Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism detection is a widespread challenge that transcends individual journals and publishers, necessitating a collaborative approach across the publishing industry. To address this, Crossref and the STM publishing community introduced the Crossref Similarity Check in 2008, a tool designed to help editors confirm the originality of submitted manuscripts. This service leverages the iThenticate software by iParadigms, also known for creating Turnitin, to scan articles for similar content. For more detailed information on the types of plagiarism and how they are identified, click this link.
JEMA: Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen utilizes the iThenticate software to review all submissions, producing a similarity report that details the extent of text overlap between the submitted article and existing published works. Instances of overlap are closely examined for potential plagiarism in line with the journal's editorial guidelines. A manuscript may be eligible for consideration if it has an overall similarity score of 20% or less. However, this initial score is subject to additional scrutiny, focusing on specific criteria to ensure compliance with the standards of originality and integrity set by the journal.
In the process of plagiarism detection, a meticulous strategy is employed to ensure thoroughness, particularly through the use of the Content Tracking mode in the iThenticate software, defined here as Low Text Similarity. This approach is adept at identifying manuscripts that, while having a low overall similarity percentage, might contain segments that closely resemble material from a singular source. A specific threshold has been established where if the similarity from any one source exceeds 5%, the manuscript is required to be revised by the author for proper attribution and paraphrasing. Furthermore, a manuscript might still be considered plagiarized if it comprises a patchwork of content from multiple sources, despite having a low overall similarity score. This policy underscores the critical importance of maintaining originality throughout the manuscript, ensuring that all content is genuinely reflective of the author's work and properly cited.
In certain cases, a manuscript might show a low overall similarity score but have a significant portion of text—up to 15%—matching a single existing article. This situation exceeds the allowable limit for text similarity from one source (we classified it as High Text Similiarity). Authors of such manuscripts are encouraged to carefully revise the text to decrease the similarity, ensuring they properly acknowledge the original source. This step is crucial for avoiding issues of plagiarism and copyright infringement, maintaining the integrity of scholarly publishing.
