Plagiarism Check
All manuscripts submitted to Siklus: Jurnal Mahasiswa will undergo a similarity check using Turnitin.
The maximum acceptable similarity index is 20%. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding this threshold will not be processed to the next stage.
If the similarity index exceeds 20%, then:
- The manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.
- The author is required to revise the manuscript and reduce the similarity index in accordance with the journal’s requirements.
- The revised manuscript must be resubmitted for a new similarity check.
The editor reserves the right to reject the manuscript if:
- The similarity index remains above the acceptable threshold after revision, or
- There is clear evidence of plagiarism, including but not limited to improper citation or unattributed copying.
This policy is implemented to uphold academic integrity and ensure the quality of scholarly publications.
