The Widya Bhumi journal wishes to ensure that all authors are cautious and adhere to international standards for academic integrity, particularly in matters of plagiarism. The Widya Bhumi Journal strongly condemns and discourages plagiarism.

This application is used to detect submissions that overlap with previously published and submitted manuscripts. Widya Bhumi Journal will immediately reject papers that contain plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Members of the editorial team review all submissions for similarities or plagiarism before sending them to reviewers.

Plagiarism is defined as presenting another person's thoughts or words as your own without permission, credit, or acknowledgment, or failing to properly cite a source. Plagiarism can take many forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing someone else's work. We believe that plagiarism is a crime. Even if it is unintentional, plagiarism is a serious academic offense that will not be tolerated in international academic publications. When authors learn specific information (names, dates, places, statistical numbers, or other detailed information) from specific sources, citations are required (this is only excused in cases of common knowledge, where data is available in more than five sources or common knowledge). So you can tell if an author has plagiarized,

• An author can literally copy the work of another author - by copying word for word, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledging or citing the original source. This practice can be identified by comparing original sources with manuscripts/works suspected of plagiarism.
• Substantial copying is defined as one author reproducing a substantial portion of another author's work without permission, acknowledgment, or citation. The term "substantial" can be understood in terms of both quality and quantity, and it is frequently used in the context of intellectual property. The relative value of the text being copied in relation to the work as a whole is referred to as quality.
• Paraphrasing is the process of taking ideas, words, or phrases from other sources and arranging them into new sentences in writing. This practice becomes unethical when the author fails to properly quote or acknowledge the original work/author. This type of plagiarism is more difficult to detect.
