PLAGIARISM POLICY

Indonesian Civil Law Review (ICLR) is committed to maintaining originality and academic integrity in all published articles. Every manuscript submitted to ICLR must be the author's original work and must appropriately acknowledge all ideas, quotations, data, arguments, and materials derived from other sources.

Similarity Screening

All submitted manuscripts are subject to originality and similarity screening using Turnitin and/or other appropriate similarity-detection tools before proceeding to the publication process.

The Turnitin Similarity Report is used as an editorial screening tool. A similarity percentage does not automatically determine whether plagiarism has occurred. The editorial team will examine the sources, context, citation practices, quotations, references, and nature of the matching text before reaching a decision.

Forms of Plagiarism

ICLR considers the following practices unacceptable:

  • copying text, ideas, arguments, or findings without proper acknowledgment;
  • inappropriate paraphrasing without citation;
  • reproducing substantial portions of previously published material;
  • translating another person's work and presenting it as original;
  • using tables, figures, data, or other materials without proper attribution or permission;
  • self-plagiarism or inappropriate text recycling; and
  • deliberately manipulating text to avoid similarity detection.

Properly quoted and referenced material, bibliographies, statutory provisions, judicial decisions, and commonly used legal terminology will be evaluated according to their context and will not be judged solely on the basis of the similarity percentage.

Editorial Action

Where significant textual similarity is identified, the editors may:

  1. request clarification or revision from the author;
  2. return the manuscript for correction;
  3. reject the manuscript where serious plagiarism is established; or
  4. take appropriate post-publication action if plagiarism is discovered after publication.

Cases involving serious or deliberate plagiarism after publication may result in a correction, retraction, or other appropriate editorial action in accordance with the journal's Ethics and Malpractice Policy.

Authors are fully responsible for ensuring the originality and proper attribution of all materials contained in their manuscripts.
