Plagiarism Policy

The Indonesian Journal of Computer Science Research (IJCSR) is dedicated to upholding academic integrity and preventing plagiarism and ethical misconduct in scholarly publications. We place a strong emphasis on authors familiarizing themselves with publication ethics and adhering to them before submitting their manuscripts. As part of this commitment, we require authors to include a signed originality statement when submitting their articles. In cases where plagiarism is identified, we have established specific measures and actions to address the issue.

Plagiarism Definition

When somebody presents the work of others (data, words, or theories) as if they were his/her own and without proper acknowledgment.

Sentences that surpass the fair use standards (as defined here, referring to more than three sentences or their equivalent without proper citation) or any graphical content reproduced from external sources without obtaining permission from the copyright holder and, if applicable, the original author may be considered instances of plagiarism.

Articles submitted to The Indonesian Journal of Computer Science Research (IJCSR) must be original, unpublished, not a translation, and not under consideration by any other publisher or media elsewhere.

Similarity Index & Evaluation

We use Turnitin to evaluate each manuscript submission. The Editorial team will not tolerate plagiarism and ethical misconduct in scholarly work from the submitted manuscripts based on the following provisions:

  1. Similarity more than 40%: Declined Submission and NO RESUBMISSION accepted.
  2. Similarity between 25-40%: The editorial informs the author for major improvement, or if the similarity tends to be high and contains plagiarism, the manuscript is potentially rejected.
  3. Similarity less than 25%: Accepted submission but may require minor improvement.

In cases 2 and 3, the authors should revise the article carefully by improving citations and paraphrasing of the referenced source. Then the author(s) are welcome to resubmit the article with a report showing NO PLAGIARISM and a similarity of less than 25%.
