Jurnal Teknik Sipil dan Teknologi Konstruksi (JTSK) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and ensuring the originality of all published articles. Plagiarism, including the unacknowledged use of another person's ideas, words, data, figures, tables, or other research outputs, is strictly prohibited.
1. Originality of Manuscripts
Authors submitting manuscripts to JTSK must ensure that their work is original, has been properly cited, and does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Manuscripts must not contain plagiarized material, fabricated data, falsified results, or other forms of research misconduct. Manuscripts that have been published previously are not eligible for submission, except where the journal's editorial policies explicitly permit an appropriate form of secondary publication.
2. Similarity Checking
All submitted manuscripts may be screened for textual similarity using plagiarism detection software or other appropriate tools as part of the editorial process. Similarity reports are used to assist the editorial team in evaluating the originality of a manuscript. A similarity score alone does not determine whether plagiarism has occurred. The editorial team will assess the nature, context, and source of any detected similarities, including properly cited quotations, references, technical terminology, and standard methodological descriptions.
3. Editorial Actions
If potential plagiarism or inappropriate textual overlap is identified, the editorial team may take one or more of the following actions, depending on the severity of the case:
• Request clarification or revision from the authors.
• Reject the manuscript if substantial plagiarism or unattributed material is identified.
• Suspend the editorial process while the matter is investigated.
• Retract a published article if serious plagiarism is confirmed after publication.
• Notify the relevant institution or other appropriate parties when warranted.
All cases will be handled fairly and confidentially, with consideration given to the available evidence and the seriousness of the alleged misconduct.
4. Authors' Responsibilities
Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their manuscripts and for providing appropriate citations and acknowledgments for all sources used. Any use of previously published text, figures, tables, or other materials must be properly acknowledged and, where necessary, supported by permission from the copyright holder. Authors must also ensure that their submissions comply with the journal's publication ethics and editorial policies.
5. Editorial Responsibility
The editorial team is responsible for evaluating potential plagiarism cases objectively and consistently. Editorial decisions will be based on the evidence available, the extent and nature of the overlap, and the applicable publication ethics principles. JTSK reserves the right to reject manuscripts or take appropriate corrective action when plagiarism or other forms of publication misconduct are established. By submitting a manuscript to JTSK, authors acknowledge their responsibility to uphold academic integrity and comply with this Plagiarism Policy.
