Screening for Plagiarism Policy
Cenderawasih Constitutional Review is committed to maintaining academic integrity and ensuring that every published article represents original scholarly work. Therefore, all submitted manuscripts undergo plagiarism screening before proceeding to the peer-review process.
Manuscripts are screened using appropriate text-similarity detection software or other screening methods deemed appropriate by the editors. The screening process is conducted to identify potential plagiarism, duplicate publication, and the use of other authors' works or ideas without adequate acknowledgment.
If the screening results indicate a level of similarity or potential plagiarism that requires further consideration, the editors may:
- request the authors to revise the manuscript and provide clarification regarding the identified passages;
- return the manuscript to the authors for revision before it proceeds to peer review;
- reject the manuscript if serious plagiarism or academic misconduct is identified; or
- conduct further investigation in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policy if suspected misconduct is identified after publication.
Textual similarity does not necessarily constitute plagiarism. Therefore, similarity-screening results are considered as one part of the editorial assessment and are evaluated in context, taking into account the cited sources and the substance of the overlapping passages.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submitted manuscripts are original works and that all sources, quotations, ideas, and materials derived from other parties are appropriately acknowledged and cited.
Cenderawasih Constitutional Review does not tolerate plagiarism and is committed to conducting plagiarism screening in an objective, consistent, and responsible manner to safeguard the quality and integrity of scholarly publication.
