Plagiarism Policy

JERSS Multidisciplinary: Journal of Education, Religion, Social, and Science upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and strictly prohibits all forms of plagiarism. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the use of others’ ideas, words, data, or work without proper acknowledgment, as well as self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, and inappropriate citation practices.

All submitted manuscripts will be screened using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin or iThenticate. The journal applies a maximum similarity index threshold of 20%, excluding references, quotations, and commonly used phrases. However, editorial decisions are not based solely on similarity percentages; the context and nature of the overlap will be carefully evaluated.

Manuscripts found to contain significant plagiarism will be immediately rejected. If plagiarism is detected after publication, the article may be retracted, and appropriate actions will be taken in accordance with publication ethics guidelines.

Authors are fully responsible for ensuring the originality of their work and for properly citing all sources. The journal follows international standards of publication ethics to maintain the quality and credibility of scholarly communication.
