The Journal of Islamic Education Management (JIEM) upholds high standards of scholarly publication ethics and, therefore, has a zero-tolerance policy towards plagiarism. Every manuscript submitted to JIEM, without exception, will undergo a rigorous plagiarism screening process before proceeding to the peer-review stage. We utilize leading and sophisticated text similarity detection software to identify potential plagiarism, including unintentional similarities, self-plagiarism, and duplicate publications. The primary goal of this screening is to ensure the authenticity, originality, and integrity of every scholarly work considered for publication.
The screening process begins immediately after the manuscript is received through the journal's online system. The results of the screening will be evaluated by the editors. If a high level of similarity or strong indications of plagiarism are found, the manuscript will be immediately rejected and returned to the authors without undergoing the peer-review process. The acceptable similarity threshold is determined internally by the editorial team based on industry guidelines and best practices. Authors are expected to ensure that all sources used in their manuscripts are properly cited and referenced according to the 7th edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) style, to avoid inappropriate text similarities.
JIEM explicitly reminds authors of the importance of academic integrity. Authors are solely responsible for the authenticity and originality of their work. Any attempt to manipulate plagiarism screening results or conceal sources will lead to the rejection of the manuscript and potential blacklisting of the authors from future submissions to this journal. This plagiarism screening policy is an integral part of JIEM's commitment to maintaining quality and trust in scholarly publications, and to ensure that published contributions are the result of honest and original research.
