Screening for Plagiarism

Keteg: Jurnal Pengetahuan, Pemikiran dan Kajian Tentang Bunyi strictly opposes any form of plagiarism, data fabrication, and text-recycling (self-plagiarism). We are committed to publishing only original research that makes a genuine contribution to the academic community and has not been published or is not currently under review elsewhere.

Plagiarism Detection
To uphold academic integrity and ensure the originality of published articles, all submitted manuscripts are systematically screened for text overlap and similarity using [Turnitin / iThenticate] software. This administrative screening is conducted by the Managing Editor immediately upon submission, strictly prior to the Double-Blind Peer Review process.

Similarity Index Limit
The journal sets a maximum allowable similarity index of [20%]. Please note that the bibliography/reference list, explicitly quoted texts (enclosed in quotation marks), and standard strings of words (such as institutional affiliations or common methodological terms) are excluded from this percentage calculation.

Actions and Consequences
Depending on the similarity report generated by the software, the Editorial Board will take the following actions:
Similarity below [20%]: The manuscript will proceed to the Double-Blind Peer Review stage, provided it meets the journal's Focus and Scope and template formatting requirements.
Similarity between [21% and 30%]: The manuscript will be returned to the corresponding author. Authors will be given a specific timeframe to paraphrase the highlighted text, adequately cite the original sources, and reduce the similarity index before the manuscript can be reconsidered for peer review.
Similarity above [30%]: The manuscript will be directly desk-rejected.

Self-Plagiarism Policy
Authors must avoid "text-recycling" or self-plagiarism. While authors may build upon their previous research, duplicating substantial parts of one's own published work without proper citation is unacceptable. If authors use their own previously published data or theoretical explanations, it must be explicitly cited and only serve as a foundation for substantial new findings (What Else).
