PLAGIARISM POLICY

AXIOM : Jurnal Pendidikan dan Matematika is committed to the originality of the work it publishes. All submitted manuscripts are screened for similarity, and cases of suspected plagiarism are assessed carefully and fairly by the editors. 

Plagiarism is the use of another person’s words, ideas, data, figures, or results without proper credit, presenting them as one’s own. It includes:

  • copying text from another source without quotation marks and citation;
  • paraphrasing another author’s text too closely, or paraphrasing without citing the source;
  • using another person’s ideas, data, tables, figures, or instruments without acknowledgement;
  • translating another author’s work without citing the original;
  • self-plagiarism: reusing one’s own previously published text, data, or findings without disclosure and citation;
  • duplicate or redundant publication, and submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time;
  • submitting work that is not the author’s own.

Similarity Screening

All manuscripts are checked using Turnitin  on submission and may be checked again if accepted for publication. The similarity report is made available to the author when a manuscript is returned or rejected because of similarity.

A similarity score is an indicator, not proof of plagiarism. The editors make the final judgement, guided by the following:

  • 30% or below: the manuscript proceeds to editorial evaluation. Authors may still be asked to add citations or improve paraphrasing.
  • Above 30%: the manuscript will generally be rejected. If the overlap clearly comes from excluded matches or can be resolved by minor revision, it may be returned to the author and resubmitted with a new similarity report.

Substantial copying, or plagiarism of ideas or translated text, may lead to rejection regardless of the score. Authors are responsible for the originality of their manuscripts and are encouraged to check similarity before submission to avoid rejection at initial screening.

Plagiarism Found After Acceptance or Publication
Authors are informed and given an opportunity to respond. The editors may withdraw acceptance, publish a correction, or retract the article, and may inform the authors’ institution where appropriate. Retracted articles remain accessible with a clear retraction notice. Such cases follow our Research Misconduct Allegation procedure and Corrections and Retractions policy.
