1. Zero Tolerance for Plagiarism and Artistic Appropriation

Jurnal Pendidikan dan Penciptaan Seni (JIPSI) (Online ISSN: 2776-9801) upholds the highest standards of academic and artistic integrity and enforces a strict policy against all forms of plagiarism, including verbatim copying of text, uncredited paraphrasing, uncredited appropriation of artworks/compositions/choreographies, data fabrication, and redundant or duplicate publication (self-plagiarism).

2. Mandatory Similarity Screening

Every manuscript submitted to JIPSI undergoes mandatory similarity screening during initial editorial desk evaluation prior to double-blind peer review, and again prior to final acceptance, using Turnitin and/or Plagiarism Checker X.

3. Similarity Index Thresholds and Editorial Actions

Excluding bibliography/references and properly enclosed direct quotations, JIPSI applies the following strict similarity index thresholds:

• Similarity Index ≤ 30% (with no single source exceeding 5%): The manuscript passes similarity screening and proceeds to double-blind peer review.
• Similarity Index between 31% and 40%: The manuscript is returned to the author(s) prior to peer review for mandatory revision and proper paraphrasing/citation.
• Similarity Index > 40% or Evidence of Deliberate Plagiarism: The manuscript is immediately rejected without peer review.

4. Handling Post-Publication Plagiarism

If textual or artistic plagiarism, duplicate publication, or copyright infringement is discovered after an article has been published in JIPSI, the Editorial Board will conduct a formal investigation in accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Flowcharts. If substantiated, the article will be formally retracted, a Retraction Notice linked to the original DOI will be published, and the author's institution may be notified.
