At Berkala Ilmiah Biologi, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity. To ensure the originality and authenticity of every manuscript, the editorial office systematically checks each submission for plagiarism using specialized plagiarism detection software.

By submitting your manuscript to this journal, you acknowledge and agree that your manuscript will be screened for potential plagiarism or similarity with previously published works, including other manuscripts, journal articles, and books. This is part of our commitment to upholding ethical publishing practices and ensuring the credibility of all research published in our journal.

The journal uses iThenticate, a widely recognized plagiarism detection tool, to assess the similarity index of each manuscript. Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 20% will be subject to further review. If the similarity is found to be excessive, the manuscript may be rejected or returned for revision, as it may not meet the journal’s standards for originality.

We strongly encourage authors to review their work for potential plagiarism or inadvertent similarities before submission. Researchers and authors can use iThenticate or other plagiarism-checking tools to ensure the originality of their work.
