Plagiarism Policy

Jurnal Ampere is committed to maintaining academic integrity, originality, and publication ethics. All submitted manuscripts undergo plagiarism screening before entering the peer-review process.

Plagiarism Detection

All submitted manuscripts are screened using Turnitin or equivalent plagiarism detection software to identify similarities with previously published works and other available sources.

Similarity Index

The maximum acceptable similarity index is 25%. However, the Editorial Board evaluates both the overall similarity percentage and the nature and sources of matched content. Similarity resulting from properly cited references, standard technical terminology, commonly used methodological descriptions, and appropriately quoted material will not automatically be considered plagiarism.

Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 25% may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected, depending on the extent and nature of the similarity. Manuscripts with a lower similarity index may also be rejected if substantial unattributed copying or other forms of plagiarism are identified.

Handling Plagiarism Cases

If plagiarism, duplicate publication, inappropriate text recycling, data fabrication, data falsification, or other forms of research misconduct are identified during the editorial or peer-review process, the journal will assess the case and take appropriate action. Depending on the severity of the misconduct, the manuscript may be rejected.

If such misconduct is discovered after publication, the Editorial Board will investigate the case and may issue a correction, retraction, or other appropriate notice in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies.

Publication Ethics

Jurnal Ampere follows the ethical principles and guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Authors are expected to submit original work, acknowledge all sources appropriately, and comply with the journal's publication ethics policies throughout the publication process.

Through this policy, Jurnal Ampere aims to safeguard the originality, credibility, and scientific integrity of published research and maintain the trust of authors, reviewers, readers, and the academic community.
