Plagiarism Screening Policy

Plagiarism Screening Policy

Jurnal Studi Ilmu-ilmu al-Qur'an dan Hadis

Faculty of Ushuluddin and Islamic Thought, Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta

1. Purpose

Jurnal Studi Ilmu-ilmu al-Qur'an dan Hadis applies plagiarism screening to protect originality, proper attribution, and scholarly integrity in Qur'anic and hadith studies. This policy explains how the journal checks manuscripts for textual overlap, unattributed borrowing, improper paraphrasing, translation plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and other forms of unethical reuse.

Plagiarism screening is part of editorial assessment, not a mechanical decision. Similarity reports are reviewed by editors in context because some overlap may occur in references, Qur'anic verses, hadith texts, transliterations, quotations, institutional names, and standard academic terminology. The editor determines whether overlap is acceptable, requires correction, or indicates a serious ethical problem.

2. What the Journal Screens

The journal may check manuscripts for direct copying, close paraphrasing without acknowledgement, excessive text recycling, duplicate publication, fabricated references, misleading citation, and the unattributed use of tables, figures, translations, manuscript descriptions, fieldwork materials, archival data, or digital sources.

Because the journal publishes research involving Arabic, Indonesian, Malay, Javanese, and other languages relevant to Islamic studies, plagiarism may also occur through translation. Authors must acknowledge the source of translated ideas, arguments, quotations, interpretations, and textual evidence, even when the wording has been changed into another language.

3. Editorial Procedure

Manuscripts may be screened at submission, before peer review, during revision, before acceptance, or after publication if a concern is raised. If possible plagiarism or problematic overlap is found, the editor may request clarification, ask the author to revise the manuscript, consult another editor, reject the manuscript, or begin a publication ethics inquiry.

Minor overlap that does not affect originality may be handled through correction, clearer quotation, or improved citation. Serious overlap, undisclosed duplicate submission, fabricated references, or plagiarism involving the main argument, evidence, translation, or data may lead to rejection. If plagiarism is identified after publication, the journal may issue a correction, expression of concern, or retraction according to its Correction and Retraction Policy.

4. Author Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for submitting original and properly cited work. Direct wording from another source must be placed in quotation marks or formatted as a quotation. Paraphrased ideas, translated passages, manuscript information, source identifications, and interpretive claims must be cited accurately.

Authors must disclose any prior version of the work, including thesis chapters, conference papers, preprints, institutional reports, or related publications. Authors must not use generative AI, paraphrasing tools, or translation tools to conceal plagiarism or to rewrite another scholar's work without attribution.

5. Contact

Questions or concerns about plagiarism screening should be sent to the editorial office at jurnalqurdis@uin-suka.ac.id. Reports should include the manuscript or article title, a clear description of the concern, and supporting evidence where available.
