Plagiarism Screening Policy

Riwayah: Jurnal Studi Hadis is firmly committed to maintaining academic integrity and upholding the highest ethical standards in scholarly publishing. Therefore, all submitted manuscripts are subject to a thorough plagiarism screening process before being sent for peer review or publication.

The journal employs Turnitin and other online plagiarism detection tools to verify the originality of submitted works.

  • At the submission stage, the acceptable similarity index must not exceed 40%, and authors are required to attach the Turnitin similarity report in the file attachment column of the OJS submission system.
  • Prior to publication, the final similarity index must be below 10%.

Types of Plagiarism

  1. Word-for-Word Plagiarism. Copying another author’s words exactly without proper citation or acknowledgment of the source.
  2. Plagiarism of Ideas (Plagiarism over the Source). Using another person’s ideas, arguments, or findings without adequate acknowledgment or clear citation.
  3. Plagiarism of Authorship. Claiming authorship of a work that belongs to another person or group.
  4. Self-Plagiarism. Republishing the author’s own previously published work, either in full or in part, without significant modification or acknowledgment.
    • When reusing parts of previous work, authors must ensure that the new article represents substantial new content or analysis, and the reused material forms only a minor portion of the new manuscript.
    • The aim is to provide readers with new insights or contributions, not merely recycled content.

All detected plagiarism—intentional or unintentional—will result in immediate editorial action. Manuscripts that exceed the similarity threshold or contain substantial overlap will be returned to the author for revision or rejected outright in severe cases.
