Editorial Professional Academic Network for Governance, Utilization, Research, and Universal Strategic Advancement Networks (PANGURUSAN) acknowledges that plagiarism is unacceptable and therefore establishes the following policy which states specific actions (penalties) if plagiarism is identified in an article submitted for publication in the Professional Academic Network for Governance, Utilization, Research, and Universal Strategic Advancement Networks (PANGURUSAN).

Definition:

1. Purpose of Plagiarism Screening
   Plagiarism screening is conducted to ensure that every manuscript submitted to the journal is original, free from plagiarism, and meets the ethical standards of scientific publication.

2. Plagiarism Checking Procedure

• Every submitted manuscript will be screened using reliable plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin, iThenticate, Grammarly Plagiarism Checker, or Plagiarism Checker X.
• The screening is performed by the journal’s editorial team before the manuscript proceeds to the peer review stage.

3. Maximum Similarity Threshold

• The submitted manuscript must have a maximum similarity index of 25%.
• Manuscripts exceeding this similarity threshold will be returned to the authors for revision or rejected outright, depending on the severity of the violation.

4. Definition of Plagiarism

• Plagiarism is defined as the use of another person’s scientific work in whole or in part without proper and accurate citation, whether intentional or unintentional.
• This includes copying sentences, ideas, data, images, or research results without permission and correct referencing.

5. Levels of Violation and Corresponding Actions

                     

6. Author Responsibilities

• Authors are fully responsible for the originality of the submitted work.
• Authors must ensure the manuscript has not been published previously or is under consideration elsewhere.
• Authors are encouraged to perform plagiarism checks independently before submission.

7. Confidentiality and Integrity

• The results of plagiarism checks are confidential and used solely by the editorial team for manuscript evaluation.
• The journal is committed to maintaining scientific integrity and enforcing strict sanctions against plagiarism violations.

This policy can be adapted to fit your journal’s specific needs but covers the essential aspects of plagiarism screening commonly applied in management journals. It helps maintain publication quality, credibility, and protects intellectual property rights.
