The Journal of Islamic Philosophy and Contemporary Thought (JIPCT) maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding plagiarism and unethical publishing practices. Authors are expected to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity by submitting original work, ensuring proper attribution, and adhering to rigorous citation practices. Every manuscript submitted to the journal undergoes systematic screening using Turnitin to detect similarities. Submissions identified as containing plagiarism will be immediately rejected. Authors will be informed of the similarity report and are responsible for addressing any concerns raised.

Definition and Scope of Plagiarism
Plagiarism is appropriating another’s ideas, information, or language without proper attribution. This includes direct copying and the use of ideas or data without citation, even if unintentional. Plagiarism is a serious academic offense and is unacceptable in any form.

Proper citation is required when an author learns specific information from a particular source, such as names, dates, statistical data, or other detailed content. General knowledge, widely known or available from at least five independent sources (e.g., "Indonesia is the most populous Muslim-majority country in the world"), may be exempt from citation.

When drawing upon the intellectual contributions of others—whether regarding data interpretation, methodological approaches, or theoretical frameworks—authors must clearly cite the original source. Even when ideas are developed further, acknowledgment of the initial source is required before elaboration.

In cases where exact wording from another source is used, both quotation marks and a proper citation are mandatory. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source the author has consulted, quotation marks must be used; citation alone is insufficient.

Enforcement and Misconduct
The Journal of Islamic Philosophy and Contemporary Thought (JIPCT) takes academic integrity with utmost seriousness. The editorial board reserves the right to rescind acceptance or retract published articles found to violate ethical standards.

In instances of alleged or confirmed misconduct—including plagiarism, data fabrication, or other breaches of ethical publishing—the journal will respond in coordination with the publisher, editorial board, ethics committee (where applicable), and peer reviewers. All reported violations will be thoroughly investigated, regardless of when they are discovered, and appropriate actions will be taken in accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines and flowcharts.

Corrective actions may include the publication of an erratum or clarification, or in severe cases, the retraction of the article. The journal and its publisher are committed to identifying and preventing research misconduct and will never tolerate or knowingly permit such behavior.
