Screening For Plagiarism

Policy Points in Plagiarism in (DIKDIMAS) Journal

Point 1
Manuscripts sent to us, namely DIKDIMAS, will be filtered using the Turnitin similarity detection tool. DIKDIMAS will reject papers that lead to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Point 2
DIKDIMAS also wants to ensure that all authors are careful and adhere to international standards for academic integrity, particularly in matters of plagiarism.

Point 3
Plagiarism can occur when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without giving the source proper credit. Even if it happens unintentionally, plagiarism is still a very serious academic offense and cannot be accepted in international academic publications.

Point 4
When the author studies specific information (names, dates, places, statistical numbers, or other detailed information) from a particular source, citations are required. (This is only excusable in cases of common knowledge, where data is available in more than five sources or common knowledge)

Point 5
When authors take ideas from other authors, citations are required even if the authors later develop the ideas further. These may be ideas about how to interpret the data, either what methodology to use or what conclusions to draw. These may be ideas about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, the author must cite the source. In cases where the author develops an idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source of the idea, and then in the next sentence, the author can explain his or her more developed idea.

Point 6
It happens that if an author takes the words of another author, quotations and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to the source the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to indicate the other author's original word usage; quotes alone are no longer enough.

Point 7
DIKDIMAS pays great attention to academic integrity, and in this case, the editor has the right to withdraw acceptance from papers found to violate one of the standards set out above. For more information, prospective writers can contact the editor at [email protected]
