Plagiarism Policy

The Editorial Board of Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis (JEKO) recognizes that plagiarism is unacceptable in scholarly publishing. Therefore, JEKO establishes the following policy to define plagiarism and specify the actions that will be taken when plagiarism is identified in manuscripts submitted for publication.

Definition

Plagiarism involves the use or close imitation of another author's language, ideas, data, images, or intellectual work and presenting them as one's own original work without appropriate acknowledgment or citation.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, copying text, ideas, data, tables, figures, or other intellectual materials without proper attribution, as well as presenting previously published work as new or original.

Policy

Manuscripts submitted to JEKO must be original, must not have been previously published, and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Any material taken verbatim from another source must be clearly distinguished from the original text through appropriate quotation, indentation where applicable, and complete identification of the source.

Any text exceeding the accepted limits of fair scholarly use, generally defined as more than two or three sentences or an equivalent amount of material, as well as any reproduced graphical material from another source, must obtain permission from the copyright holder and, where applicable, the original author. The source must also be clearly identified.

JEKO may use plagiarism-detection software or other appropriate methods to examine submitted manuscripts. The Editorial Board may request clarification from authors when substantial similarity or potential plagiarism is identified.

When plagiarism is identified, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for reviewing the manuscript and determining the appropriate action according to the severity and nature of the plagiarism.

Levels of Plagiarism and Actions

• Minor Plagiarism. A short section of another work is reproduced without appropriate citation, without involving significant data, findings, or ideas from the original work. Action:The authors will receive a warning and will be required to revise the text and provide appropriate citations to the original source.
• Moderate Plagiarism. A substantial portion of the manuscript is reproduced without appropriate citation or acknowledgment of the original source.Action:The submitted manuscript will be rejected, and the authors may be prohibited from submitting manuscripts to JEKO for a period of one year.
• Severe Plagiarism. A substantial or major portion of the manuscript is reproduced from another publication, particularly when it involves the reproduction of original findings, data, results, arguments, or significant ideas presented in another publication. Action:The manuscript will be rejected, and the authors may be prohibited from submitting manuscripts to JEKO for a period of five years.

All authors are considered jointly responsible for the content of the manuscript they submit. If plagiarism is established, all listed authors may be subject to the same editorial sanctions, regardless of their individual position in the authorship order.

If a second case of plagiarism is identified involving the same author(s), the Editorial Board, led by the Editor-in-Chief, will determine the appropriate action. Depending on the seriousness and circumstances of the violation, the author(s) may be permanently prohibited from submitting manuscripts to JEKO.

Self-Plagiarism and Duplicate Publication

This policy also applies to material reproduced from the authors' own previously published works. If an author uses text, figures, tables, data, or other material that has been previously published, the relevant material must be clearly identified and the previous publication must be appropriately cited.

Authors must disclose any substantial overlap between a submitted manuscript and their previously published or simultaneously submitted work. Where necessary, permission from the copyright holder must be obtained.

If an author submits a manuscript to JEKO that substantially overlaps with a manuscript simultaneously submitted to another journal, and such overlap is discovered during peer review or after publication, JEKO may notify the editor of the other journal and treat the matter as a serious publication-ethics violation.

Significant overlap may include the use of identical or substantially similar figures, tables, datasets, results, or text covering approximately half or more of the manuscript. Self-plagiarism involving less than half but more than one-tenth of the manuscript may be treated as moderate plagiarism. If the overlap is limited to the methodology section and does not substantially affect the originality of the research findings, the case may be treated as minor plagiarism, subject to the judgment of the Editorial Board.

Previously Published Material

If authors use previously published material to clarify or support the presentation of new research findings, the previous material must be properly identified and cited, and the differences between the previous publication and the current manuscript must be clearly explained.

Permission to reproduce copyrighted material must be obtained from the relevant copyright holder when required.

For manuscripts originally presented or published in conference proceedings and subsequently submitted to JEKO, the authors must clearly identify the conference proceedings, including the title, date, and publication information. Authors must disclose the extent to which the submitted manuscript differs from the conference version and obtain permission for republication where required.

JEKO reserves the right to reject a manuscript if the extent of overlap with a previously published conference paper or other publication compromises the originality of the submitted work.

Authors may, however, use material from unpublished presentations, including visual materials, in a subsequent journal publication, provided that such use does not violate copyright or other publication rights.

Translated and Republished Articles

If a manuscript submitted to JEKO was originally published in another language, the authors must disclose the title, publication date, journal, and other relevant information regarding the original publication. Appropriate permission from the copyright holder must be obtained where required.

JEKO may consider translated publications only when they provide legitimate scholarly value and are intended to make important research accessible to a broader academic audience. Any such publication must be clearly identified as a translated or republished work.

JEKO may also, at the discretion of the Editorial Board, republish selected historically significant articles to provide a broader scholarly perspective within a particular issue. Such republication must be clearly identified, including the original publication date and journal, and appropriate permission must be obtained from the author(s) and publisher.

Editorial Responsibility

The Editorial Board of Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis (JEKO) is responsible for implementing this plagiarism policy. The editorial team may maintain a record of authors who have been subject to confirmed plagiarism sanctions and may check submitted manuscripts against such records.

If an author who is currently subject to a submission ban is identified in a new submission, the editorial team will notify the Editor-in-Chief, who will determine the appropriate action in accordance with this policy.

This policy is publicly available on the JEKO website and is included as part of the manuscript submission guidelines. Authors are expected to read and understand this policy before submitting a manuscript to JEKO.

By submitting a manuscript to Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis (JEKO), authors confirm that they have read, understood, and agreed to comply with this Plagiarism Policy and all applicable publication-ethics requirements.
