Plagiarism Policy

Scientific Journal of Information System (SJIS) maintains a strict policy against plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty.

All submitted manuscripts must represent original scholarly work and must properly acknowledge the intellectual contributions of others.

Similarity Screening

Submitted manuscripts are screened for text similarity using [INSERT VERIFIED SOFTWARE, SUCH AS TURNITIN].

Similarity reports are evaluated by the editorial team. A similarity percentage alone does not establish plagiarism, as properly cited quotations, standard terminology, references, and methodological descriptions may contribute to similarity scores.

The journal's operational similarity threshold, where applicable, is [INSERT VERIFIED THRESHOLD OR STATE THAT ASSESSMENT IS CASE-BY-CASE].

Types of Plagiarism

Plagiarism includes:

- Copying text without proper acknowledgment.
- Presenting another researcher's ideas, data, or results as one's own.
- Inappropriate paraphrasing without attribution.
- Duplicate or redundant publication.
- Substantial undisclosed reuse of previously published material.

Editorial Actions

Where minor citation or attribution problems are found, the editor may request corrections.

Manuscripts involving substantial plagiarism may be rejected following editorial assessment.

Plagiarism identified after publication may result in a correction, expression of concern, or retraction, depending on the evidence and seriousness of the issue.

Authors will be given an appropriate opportunity to respond to allegations before a final editorial decision is reached.
