Plagiarism Policy

Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

  1. Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are not allowed.

  2. The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

  3. An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

  4. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Every manuscript submitted to SAVANA: Indonesian Journal of Natural Resources and Environmental Law is going to be scanned using Turnitin (similarity check)

  1. Similarity Index above 40%: Article Rejected (due to poor citation and/or poor paraphrasing, article outright rejected, NO RESUBMISSION accepted)

  2.  Similarity Index (20-40%): Send to the author for improvement [provide correct citations to all places of similarity and do good paraphrasing even if the citation is provided]

  3. Similarity index Less than 20%: Accepted or citation improvement may be required. [proper citations must be provided  to all outsourced texts]


    In cases 2 and 3: The authors should revise the article carefully, add required citations, and do good paraphrasing outsourced text. And resubmit the article with a new Turnitin report showing NO PLAGIARISM and similarity below 20%
