Plagiarism Policy

Fakta: Jurnal Pendidikan Agama Islam does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. Plagiarism includes:

copying text, ideas, data, or figures from another source without acknowledgement;
paraphrasing another work closely without proper citation;
translation plagiarism, that is, translating another work and presenting it as one's own;
self-plagiarism or text recycling, that is, reusing substantial parts of one's own published work without citation; and
duplicate or redundant publication of the same research.

Screening

Every submission is checked with similarity-detection software at the initial screening, and accepted manuscripts are checked again before publication. A similarity report is treated as an indication only: the percentage alone does not prove or disprove plagiarism. The editor examines the matching sources to judge whether the overlap is properly attributed, is limited to standard phrases, methods, or quotations, or constitutes plagiarism.

Handling

Minor overlap (short passages that are inadequately attributed): the authors are asked to revise and cite properly before the review continues.
Substantial plagiarism detected before publication: the manuscript is declined, and the authors are informed of the reason.
Plagiarism detected after publication: the case is investigated under the Research Misconduct Policy, and the article is corrected or retracted. The authors' institution may be informed.

All cases are handled with reference to the COPE flowcharts.
