Plagiarism Screening Policy

JUPSI is committed to upholding academic integrity by implementing a strict zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and all forms of publication misconduct. Every submitted manuscript undergoes an originality screening using recognized plagiarism detection software before entering the double-blind peer-review process. As a general guideline, the overall similarity index should not exceed 15%, excluding properly cited quotations, references, and standard methodological descriptions. Editorial decisions are based not only on the similarity percentage but also on the context and significance of the matched content. In handling publication ethics issues, JUPSI refers to the guidance published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
