Screening for Plagiarism

Jurnal Perpajakan dan Moneter (JPM) is a member of CrossRef and a participant in SimilarityCheck, a multi-publisher plagiarism-prevention initiative that screens published and submitted content for originality. All publications are indexed and checked. The journal uses iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping or similar text in submitted manuscripts. If plagiarism is identified, the COPE guidelines on plagiarism will be followed. A maximum of 20% similarity is allowed for the submitted papers. If we find more than 20% similarity, the article will be returned to the author for correction 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Papers must be original, unpublished, and not pending publication elsewhere.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.
