Plagiarism Policy

All manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Keamanan Nasional will be screened for plagiarism using plagiarism detection software. Any manuscript found to contain plagiarism or self-plagiarism with a similarity index of more than 25% will be immediately rejected prior to the peer-review process.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use reputable plagiarism detection tools to check the similarity of their manuscripts before submission to ensure originality and compliance with the journal’s ethical standards.

The journal defines plagiarism as the use of others’ published and unpublished ideas, words, or data without appropriate attribution or permission, including but not limited to:

Copying text, figures, or tables from other sources without proper citation;
Close paraphrasing of text without credit;
Reusing substantial parts of one’s own previously published work (self-plagiarism) without clear reference to the original source.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to re-evaluate manuscripts at any stage of the publication process if plagiarism is suspected. Confirmed cases of plagiarism in published articles will lead to article retraction and may result in the author(s) being blacklisted from future submissions to the journal.
