The Soedirman Economics Education Journal (SEEJ) upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and is committed to ensuring the originality of all published works. As part of this commitment, SEEJ employs rigorous plagiarism screening procedures to maintain the quality and credibility of our publications.

Plagiarism Screening Process

1. Initial Submission Check: All manuscripts submitted to SEEJ are subjected to an initial screening using advanced plagiarism detection software. This process identifies any similarities or overlaps with existing published works.

2. Editorial Review: The editorial team carefully reviews the results from the plagiarism detection software. If potential plagiarism is identified, the manuscript is further evaluated to determine the extent and nature of the overlap.

3. Author Notification and Response: In cases where significant plagiarism is detected, authors will be notified and given an opportunity to address the concerns. Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts to ensure originality and proper citation of sources.

4. Rejection and Resubmission: Manuscripts found to contain unacceptable levels of plagiarism will be rejected. Authors are encouraged to resubmit their work only after making substantial revisions to eliminate any instances of plagiarism.
