Plagiarism Policy
All manuscripts will be checked to be free from plagiarism practices provided by Crossref and powered by iThenticate—Similarity Check. The manuscript will be instantly rejected if there is an indication of plagiarism or a high similarity report, and it will be returned to the authors for correction. A manuscript is considered to have high similarity if, after excluding quotes and the bibliography, it has more than 20% similarity to a single source and more than 25% to all sources. Authors whose papers are rejected will be informed of the reasons for the rejection.
OPHIOLITE: Jurnal Geologi Terapan wants to ensure that all authors are careful and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly regarding plagiarism.
Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without proper credit to the source. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and unacceptable in international academic publications.
A citation is required when the author learns specific information (e.g., a name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information) from a specific source.
When the author takes an idea from another author, a citation is required, even if the author develops the idea further. This might be an idea about how to interpret the data, either what methodology to use or what conclusion to draw. It might be about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, authors should cite their sources. In cases where the author develops the idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source of the idea. Then, in a subsequent sentence, the author can explain her or his more developed idea.
When the author takes words from another author, citations and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to denote the use of another author's original words; just a citation is no longer enough.
OPHIOLITE: Jurnal Geologi Terapan takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance of a paper that violates any of the standards set out above. For further information, potential authors can contact the editorial office at [email protected]
