Plagiarism Check

PLAGIARISM POLICY

The Editorial Team of the Indonesia Forum on Labor and Productivity (IFLP) acknowledges that plagiarism is unacceptable and therefore establishes the following policy, which specifies the actions (penalties) to be taken if plagiarism is identified in an article submitted for publication in IFLP.

DEFINITION

Plagiarism is the act, whether intentional or unintentional, of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit or value for a scientific work by quoting part or all of another party's work and/or scientific work, which is recognized as a scientific work, without stating the source accurately and adequately.

PLAGIARISM CHECK

All manuscripts submitted to IFLP are subject to plagiarism screening using Turnitin. The maximum similarity index permitted is 25%. Manuscripts with a similarity index above 25% will be returned to the author for revision and resubmission. Further editorial action may be taken depending on the nature and extent of the similarities identified.

Therefore:

  1. Articles must be original, must be unpublished, and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Material taken from other sources must be clearly identified so that it is distinguishable from the original text.

  2. If plagiarism is identified, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for reviewing the article and will approve actions according to the level of plagiarism detected, based on the following guidelines:

    a. Plagiarism of a few short sentences from other articles without citing the source.
    Action: The author is given a warning and is requested to revise the text and cite the source correctly.

    b. Plagiarism of most of another article without proper citation and without citing the source.
    Action: The submitted article is rejected for publication in IFLP, and the author may be penalized by being prohibited from publishing in IFLP.

  3. If an author is proven to have submitted a manuscript to IFLP while simultaneously submitting it to another journal, and this concurrent submission is discovered during the review process or after publication, the action taken shall be in accordance with point 2 above.

  4. If plagiarism is found outside the rules above, the editors of IFLP reserve the right to impose sanctions in accordance with the policy of the editorial team.
