Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy

  1. The journal is strictly against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism in any form. Plagiarism is said to have occurred when large portions of a manuscript have been copied from existing previously published resources. All manuscripts submitted for publication to Molang: Journal Islamic Education are cross-checked for plagiarism using Turnitin software.
  2. Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying someone else's prior ideas, processes, results or words without explicit acknowledgement of the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author utilises a large part of his or her own previously published work without using appropriate references. This can range from getting the same manuscript published in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with some new data.
  3. Manuscripts found to be plagiarized during the initial stages of review are outright rejected and not considered for publication in the journal. In case a manuscript is found to be plagiarised after publication, the Editor-in-Chief will conduct a preliminary investigation, maybe with the help of a suitable committee constituted for the purpose.
  4. If the manuscript is found to be plagiarised beyond acceptable limits, the journal will contact the author's institute, / or university and the funding agency, if any. A determination of misconduct will lead Molang: Journal Islamic Education to run a statement bi-directionally linked online to and from the original paper to note the plagiarism and provide a reference to the plagiarised material.
  5. The paper containing the plagiarism will also be marked on each page of the PDF. Upon determination of the extent of plagiarism, the paper may also be formally retracted.
