Plagiarism

All manuscripts submitted to the Sahabat Journal — Journal of Education must be free from any form of plagiarism, falsification, data fabrication, or omission of significant material that may affect the integrity of the scholarly work.

Failure to properly attribute the work of others may constitute plagiarism. Any form of plagiarism is considered unethical publishing behavior and is strictly unacceptable.

Plagiarism screening is conducted by the Editorial Board of the Sahabat Journal — Journal of Education using the iThenticate: Plagiarism Detection Software to ensure the originality and integrity of submitted manuscripts. This screening process is mandatory before a manuscript proceeds to the peer-review stage.

The maximum allowable similarity rate is 25 percent. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold or containing confirmed indications of plagiarism, either in part or in whole, will be rejected without further editorial processing.
