Plagiarism

All submitted manuscripts must be original works that have not been previously published or simultaneously submitted to other journals. Plagiarism in any form is strictly prohibited.

Jurnal Teknologi Perikanan dan Kelautan (JTPK) checks all submitted manuscripts for originality using the anti-plagiarism software, Turnitin, at two stages: first, at the initial submission before the peer-review process, and again after peer review, prior to publication. The acceptable similarity limit is ≤25%.

If the Turnitin similarity score exceeds 25%, the following actions will be taken:
1. Request for Revision
If the manuscript shows a similarity score above 25%, the author(s) will be notified and required to revise the manuscript. Authors will be asked to reduce the similarity by:
 -  Paraphrasing sections that are excessively similar to the source material.
 -  Properly citing all referenced sources.
 -  Removing problematic sections that cannot be appropriately revised.
2. Direct Rejection for High Similarity
If the similarity level is extremely high or indicates clear plagiarism, the manuscript will be rejected immediately without further review.

Authors are fully responsible for ensuring the originality of their work and for properly citing all sources. By submitting a manuscript to Jurnal Teknologi Perikanan dan Kelautan (JTPK), authors affirm that the work is free from plagiarism and adheres to ethical standards of scholarly publication.
