Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism and Similarity Screening Policy

Ceddi Journal of Information System and Technology (JST) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and preventing plagiarism and other forms of publication misconduct.

All submitted manuscripts undergo similarity screening using Turnitin or iThenticate as part of the journal's initial editorial screening process and before proceeding to peer review. Similarity reports are reviewed and evaluated by the editorial team.

Similarity scores are not used as the sole basis for determining plagiarism or making editorial decisions. The editorial team evaluates the nature, extent, and context of identified similarities. This assessment considers properly cited quotations, references, commonly used terminology, and other legitimate similarities.

Manuscripts containing unattributed copying, inappropriate paraphrasing, substantial duplication of previously published material, duplicate or redundant publication, inappropriate text recycling, or other forms of plagiarism or publication misconduct may be returned to the authors for correction or rejected, depending on the nature and severity of the issue.

If plagiarism or related publication misconduct is identified after publication, the journal will investigate the matter and take appropriate action in accordance with its Publication Ethics policy and applicable Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidance. Appropriate actions may include correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other post-publication measures depending on the nature and severity of the case.
