Screening for Plagiarism
Every manuscript submitted to Journal of Computer Science Advancements will be screened for plagiarism using Turnitin or the Plagiarism Checker X tool. This journal will immediately reject papers found to contain plagiarism or self-plagiarism.
Journal of Computer Science Advancements wants to ensure that all authors are careful and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly on the issue of plagiarism.
Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without proper credit. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and unacceptable in international academic publications.
When the author learns specific information (a name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information) from a specific source, a citation is required. This is forgiven only in cases of common knowledge, where the data is readily available from more than five sources or is generally recognized — e.g., the fact that Indonesia is the most populous Muslim-majority country in the world.
When the author takes an idea from another author, a citation is required even if the author then develops the idea further. This might be an idea about how to interpret the data — either what methodology to use or what conclusion to draw — or about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, authors should cite their sources. In cases where the author develops the idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source first, and then in a subsequent sentence, explain the more developed idea.
When the author takes words from another author, citation and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source the author has read, quotation marks must be used to denote another author's original words — a citation alone is no longer sufficient.
Note on source code: Text-similarity tools such as Turnitin are not designed to detect plagiarism in source code, algorithms, or system architectures. Authors reusing or adapting code, pseudocode, or algorithmic designs from other works — including open-source repositories — must cite the original source and clearly indicate any modifications made. Reviewers and editors may request access to submitted code for independent verification where code plagiarism is suspected.
Journal of Computer Science Advancements takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance from a paper found to violate any of the standards set out above.
