Plagiarism Screening

Manuscripts submitted to Arthatama will first be screened for similarity checking using a double cross-check plagiarism system, either manually by checking proper citation and quotation or using software such as Turnitin. Manuscripts found to have a similarity index percentage higher than 20% will be rejected. Authors should strictly avoid: borrowing another author's language verbatim but not putting it in quotation marks or citing it correctly; use other people's ideas without explicitly acknowledging or citing sources; publishing articles in more than one journal by recycling papers. For the last one, the author must make significant changes to the new article.
