Plagiarism Policy

The Tika Journal Editorial Team states that plagiarism is unacceptable as an act against the law and therefore has established a policy stating specific actions (punishments) if plagiarism is identified in an article submitted for publication by the Tika Journal.

Definition:
Plagiarism is an act of intentionally or unintentionally obtaining or trying to obtain credit or value for a scientific work, by quoting part or all of another party's work and/or scientific work which is recognized as scientific work, without stating the source accurately and adequately.

For this reason, articles must be original and have never been published and are not in the process of awaiting publication elsewhere. Material taken verbally from other sources needs to be clearly identified so that it is different from the original text.

If plagiarism is identified, then, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for reviewing the article and will approve action according to the level of plagiarism detected, with the following guidelines:

Plagiarism Rate

Tracing/copying and pasting some short sentences from other articles without mentioning the source. Action: The author is given a warning and a request to change the text and cite it properly.

Plagiarize/copy paste most of other articles without proper citations and don't mention the source. Action: The submitted article is rejected for publication in the Tika Journal and the author may be given sanctions for not being allowed to publish in the Tika Journal.

The article author is responsible for the content of the article sent to the Tika Journal editor because he has signed the Publication Ethics Statement online for the Tika Journal when registering. The requirement for plagiarism check results is a minimum of 30% and if it exceeds then all authors will be subject to the same action.

If the author is proven to have submitted a manuscript to the TIka Journal by simultaneously sending it to another journal, and the overlap is discovered during the review process or after publication, then action will be taken according to point 2 above.

If an act of plagiarism is found outside the above rules, the Tika Journal editor has the right to impose sanctions according to the editorial team's policy.
