Plagiarism Checking

Plagiarism Checking Policy Jurnal As-Sunni

Jurnal As-Sunni upholds academic integrity and is fully committed to maintaining high standards of originality in scholarly publishing. Every manuscript submitted to the journal undergoes a plagiarism screening process as an essential step before entering peer review.

All submissions are checked using plagiarism detection software to identify similarities with previously published works, internet sources, and academic databases. This process ensures that the manuscript represents the author’s original contribution and that all sources have been properly cited.

Acceptable Similarity Level

Manuscripts should demonstrate a high level of originality. As a general guideline, similarity scores should not exceed the acceptable threshold determined by the editorial policy. However, similarity percentages are not judged solely by numbers; the Editorial Team carefully examines the similarity report to distinguish between properly cited material, common terminology, and potential plagiarism.

Forms of Plagiarism Considered Unethical

Jurnal As-Sunni considers the following practices unacceptable:

* Copying text, ideas, data, or results from other works without proper acknowledgment

* Self-plagiarism (reusing substantial parts of one’s own published work without citation)

* Paraphrasing someone else’s work without attribution

* Submitting a manuscript that has been previously published elsewhere without disclosure

Editorial Actions

If a manuscript shows indications of plagiarism:

* The author will be asked to revise the manuscript and properly cite sources, or

* The submission may be rejected if plagiarism is considered serious

If plagiarism is detected after publication, the journal may issue corrections, retractions, or other appropriate actions in accordance with publication ethics.

Author Responsibility

Authors are fully responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original and free from plagiarism. Proper citation and referencing practices must be followed consistently.

Through this policy, Jurnal As-Sunni aims to protect the credibility of scholarly communication and foster a culture of honesty, transparency, and ethical research practice.
