The Indonesian Journal of Islamic Law (IJIL) maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and academic misconduct.
1. Definition
Plagiarism is using or closely imitating another author's language, structure, or ideas and claiming them as one's own. This includes:
• Direct copying of text without proper quotation and citation is considered plagiarism.
• Inadequate paraphrasing of another work, even when cited, falls under this category.
• The act of reproducing figures, tables, or graphics without obtaining permission and acknowledgement is also prohibited.
• Self-plagiarism occurs when an author publishes their own previously published work twice or more without disclosing it.
All articles submitted to IJIL must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere.
2. Acceptable Use of Sources
• Any verbatim text from another source must be clearly distinguished through quotation marks or block indentation and proper citation.
• Any material (text, tables, or figures) that exceeds fair use standards requires permission from the copyright holder and proper attribution.
3. Similarity Check
All submitted manuscripts are screened for similarity using Turnitin and Drillbit Plagiarism Evaluation.
• The acceptable similarity index is below 15% (excluding bibliography and common phrases).
• The editorial team will carefully evaluate reports exceeding this threshold.
4. Actions and Penalties
When plagiarism is detected, IJIL will act according to the severity of the case:
• Similarity Index above 40% → Automatic rejection with no resubmission permitted.
• Similarity Index 20–40% → Returned to the author for revision (proper citations and paraphrasing required). The document must be resubmitted along with a new similarity report.
• Similarity Index <20% → May be accepted, but authors may still be required to improve citations and paraphrasing.
® In addition:
• Cases of serious plagiarism or repeated offences may result in article rejection, retraction of published work, and/or notification to the author’s institution.
5. Ethical Standards
• IJIL follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
• Failure to comply with this policy constitutes a breach of publication ethics.
• IJIL reserves the right to issue retractions, corrections, or notifications in cases of confirmed plagiarism, even after publication.
