Plagiarism prior to publication

The Indonesian Journal of Community Service (JPMI) will assess each case of plagiarism based on its own capabilities. If plagiarism is detected, either by the editor, peer reviewers, or editorial staff at any stage prior to manuscript publication—before or after acceptance, during editing, or at the proof stage—we will notify the author, asking them to rewrite the text or to properly cite the text and cite the original source. If the plagiarism is extensive—that is, if at least 20% of the original submission is identical—the article may be rejected and the author's institution/company will be notified.

“PLAGIARISM” can occur in two forms: 1) authors deliberately copying the work of others and claiming it as their own, or 2) authors copying their own previously published material in whole or in part without providing appropriate references - also referred to as “self-plagiarism” or “duplicate publication”.

When is plagiarism checked?

Every manuscript submitted to the Indonesian Community Service Journal (JPMI) will be checked for plagiarism after being submitted to JPMI. Plagiarism checks are carried out using Turnitin software and after being sent to the editor for editorial review.

How is plagiarism checked?

The Indonesian Journal of Community Service (JPMI) uses Turnitin Software to detect identical or similar text in submitted manuscripts. Turnitin is a browser-based web service that verifies the authenticity of documents.

Plagiarism

It is possible that manuscripts cannot be freely accessed by article indexing services due to restrictions by programmers, journals, or publishers; or they may be available on the journal's website but not yet indexed by article indexing services. In such cases, when plagiarism checks are performed, the content of the manuscript being checked cannot be compared with the original manuscript due to restrictions, and plagiarism will not be detected.
