Plagiarism Policy

All manuscripts submitted to Dirasat: Journal of Islamic Studies are subject to plagiarism screening before they proceed to peer review. The Editorial Office may use plagiarism detection tools such as Turnitin, Grammarly, or other reliable similarity-checking software. As a general policy, the journal expects manuscripts to have a similarity index below 20%, excluding bibliography, properly quoted passages, and small matches that are editorially acceptable.

Similarity reports are not assessed solely by percentage. The Editorial Team will examine the nature, location, and extent of overlap to distinguish between acceptable academic citation and unethical practices such as plagiarism, excessive copying, duplicate publication, and text recycling. Manuscripts found to contain serious plagiarism or unethical overlap will be rejected or returned to the authors for correction.
