The Jurnal Mediasi Hubungan Internasional highly values academic integrity and is fully committed to preventing all forms of plagiarism. Therefore, every manuscript submitted for publication will undergo a strict plagiarism screening process. This policy is implemented to ensure that all published articles are the original work of the authors and do not contain duplication or unattributed use of other sources. Authors are expected to fully adhere to publication ethics principles, including avoiding self-plagiarism and ensuring that all ideas, data, or quotations taken from others' works are properly attributed. Plagiarism, in any form, is considered a serious violation of scientific ethics and can lead to manuscript rejection, or even retraction of publication if already published.
To conduct this screening, the Jurnal Mediasi Hubungan Internasional utilizes leading plagiarism detection software. After a manuscript is received through the online submission system, it will be uploaded to this software to generate a similarity report. This report will then be carefully analyzed by the editorial team. A high degree of similarity with other sources, or strong indications of plagiarism, will trigger further review by the editors. Decisions regarding the action to be taken—whether it's a request for revision, rejection, or other measures—will be based on the severity and nature of the detected plagiarism.
Authors will be informed of the plagiarism screening results if significant concerns are identified. In some cases, authors may be given the opportunity to clarify or revise problematic sections. However, if the detected plagiarism is substantial or intentional, the manuscript will be immediately rejected. The journal is committed to upholding the reputation and trust of the scientific community, thus any attempt at plagiarism will be handled seriously. This policy is an integral part of our review and publication process to ensure the quality and originality of every published article.
