Plagiarism Policy

Ar-Rasyid: Jurnal Pendidikan Agama Islam is committed to maintaining academic integrity, originality, and ethical standards in scholarly publishing. The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, or any other form of academic misconduct.

All manuscripts submitted to Ar-Rasyid: Jurnal Pendidikan Agama Islam must be original works and must properly acknowledge all sources, ideas, data, and statements derived from other authors through appropriate citations and references.

Plagiarism Screening

All submitted manuscripts are screened for similarity using plagiarism detection software before entering the peer-review process. The editorial team evaluates the similarity report to identify potential plagiarism, inappropriate paraphrasing, duplicate content, and inadequate citation.

The journal applies the following similarity threshold:

  1. Similarity of 20% or below: The manuscript may proceed to the initial editorial evaluation, provided that no significant plagiarism or other publication ethics violations are identified.

  2. Similarity above 20%: The manuscript will be rejected before the peer-review process.

The similarity score is not the sole indicator of plagiarism. The editorial team also examines the sources and context of matching text, the adequacy of citations, and the nature of the similarities identified in the report.

Authors' Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submitted manuscripts:

  1. Present original scholarly work and do not contain plagiarized material.

  2. Properly cite and acknowledge all sources used.

  3. Clearly distinguish their own ideas and findings from those of other authors.

  4. Use quotation marks and appropriate citations when reproducing text verbatim.

  5. Avoid self-plagiarism, duplicate submission, and redundant publication.

  6. Obtain permission to reproduce copyrighted material when required.

  7. Accurately report research data, findings, and the contributions of all authors.

Editorial Actions

Manuscripts found to have a similarity score exceeding 20% will be rejected before peer review. If plagiarism or other serious ethical violations are identified regardless of the similarity score, the editorial team reserves the right to reject the manuscript.

If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the editorial team will investigate the case and take appropriate action in accordance with the severity of the violation. Such actions may include issuing a correction, publishing an expression of concern, or retracting the published article.

All cases of suspected plagiarism will be handled fairly and confidentially in accordance with recognized publication ethics standards and the relevant guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
