Plagiarism Screening Policy

Syariah: Jurnal Hukum dan Pemikiran does not tolerate plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated attribution, or inappropriate text recycling.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to similarity screening using Turnitin or another recognized similarity-detection service available to the journal.

Similarity Screening

An overall similarity level above approximately 20% will normally trigger additional editorial examination and may result in revision or rejection.

However, a numerical similarity score is not itself a definitive determination of plagiarism.

Editors assess:

• the nature of matching text;
• whether sources have been acknowledged;
• the concentration of similarity;
• copying of arguments, data, tables, or results;
• inappropriate paraphrasing;
• text recycling;
• translation plagiarism; and
• duplicate or redundant publication.

A manuscript below the numerical threshold may still be rejected when substantive plagiarism is detected.

Conversely, legitimate quotations, references, methodological language, statutory provisions, legal citations, and other unavoidable standard expressions may produce legitimate similarity.

Forms of Unacceptable Practice

These include:

• direct copying without attribution;
• mosaic or patchwork plagiarism;
• inadequate paraphrasing;
• self-plagiarism or undisclosed text recycling;
• reuse of previously published data or results without disclosure;
• translation of another work without attribution;
• plagiarism of ideas, tables, figures, instruments, or datasets;
• duplicate submission; and
• redundant publication.

Suspected cases are handled according to recognized publication ethics procedures.

Where plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal may issue a correction, retraction, or other appropriate notice.
