Plagiarism Policy

Screening for Plagiarism

The Journal of Islamic Economics and Business Perspectives (JIEBP) upholds a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and all forms of academic misconduct.

1. Definition

Plagiarism is the use or close imitation of another author’s language, structure, or ideas while presenting them as one’s own. This includes:

·         Direct copying of text without proper quotation and citation.

·         Inadequate paraphrasing of another work, even when cited.

·         Reproducing figures, tables, or graphics without permission and acknowledgement.

·         Self-plagiarism, i.e., re-publishing one’s own previously published work without disclosure.

All manuscripts submitted to JIEBP must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere.

2. Acceptable Use of Sources

·         Any verbatim text from another source must appear in quotation marks or block quotes with proper citation.

·         Any material (text, tables, figures) that exceeds fair-use standards requires written permission from the copyright holder and full attribution.

3. Similarity Check

All submissions are screened using Turnitin or equivalent plagiarism-detection software.

·         Acceptable similarity index: below 15 % (excluding references and common phrases).

·         Reports exceeding this threshold are subject to editorial review.

4. Actions and Penalties

JIEBP applies graduated responses based on similarity results:

·         >40 % similarity: automatic rejection; resubmission not permitted.

·         20–40 % similarity: returned to the author for mandatory revision and a new similarity report.

·         <20 % similarity: may be accepted but may still require improved citation or paraphrasing.

Serious or repeated plagiarism may lead to article rejection, post-publication retraction, and/or notification of the author’s institution.

5. Ethical Standards

JIEBP adheres to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines.
Failure to comply constitutes a breach of publication ethics, and the journal reserves the right to issue retractions, corrections, or public notices even after publication.
