Publication Ethics
The following statements are based on Elsevier recommendations and COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Al-Munawwarah : Jurnal Pendidikan Islam and its Publisher, LP3M Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Nahdlatul Wathan Samawa follows the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).
Al-Munawwarah is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and takes all possible measures against publication malpractice. Authors who submit papers to Al-Munawwarah attest that their work is original and unpublished, and is not under consideration for publication else where. In addition, authors confirm that their paper is their own; that it has not been copied or plagiarized, in whole or in part, from other works; and that they have disclosed actual or potential conflicts of interest with their work or partial benefits associated with it.
Manuscripts submitted to Al-Munawwarah : Jurnal Pendidikan Islam will be screened using the Turnitin similarity detection tool Al-Munawwarah : Jurnal Pendidikan Islam will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.
Al-Munawwarah: Jurnal Pendidikan Islam wants 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, or words from another source without proper credit to the source. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and is unacceptable in international academic publications.
When the author learns specific information (a name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information) from a specific source, a citation is required. (This is only forgiven in cases of general knowledge, where the data is readily available in more than five sources or is common knowledge, e.g., the fact that Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world.)
When the author takes an idea from another author, a citation is required even if the author then develops the idea further. This might be an idea about how to interpret the data, either what methodology to use or what conclusion to draw. It might be an idea about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, authors should cite their sources. In cases where the author develops the idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source of the idea, and then in a subsequent sentence, the author can explain her or his more developed idea.
When the author takes words from another author, citation and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source that the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to denote the use of another author's original words; just a citation is no longer enough.
Al-Munawwarah : Jurnal Pendidikan Islam takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance from a paper found to violate any of the standards set out above.
