Plagiarism Policy

Media Jurnal Informatika does not tolerate any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, and text recycling.

Similarity Check

• All submitted manuscripts are checked for similarity using Turnitin before being sent to peer review.
• Manuscripts with an overall similarity index above 20%, or with more than 3% similarity to any single source, are returned to the authors for revision or rejected.
• Similarity to the authors' own previously published work must be cited and kept to a minimum.

Handling Plagiarism

• Before publication: if plagiarism is detected during review or editing, the manuscript is rejected and the authors are informed.
• After publication: if plagiarism is identified in a published article, the journal follows COPE guidelines and may issue a correction or retract the article. The retraction notice is linked to the original article.
