Plagiarism Policy

Manuscripts submitted to Journal of Islamic Economics will be screened for plagiarism using the Turnitin plagiarism detection tool. Journal of Islamic Economics will immediately reject manuscripts containing plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Journal of Islamic Economics is committed to ensuring that all authors comply with international standards of academic integrity and publication ethics, particularly concerning plagiarism. As a peer-reviewed journal focusing on Islamic law and contemporary legal studies, the journal expects every submitted manuscript to be original, ethically prepared, and properly acknowledge all sources used.

Plagiarism occurs when an author uses ideas, information, data, arguments, interpretations, or words from another source without providing appropriate acknowledgment. Even when committed unintentionally, plagiarism remains a serious violation of academic ethics and is unacceptable in scholarly publishing.

When an author uses specific information obtained from a particular source, such as legal provisions, judicial decisions, names, dates, places, statistical data, historical facts, or other identifiable information, proper citation is required. Citation is not required only for information that constitutes common knowledge and is readily available from multiple independent sources.

When an author adopts or develops another scholar's ideas, theories, legal reasoning, conceptual frameworks, methodologies, or interpretations, appropriate citation is also required. This applies even when the author further expands, critiques, or develops the original idea. In such cases, the original source must first be acknowledged before presenting the author's own analysis or contribution.

When an author reproduces the exact words of another author, both a citation and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source consulted by the author, quotation marks must be used to indicate the original wording. A citation alone is insufficient when the original text is reproduced verbatim.

Journal of Islamic Economics also considers self-plagiarism to be a violation of publication ethics. Authors must not submit manuscripts that substantially overlap with previously published works or manuscripts under consideration elsewhere without proper disclosure and citation. Any reuse of text, figures, tables, or research findings from previous publications must be clearly identified and appropriately referenced.

Journal of Islamic Economics takes academic integrity very seriously. The editors reserve the right to reject any manuscript found to violate the plagiarism policy during the editorial process. If plagiarism is identified after publication, the journal may issue a correction, publish an expression of concern, or retract the article in accordance with internationally recognized publication ethics and the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
