Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarisme Policy

The Jurnal Sosiologi Reflektif (JSR) is committed to upholding academic integrity, research originality, and ethical publishing practices in accordance with the principles and guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

All submitted manuscripts undergo similarity screening, with an overall similarity index required to be below 15%. However, similarity scores are not the sole determinant of plagiarism. Editorial assessments also consider the nature, context, sources, and extent of textual overlap.

The journal strictly prohibits all forms of plagiarism, including the unauthorized use of text, ideas, research findings, data, images, tables, or other scholarly materials without proper acknowledgment. Inadequate paraphrasing, self-plagiarism, and redundant publication without appropriate citation or disclosure are equally unacceptable.

Authors are fully responsible for maintaining the originality of their articles, ensuring the accuracy of all citations and references, and adhering to relevant copyright laws and licensing requirements. The reproduction or adaptation of copyrighted materials must be accompanied by proper attribution and, when applicable, prior authorization from the copyright holder.

The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in academic publishing must comply with recognized ethical standards and publication guidelines. AI-based tools must not be used to generate plagiarized material, create fictitious references, or misrepresent the originality of scholarly work. Authors remain entirely accountable for the accuracy, originality, and academic integrity of their articles and are required to transparently disclose any AI assistance in accordance with the journal's established policies.

Any suspected plagiarism or violations of publication ethics will be reviewed and addressed in accordance with the policies and ethical guidelines established by Jurnal Sosiologi Reflektif.

AI Writing Detection Policy

Jurnal Sosiologi Reflektif (JSR) does not establish a specific AI writing detection percentage threshold as the sole criterion for determining manuscript eligibility. AI detection results are treated as supplementary information that requires further editorial examination and judgment. This approach recognizes the limitations of AI detection tools, including their potential inaccuracies and the risk of misclassifying entirely human-written texts. Manuscript evaluation remains grounded in the originality of arguments, analytical quality, data integrity, reference validity, and compliance with scholarly publication ethics.
