Plagiarism Policy

1. Articles submitted to Ilmu Ushuluddin will be filtered using Turnitin software, with a maximum of 20% similarities permitted.
2. For articles that have more than 20% similarity, the editor's actions are as follows:
   • If the article is very likely to be published (suitability of aim and scope, novelty, scientific contribution), then the editor will ask the author to make revisions.
   • If the article does not meet the standards (suitability of aim and scope, novelty, scientific contribution) then the article will be rejected immediately.
3. Plagiarism includes:
   • Word-for-word plagiarism – borrowing another author's language word-for-word but not putting it in quotation marks or citing it correctly.
   • Source plagiarism – using the ideas of others without giving recognition or citing the source explicitly.
   • Plagiarism of authorship – presenting another author's work as one's own.
   • Self-plagiarism - authors publishing an article in more than one journal by recycling papers. The important issue related to self-plagiarism is that when citing one's own work, significant changes must have been made to the new article. The previous article should only contain a small percentage of any new article produced. So readers will receive new information, which may be inspired by but different from the previous articles.
