Jurnal Fajar Nusantara is committed to academic integrity and the originality of scholarly work. Every manuscript submitted will undergo a plagiarism check before being sent for peer review.

Check Procedure:

1. Detection Tools: The plagiarism check is performed using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin, iThenticate, or other equivalent tools.

2. Tolerance Limits:

   • The maximum allowed total similarity rate is 20%.

   • Similarity from a single source must not exceed 3% (except for direct quotes with proper references).

   • References are not considered as similarity.

3. Actions for Violations:

   • If the plagiarism rate exceeds the limit, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision or directly rejected, depending on the severity.

   • If serious plagiarism is found (e.g., copying without attribution from another work), the author will be blacklisted and will not be allowed to submit to this journal again.

4. Self-Plagiarism: Authors are not allowed to reuse substantial parts of their previous works without proper citation or the editor's permission.

Note:

Plagiarism checks are performed at two stages:

• Initial stage (pre-review)

• Final stage (pre-publication)

This policy is implemented to maintain scientific quality and promote a culture of honest and responsible research.
