Plagiarism Policy

Jurnal Teknik Elektro (JTE) does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. All submitted manuscripts must be original, must not have been published previously, and must not be under consideration by another journal or conference.

  1. Definition

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

  1. copying text, ideas, figures, tables, data, circuit designs, source code, or results from another source without proper citation;
  2. paraphrasing another work so closely that it is substantially the same, without acknowledgment;
  3. self-plagiarism or text recycling, namely reusing substantial parts of the author's own previously published work (including conference papers, theses, and reports) without citation and disclosure;
  4. duplicate or redundant publication, namely publishing the same results in more than one journal or proceeding; and
  5. translation plagiarism, namely translating a published work from another language (e.g. English to Indonesian, or vice versa) and presenting it as new work.
  6. Similarity Screening

Every manuscript is screened using Turnitin or iThenticate at the initial editorial check and again before publication. The overall similarity index must not exceed 20%, excluding the reference list, and no single source may contribute more than 5%. A low similarity score does not by itself guarantee acceptance; the Editor will assess the context and nature of any overlapping text.

Authors are encouraged to check their manuscripts with a similarity checker before submission. Manuscripts derived from an undergraduate or postgraduate thesis must cite the thesis and be substantially rewritten in journal-article form.

  1. Editorial Actions
  2. Similarity above 20% at the initial check: the manuscript is returned to the authors for revision before it enters peer review.
  3. Clear evidence of plagiarism during review: the manuscript is rejected and the authors are informed of the reasons.
  4. Plagiarism detected after publication: the case is investigated according to the COPE flowcharts. Depending on its severity, the article may be corrected or retracted (see Corrections, Retractions & Withdrawal), and the authors' institution may be informed.

d. Serious or repeated plagiarism may result in a submission restriction of up to five (5) years for the responsible author(s).
