Screening Plagiarism

To ensure originality and prevent academic misconduct, every manuscript submitted to Jurnal Mediagro is subject to plagiarism screening.

This process is conducted using reliable and academically recognized plagiarism detection software.

Jurnal Mediagro applies a maximum similarity threshold of 25%. If a manuscript exceeds this limit, authors will be required to revise it — or the submission may be declined.

The screening is performed before the peer-review stage, as part of our strong commitment to maintaining scientific integrity and publication ethics.

Plagiarism includes:

1. Word-for-word plagiarism – borrowing another author’s language word-for-word but not putting it in quotation marks or citing it correctly.
2. Source plagiarism – using the ideas of others without giving recognition or citing the source explicitly.
3. Plagiarism of authorship – presenting another author's work as one’s own.
4. Self-plagiarism - authors publishing an article in more than one journal by recycling papers. The important issue related to self-plagiarism is that when citing one's own work, significant changes must have been made to the new article. The previous article should only contain a small percentage of any new article produced. So readers will receive new information, which tmay inspired by but different from the previous articles.
