Screening Plagiarism

The Journal of Religion, Ethics and Organizational Management (JREOM) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and upholding ethical standards in scholarly publishing. The Editorial Board strictly opposes all forms of plagiarism and considers plagiarism to be a serious violation of publication ethics. To ensure the originality and quality of published manuscripts, all submitted articles are screened using Turnitin plagiarism detection software prior to the peer-review process. The maximum acceptable similarity index is 25%. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will be returned to the authors for revision and resubmission.

Plagiarism is defined as the use, imitation, or reproduction of another author’s words, ideas, data, or intellectual work without proper acknowledgment and presenting them as original work. Therefore, manuscripts submitted to JREOM must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration by other journals simultaneously. Any material quoted or adapted from other sources must be clearly indicated through appropriate citation, quotation marks, or proper referencing according to academic writing standards.

JREOM recognizes several levels of plagiarism, including minor, intermediate, and severe plagiarism. Minor plagiarism generally involves limited copying without significant appropriation of ideas and will normally result in a warning and a request for revision. Intermediate plagiarism involves substantial copying without proper attribution and may lead to manuscript rejection and temporary submission restrictions. Severe plagiarism, including the reproduction of significant findings, ideas, or research results from other publications, will result in immediate rejection of the manuscript and may lead to a long-term submission ban.

The journal also considers self-plagiarism unethical. Authors who reuse parts of their previously published work must provide clear acknowledgment and citation of the original publication. Significant overlap with previously published materials without proper disclosure may result in editorial sanctions. Similarly, simultaneous submission of substantially similar manuscripts to multiple journals is prohibited and considered a serious ethical violation.

All authors submitting manuscripts to JREOM are fully responsible for the originality, authenticity, and ethical integrity of their work. Authors are expected to ensure accurate citation practices, obtain copyright permissions when necessary, and comply with all publication ethics policies established by the journal. The Editorial Team is responsible for conducting plagiarism screening, managing ethical issues fairly and transparently, and safeguarding the quality and credibility of the publication process.

This plagiarism policy forms an integral part of JREOM’s publication ethics and reflects the journal’s commitment to promoting responsible, ethical, and high-quality academic research.
