The editorial board of Jurnal Hurriah: Journal of Educational Evaluation and Research recognizes that plagiarism is completely unacceptable and strictly prohibited. Therefore, the journal has established a rigorous policy detailing specific screening procedures and penalties upon the identification of plagiarism or high text similarity in submitted manuscripts.

Jurnal Hurriah utilizes Turnitin originality checking software as the primary tool to detect text similarities in both newly submitted article manuscripts and final camera-ready versions prior to publication.

• Similarity Threshold: A maximum similarity index of 20% is permitted for submitted papers.

• Action for Exceeding Threshold: If a manuscript exhibits a similarity index exceeding 20%, the article will be immediately returned to the author for revision and resubmission.

Levels of Plagiarism and Penalties

1. Minor Plagiarism

• Definition: A short section of another article is copied or paraphrased without adequate citation, without involving any significant data or core ideas from the original paper.

• Action: A formal warning is issued to the authors, requesting them to rewrite the text and properly cite the original source.

Shared Authorship Responsibility

It is understood that all co-authors share full responsibility for the content of their submitted paper, having read and agreed to the journal's Copyright Notice. Consequently, if a penalty for plagiarism or research misconduct is imposed, all listed authors will be subject to the exact same penalty, regardless of individual contribution claims.
