Plagiarism Notice

Plagiarism Notice

Jurnal Ilmu Keluarga dan Konsumen (JIKK) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and ensuring that all authors comply with standards of ethical research and scholarly writing.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of:

• taking part or all of another person's work without properly acknowledging the source;

• rewriting part or all of another person's work without using one's own language, even when the source is cited; and

• taking part or all of one's own previously published work or ideas without properly acknowledging the source.

Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic integrity and is unacceptable in scholarly publication.

When an author obtains specific information (such as a name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information) from a specific source, the source must be cited. This does not apply to information that is generally known or considered common knowledge, e.g., the fact that Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world.

When an author uses an idea from another author, the source must be cited, even if the author further develops the idea. This may include an idea about how to interpret data, which methodology to use, what conclusion to draw, or broader developments in a field. When an author develops an idea further, the original source of the idea should still be acknowledged.

When an author uses words from another author, the source must be cited and the use of the original words must be clearly indicated as a quotation. Authors should not present another author's words as their own, even when the source is cited.

Similarity Checking

JIKK uses a similarity-checking application as part of the initial assessment of submitted manuscripts.

The percentage of similarity identified by a similarity-checking application does not necessarily represent plagiarism. Similarity results are evaluated by considering the source, location, extent, and nature of the identified similarities. Similarities resulting from legitimate direct quotations, references, commonly used technical terms, names of variables or instruments, and other acceptable uses are not necessarily considered plagiarism.

A manuscript may be subject to further examination when the similarity is significant and/or when a relatively large portion of text shows similarity to a particular source, particularly where the similarity cannot be justified as a legitimate quotation or other acceptable use.

Handling of Plagiarism and Academic Integrity Violations

JIKK takes academic integrity seriously. Suspected plagiarism and other academic integrity violations are handled through a transparent and documented process, which may include:

1. preliminary examination of the available evidence;

2. clarification from the relevant author(s);

3. investigation, when necessary;

4. decision-making by the Editorial Team; and

5. appropriate corrective action.

Corrective action may include:

• Correction, when the issue does not affect the reliability of the main findings or conclusions;

• Retraction, when plagiarism or another serious integrity violation makes the data, findings, or conclusions unreliable; or

• Withdrawal, when the manuscript has not yet been formally published as an article.

Further details regarding the handling of academic integrity violations, including research misconduct, corrections, retractions, and withdrawals, are provided in JIKK's Publication Ethics.
