Explanation

The plagiarism screening policy at Khidmati: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat (Journal of Community Service) is a crucial step in maintaining the quality and credibility of scientific publications. Each submitted manuscript is reviewed using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin or iThenticate to identify the text's similarity index with other published sources.

The maximum limit of similarity allowed is 20%, with the exception of the bibliography and direct quotations, which comply with scientific principles. If the level of similarity exceeds this limit, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision. However, if indications of serious plagiarism, such as direct copying without attribution or duplicate publication, are found, the manuscript will be immediately rejected.

In addition to the initial review, the screening process may also be repeated after revisions to ensure adequate corrections have been made. The author is fully responsible for the originality of the work, while the editor plays a crucial role in verifying the review results and determining appropriate action.

With this policy, Khidmati strives to create a scientific publication environment that is honest, transparent, and has high integrity, and ensures that every published article makes a real and original contribution to the practice of community service.
