MUDE • OFFICIAL JOURNAL POLICY

Jurnal Multidisiplin Dehasen (MUDE) does not tolerate plagiarism, text recycling that misleads readers, duplicate publication, or inappropriate reuse of figures, tables, data, ideas, or wording without proper attribution.

Similarity Screening

Submitted manuscripts may be screened using similarity-detection software such as Turnitin or an equivalent service during editorial screening and, when necessary, at later stages. A similarity percentage is an investigative indicator, not an automatic verdict. Editors evaluate the location, source, nature, and scholarly significance of any overlap.

Editorial Assessment

  • Proper quotations, references, standard methods language, and unavoidable terminology are assessed contextually.
  • Substantial unattributed overlap, translated plagiarism, image/data reuse without permission or citation, or plagiarism of ideas may result in rejection.
  • Self-plagiarism or redundant publication is assessed based on transparency, citation of prior work, and the amount of genuinely new contribution.

After Publication

Credible allegations concerning a published article will be investigated under the journal's Research Misconduct and Corrections/Retractions policies. Outcomes may include correction, expression of concern, or retraction.

The journal does not guarantee acceptance based on a similarity score below a fixed threshold; editorial judgement and research integrity remain decisive.
