identification of the source; e.g., previous publication.
