Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic ethics and scientific integrity. The editorial board of JURUTERA is fully committed to ensuring that all published articles are free from plagiarism.

Definition of Plagiarism:

Plagiarism refers to copying or using the work of others without proper acknowledgment, including but not limited to:

• Copying sentences, paragraphs, or illustrations without proper citation

• Presenting others’ ideas or findings as one’s own

• Self-plagiarism by republishing one’s own previously published work without disclosure

Screening Process:

All submitted manuscripts will be screened using plagiarism detection software (such as Turnitin, iThenticate, or similar). The maximum allowable similarity index is 20%, excluding properly cited quotations and references.

Editorial Action:

If plagiarism is detected:

• Before publication: the manuscript will be rejected or returned for revision

• After publication: the article may be retracted, and the author may face academic sanctions

Authors are solely responsible for the originality of their submissions.
