Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without properly crediting the source. Even if it happens unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic offence and is unacceptable in international scholarly publications.
When the author knows specific information (names, dates, places, statistical numbers, or other detailed information) from a particular source, citation is required. (This is only excused in cases of general knowledge, where the data is readily available in more than five sources or is common knowledge, for example, that Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world).
When the author takes an idea from another author, a citation is required even if the author develops the idea further. This might be an idea about how to interpret the data, either what methodology to use or what conclusion to draw. It might be about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, authors should cite their sources. In cases where the author develops the idea further, it is still necessary to cite the source of the concept, and then in a subsequent sentence, the author can explain her or his more developed idea.
When the author takes words from another author, citations and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to denote the use of another author's original words; just a citation is no longer enough.
Muttaqien, the Indonesian Journal of Multidiciplinary Islamic Studies, takes academic integrity very seriously. The editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance from a paper that violates any of the standards set out above.
