Screening for Plagiarism Policy

Journal of Data, Computation, and Information Systems (JDCIS) is committed to maintaining the scientific integrity and originality of all published articles.

1. Plagiarism Screening

  • All submitted manuscripts will be screened using plagiarism detection software prior to the peer review process.

  • Manuscripts with a similarity index above the acceptable threshold (typically >20–25%) will be reviewed further by the Editor.

2. Actions Against Plagiarism

  • Clear plagiarism (copying text, figures, or data without proper attribution) will result in manuscript rejection.

  • If plagiarism is detected after publication, JDCIS reserves the right to:

    1. Retract the article from official publication,

    2. Issue a formal notice of plagiarism,

    3. Notify the author’s institution for further action.

3. Author Responsibility

  • Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original and that all sources are properly cited.

  • Authors are fully responsible for any citation errors, duplication, or plagiarism, whether intentional or unintentional.

4. Prevention

  • JDCIS encourages authors to use plagiarism detection software before submission.

  • Authors are expected to write in their own words and style, and cite all references accurately.
