Screening for Plagiarism

To check the possibility of plagiarism, using the application TURNITIN. The article must be below 20% of plagiarism. Plagiarism includes:

  1. Word for word Plagiarism. The author uses the words of other authors (exactly) without mentioning the source.
  2. Plagiarism over the source. The author uses the idea of others without giving enough recognition (without mentioning the source expressly).
  3. Plagiarism of Authorship. The author acknowledged as the author of the paperwork of others.
  4. Self Plagiarism. Included in this type are authors who publish one article in more than one editor of the publication, and recycle papers. What is important in self-plagiarism is that when taking his own works, the creation of new works produced must have a meaningful change. This means that the old works are a small part of the new works produced. So readers will get new stuff, which is really the author’s work poured into the paper using the old paper.
