Plagiarism Policy

All manuscripts submitted to Research in Education, Technology, and Multiculture are subject to plagiarism screening using the Turnitin detection tool. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism or self-plagiarism will be immediately rejected.

The journal is committed to upholding international standards of academic integrity. Authors are expected to prepare their manuscripts with the utmost care and to avoid any form of plagiarism, whether intentional or unintentional.

Plagiarism occurs when an author uses words, ideas, data, or information from another source without proper acknowledgment. This includes:

• Using information (such as names, dates, places, statistical data, or other details) from a specific source without citation. Exceptions apply only to common knowledge (e.g., facts widely available in multiple sources, such as "Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world").

• Using ideas from another work without proper citation, even if the author develops or modifies the idea further (for example, interpreting data, applying a method, or drawing a conclusion).

• Using exact words from another author without quotation marks and proper citation. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source, quotation marks must be used along with citation.

Research in Education, Technology, and Multiculture takes plagiarism seriously. The editorial team reserves the right to reject manuscripts, retract published articles, or withdraw acceptance if plagiarism is identified at any stage of the publishing process.
