Plagiarism Policy

IKTISYAF strictly prohibits plagiarism in any form. Plagiarism includes copying text, ideas, data, or other materials from another source without proper acknowledgment.

Authors must ensure that all sources used in their manuscripts are appropriately cited. Direct quotations must be clearly indicated, and paraphrased content must also be properly referenced.

The journal defines plagiarism as including but not limited to:

• Direct copying without citation

• Improper paraphrasing

• Self-plagiarism or duplicate publication

• Unauthorized use of figures, tables, or data

If plagiarism is detected during the review process, the manuscript will be rejected immediately. If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal reserves the right to retract the article and notify the author’s affiliated institution if necessary.
