Plagiarism Notice

The Journal of Integrative International Relations maintains a strict policy against plagiarism and all forms of unethical publishing behavior. Authors are expected to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity, ensuring that their submissions are original, accurately cited, and properly attributed. All submitted manuscripts are systematically screened, and any indication of plagiarism or misconduct results in immediate rejection. The journal uses Turnitin to check similarity levels, and authors are notified of the results.

Plagiarism is defined as the use of someone else’s ideas, data, or wording without proper acknowledgment. Even unintentional plagiarism is considered a serious academic offense and is not acceptable in international scholarly publications. When an author obtains specific information—such as names, statistics, historical events, or unique details—from a source, a citation is required unless the information is considered common knowledge (e.g., facts found in five or more sources or widely recognized, such as Indonesia being the largest Muslim-majority country). Any idea taken from another scholar—regardless of how much the author expands or develops it—must be credited. This includes methodological approaches, theoretical insights, or interpretations of data. When using exact language from a source, quotation marks must be used. If four or more consecutive words are identical to a consulted source, quotation marks are mandatory, and paraphrasing alone is not sufficient.

The Journal of Integrative International Relations is committed to upholding academic integrity. Editors reserve the right to revoke acceptance of any paper found to be in violation of these ethical standards. The editorial team—along with reviewers, publishers, ethics committees, and, when necessary, the broader academic community—will respond promptly to any reports of ethical violations, even if the misconduct is discovered long after publication. The journal follows the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Flowchart in handling all allegations of academic misconduct.

In confirmed cases of scientific misconduct, fraudulent data, or plagiarism, the publisher, in collaboration with the editor and, if necessary, an ethics committee, will take appropriate corrective actions. These may include issuing a correction, clarification, or, in severe cases, retracting the published article. The journal is committed to preventing the publication of research that contains ethical or methodological errors and will never knowingly allow such work to be published.
