Plagiarism Policy

Jurnal Abdimas Pantura Lestari upholds academic integrity and strictly prohibits all forms of plagiarism. All submitted manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under review by another journal.

Plagiarism includes the use of ideas, data, or text from other sources—partially or entirely—without proper citation.

All manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software (Turnitin or equivalent). The journal applies a maximum similarity index of 25%, excluding references and properly cited quotations.

If plagiarism is identified:

Minor cases require revision and proper citation.

Major cases result in manuscript rejection and may lead to restrictions on future submissions.

All authors are responsible for the originality of their work. Simultaneous submissions are considered unethical and will result in rejection or withdrawal.

If plagiarism is discovered after publication, Jurnal Abdimas Pantura Lestari may issue a correction or retraction in accordance with COPE guidelines.
