Plagiarism Policy

Journal of Management and Accounting Cakrawarti (JMAC) upholds strict standards of academic integrity and maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism and unethical research practices.
All submitted manuscripts are screened using Turnitin plagiarism detection software prior to the peer review process. The acceptable similarity index must not exceed 25%, excluding references, bibliography, and properly quoted text.
Similarity arising from standard methodological descriptions, commonly used theoretical frameworks, definitions, or properly cited material will be evaluated contextually by the editor. However, substantial similarity in the results, analysis, discussion, or conclusions will not be tolerated.
Manuscripts exceeding the acceptable threshold may be:
• Returned to the author for revision, or
• Rejected if significant plagiarism is identified.
JMAC does not tolerate:
• Direct plagiarism
• Self-plagiarism without proper disclosure
• Data fabrication or falsification
• Improper citation and referencing
If plagiarism or ethical misconduct is identified after publication, the journal reserves the right to retract the article in accordance with international publication ethics standards.
Authors are solely responsible for ensuring the originality and authenticity of their submitted work.
