PLAGIARISM

All manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Buana Teknologi Pendidikan are expected to represent original scholarly work and must appropriately acknowledge the ideas, words, data, figures, and other materials derived from previous publications.

The editorial team may screen submitted manuscripts using Turnitin or other appropriate similarity-detection methods as part of the journal's initial editorial assessment.

As a general editorial requirement, manuscripts should have an overall similarity score of no more than 20%. Authors may be requested to revise passages with excessive or inappropriate textual overlap before the manuscript proceeds further in the editorial process.

A similarity percentage is used as a screening indicator and is not, by itself, a determination of plagiarism. Editors assess the nature, source, context, and extent of textual overlap before making an editorial decision.

Plagiarism includes presenting another person's words, ideas, data, findings, images, or other intellectual contributions as one's own without appropriate acknowledgment.

Plagiarism may include direct copying, inappropriate paraphrasing, unattributed reproduction of figures or data, substantial textual overlap, duplicate publication, and inappropriate reuse of previously published material.

• Submitted manuscripts must be original and must not be under consideration by another journal at the same time.
• Words, ideas, data, figures, tables, and other materials derived from other sources must be appropriately acknowledged and cited.
• Verbatim material must be clearly identified and properly attributed where applicable.
• Authors are responsible for obtaining any necessary permission to reproduce copyrighted material.
• Previously published work by the same author must also be appropriately cited and disclosed when reused.
• Authors must disclose related publications or manuscripts where substantial overlap may exist.

Reuse of an author's own previously published material must be transparent and appropriately referenced. Substantial duplication of previously published content without disclosure may constitute redundant publication or inappropriate text recycling.

Limited overlap may be acceptable in specific circumstances, such as descriptions of established methods, provided that the previous source is properly acknowledged and the reuse does not misrepresent previously published material as new research.

If a manuscript is based on work that has previously appeared in conference proceedings, another language, a pre-existing publication, or another form of scholarly dissemination, authors must clearly disclose the previous publication or presentation and explain how the submitted manuscript differs from or extends that work.

Where required, authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate copyright permission before reproducing previously published material.

If plagiarism, redundant publication, or another serious integrity concern is discovered after publication, the journal will assess the matter and may issue an appropriate correction, expression of concern, retraction, or other post-publication notice.

Such cases are handled in accordance with the journal's Corrections, Retractions, and Withdrawals Policy and Publication Ethics Policy. Published material will not be silently removed from the scholarly record except where exceptional legal, privacy, or safety considerations require otherwise.

• there is clear evidence that published findings are unreliable because of misconduct or serious error;
• the findings have previously been published elsewhere without appropriate disclosure, permission, cross-reference, or justification;
• the publication contains plagiarism or serious misappropriation of intellectual work; or
• the article reports research that does not meet applicable ethical standards.

The journal may consider issuing an expression of concern when:

• there is inconclusive evidence of research or publication misconduct;
• there are substantial concerns regarding the reliability of the findings but an investigation has not been completed;
• an investigation appears unlikely to reach a fair or conclusive determination; or
• an investigation is ongoing and a final determination is expected to take a considerable period of time.

A correction may be considered when:

• a limited portion of an otherwise reliable publication contains a significant error or misleading information; or
• the published author or contributor information is materially incorrect.
