Plagiarism Policy

Proceeding Jakarta Geopolitical Forum upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and considers only original, unpublished scholarly work. Submission of a manuscript to Proceeding Jakarta Geopolitical Forum signifies that the work has not been published elsewhere and is not under review by any other journal or publication.

1. Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined as the use of text, data, or findings from another source without proper acknowledgment, whereas self-plagiarism refers to the unauthorised reuse of an author’s own previously published content without appropriate citation or disclosure. Both constitute serious breaches of ethical publishing standards.

To ensure the originality and integrity of published works, Proceeding: Jakarta Geopolitical Forum (JGF) employs plagiarism detection software to screen all submitted manuscripts. This process identifies instances of text recycling, improper citation, or duplication prior to publication.

Similarity Requirements:

  • The plagiarism/similarity score of any manuscript must be below 20%.

  • Manuscripts exceeding this threshold may be rejected or returned to authors for revision.

Authors seeking guidance on best practices to avoid plagiarism and self-plagiarism are encouraged to consult academic integrity resources from reputable institutions such as:

  • Plagiarism.org

  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

  • Stanford University

  • University of Toronto

  • Université Paris-Saclay

2. Duplicate (Redundant) Publications

Duplicate or redundant publication occurs when substantially the same work is submitted or published in multiple venues without appropriate cross-referencing. This includes overlapping assumptions, data, discussions, or conclusions.

If a manuscript has been previously published in another language, full disclosure of the original source must be provided upon submission. Similarly, if an abstract has appeared in a conference proceeding, submission to Proceeding: Jakarta Geopolitical Forum (JGF) is permitted, provided that the prior publication is fully cited. For further guidance, authors may refer to COPE’s Guidelines on Good Publication Practice.

If any previously published content is discovered within a submission without proper attribution or permission, the Editors-in-Chief will contact the authors for clarification. Proceeding: Jakarta Geopolitical Forum (JGF) follows COPE’s official procedures in managing such cases. Distinct COPE guidelines apply when plagiarism is identified in a published article.

3. Preprint Policy

Authors submitting to Proceeding Jakarta Geopolitical Forum may upload their Author’s Original Manuscript (AOM) to non-commercial preprint servers (e.g., arXiv, PeerJ Preprints, HAL) at any stage prior to acceptance, provided the preprint platform permits authors to retain full copyright and re-use rights.

A citation linking to the original preprint must be included within the manuscript at submission or during the review process.

Following official publication in Proceeding Jakarta Geopolitical Forum, authors are encouraged to update their preprint versions with a link to the final published article to enable readers to access and cite the peer-reviewed version, in compliance with licensing terms.

Proceeding Jakarta Geopolitical Forum does not consider manuscripts that have been formally published elsewhere or are under active review by another journal or book.
