Screening Plagiarism

Articles submitted to Bersama : Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat will be filtered using Turnitin software, with a maximum of 25% similarities permitted.

Plagiarism includes:

1. Word-for-word plagiarism – borrowing another author’s language word-for-word but not putting it in quotation marks or citing it correctly.
2. Source plagiarism – using the ideas of others without giving recognition or citing the source explicitly.
3. Plagiarism of authorship – presenting another author's work as one’s own.
4. Self-plagiarism - authors publishing an article in more than one journal by recycling papers. The important issue related to self-plagiarism is that when citing one's own work, significant changes must have been made to the new article. The previous article should only contain a small percentage of any new article produced. So readers will receive new information, which tmay inspired by but different from the previous articles.
