Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism screening at Jurnal Ilmu Komunikasi Andalan (JIKA) involves two stages: first, prior to peer review, and secondly, after peer review, just before publication, using TURNITIN Similarity Check. Manuscripts submitted for consideration must achieve a similarity index of less than 30%. If a manuscript exceeds this threshold, it will be returned to the authors for revision. Authors are expected to revise their manuscripts to comply with this requirement and resubmit them. The resubmitted manuscripts will undergo a fresh screening process. Should the similarity index still exceed 30% for any reason, the editors will regrettably have to reject the manuscript
