All articles submitted to the Jurnal Rekayasa Proses are screened for plagiarism (or similarity with previously published work) using the Turnitin similarity detection software.

Our overall approach to plagiarism is a common sense one. Articles are processed under the good faith notion that they are wholly original and any reused content has been appropriately attributed. Incidents of high similarity are assessed individually, with some leeway given in the case of materials and methods (owing to the replicability rule of science, some methods can overlap with that of past research).

Egregious cases of plagiarism are dealt with immediately, and can include contacting each author's institution, as well as blacklisting them from further submissions to the journal. We define "egregious" as manuscripts that are submitted to Jurnal Rekayasa Proses with the intention of misleading the journal as to the research's provenance, present someone else's work as the authors' own, have already been published elsewhere (also known as self-plagiarism), contain significant copying of someone else's work (even with a citation given, we do not consider it acceptable to copy entire passages written by someone else), have missing or deceptive attribution, or that contain deceptive authorship (work written in tandem with someone else who is not credited, especially with the aim of violating our publication ethics).
