Mukhtasab: Journal of Economics and Islamic Business

Screening and Threshold

Mukhtasab: Journal of Economics and Islamic Business upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and strictly prohibits all forms of plagiarism. Prior to the peer review process, all submissions are screened using plagiarism detection software (such as Turnitin or similar tools) to identify overlapping or similar text. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 30% (excluding references, quotations, and standard methodological phrases) will be returned to the author for revision or may be rejected outright depending on the severity of duplication.

Forms of Plagiarism

The editorial board strictly monitors and evaluates submissions against these categorized forms of academic misconduct:

01	Direct Plagiarism: Copying text, ideas, or research data from other sources directly without providing proper, explicit citation or attribution.
02	Substantial Paraphrasing: Paraphrasing or rearranging large portions of another author's work without clear acknowledgment or appropriate references.
03	Identity Theft: Submitting another person’s scientific work, layout, or manuscript, either in whole or in part, as one’s own intellectual creation.
04	Self-Plagiarism: Recycling or duplicate submission of one’s own previously published work without explicit citation or prior publisher permission.

If plagiarism is detected at any stage, the journal will follow COPE guidelines, which may include immediate rejection, retraction, and formal notification to the author's institution.
