 The Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

We accept all terms and conditions of COPE regarding plagiarism in a submitted manuscript, and in case any attempt of plagiarism is brought to our attention accompanied by convincing evidence, we act based on the flowcharts and workflows determined in COPE. All manuscripts must be free from plagiarism content. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Quran and Social Sciences will be screened for plagiarism using similarity checks and plagiarism detection tools. All authors are advised to use plagiarism detection software to check the similarity before submitting their manuscripts to the journal. Editors check the plagiarism detection of manuscripts in the Journal of Quran and Social Sciences using the Grammarly detection software (www.grammarly.com), and iThenticate (www.ithenticate.com).

   The journal will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism. Whenever it is determined that the manuscript has not complied with the plagiarism rules, it will be REJECTED (before acceptance for publication), and if it was published, it will be RETRACTED for plagiarism issues. The Journal of Quran and Social Sciences aims to ensure that all authors are careful and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly on the issue of plagiarism. Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, phrases, or words from another source without proper credit to the source. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious ethical violation and unacceptable in scientific academic publications.

Retraction Poliorcy

  An article may be retracted when its findings are no longer considered trustworthy due to scientific misconduct or error, it plagiarizes previously published work, or it is found to violate ethical guidelines. An article may be retracted when the integrity of the published work is substantially undermined owing to errors in the conduct, analysis, and/or reporting of the research. Violation of publication or research ethics may also result in a study’s retraction. The original paper will be marked as RETRACTED, but a PDF version remains available to readers, and the RETRACTION statement is bi-directionally linked to the original published paper. Retraction statements will typically include a statement of assent or dissent from the authors.
