Plagiarism Policy

Jurnal Bisnis dan Kewirausahaan (JBK) is committed to maintaining the originality, integrity, and academic quality of all published manuscripts. The journal strictly prohibits plagiarism in any form and implements systematic screening procedures to ensure that all submissions meet ethical publishing standards.

1. Plagiarism Screening

All submitted manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software (Turnitin) during the initial editorial evaluation before proceeding to the peer review process. This screening aims to ensure the originality of the manuscript and the proper use of citations.

2. Similarity Threshold

The journal applies the following similarity criteria:

Manuscripts exceeding the acceptable similarity threshold may be:

  • Returned to the authors for revision and correction, or
  • Rejected during the initial editorial screening, depending on the severity of the similarity.

The journal considers the following practices as plagiarism and academic misconduct:

  • Direct copying of text without proper citation
  • Paraphrasing without appropriate attribution
  • Self-plagiarism (reuse of previously published work without acknowledgment)
  • Use of data, ideas, or results from other sources without proper reference

4. Editorial Actions

If plagiarism is detected at any stage of the publication process, the journal may take the following actions:

  • Request revision and resubmission from the authors
  • Reject the manuscript
  • Retract the published article (if plagiarism is identified after publication)
  • Notify the author’s affiliated institution in cases of serious ethical violations

5. Author Responsibility

Authors are fully responsible for ensuring that their submitted manuscripts are original, properly cited, and free from plagiarism. All sources must be acknowledged using appropriate academic referencing standards.
