JUSS (Jurnal Sosial Soedirman) put a great concern on plagiarism. The journal recognizes that plagiarism is unacceptable and has established the following policy: Following the guidance of the plagiarism policy developed by the University of New South Wales, Australia, 2016, below are some practices considered plagiarism:

1. Using the same or similar words to the original text or idea without acknowledging the source or using quotation marks. This includes copying materials, ideas, or concepts from a book, article, report, or other written document, presentation, composition, artwork, design, drawing, circuitry, computer program or software, website, internet, other electronic resource, or another person's assignment, without appropriate acknowledgment.
2. Inappropriate paraphrasing. This refers to changing a few words and phrases while mostly retaining the original structure and/or progression of ideas of the original and information without acknowledgment.
3. Inappropriate citation. Citing sources that have not been read without acknowledging the 'secondary' source from which knowledge of them has been obtained.
4. Self-plagiarism. It occurs when an author republishes their own previously written work and presents it as new findings without referencing the earlier work, either in its entirety or partially. 

Papers submitted to JUSS (Jurnal Sosial Soedirman) have been screened for plagiarism using Turnitin (www.turnitin.com) since June 2024. JUSS (Jurnal Sosial Soedirman) will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.
