Manuscript Submission and Plagiarism Policy for Social Sciences and Humanities Reviews

Manuscripts submitted to Social Sciences and Humanities Reviews will be screened using Turnitin similarity detection software. Social Sciences and Humanities Reviews will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Social Sciences and Humanities Reviews aims to ensure that all authors are diligent and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly on the issue of plagiarism.

What Constitutes Plagiarism?

Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without proper credit. Even if unintentional, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and is unacceptable in international academic publications.

• Citations are required when an author learns specific information (such as names, dates, places, statistical numbers, or other detailed information) from a specific source. This is only forgiven in cases of general knowledge, where the data is readily available in more than five sources or is widely known (e.g., the fact that Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world).
• Ideas from other authors require citations even if the author develops the idea further. This can involve how to interpret data, methodologies to use, or conclusions to draw. Regardless of the level of development, authors must cite the original source.
• Direct quotations require both citations and quotation marks. If four or more consecutive words are identical to a source, the author must use quotation marks to denote the use of another author’s original words—just a citation is not sufficient.

Social Sciences and Humanities Reviews takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance from a paper found to violate any of the standards set out above.
