Plagiarism and Retraction

Plagiarism screening will be conducted by the editors of JSA (Jurnal  Sosiologi Andalas) twice. First before the review and secondly after the review prior to publication using turnitin Similarity Check. Article manuscripts must obtain a similarity index of less than 25%. We will return the manuscripts to authors should the similarity index is more than 25%. Authors rewrite the manuscripts to meet our requirement  and resubmit the corected manuscripts. The resubmitted manuscripts will go into the new screening process, and if for any reasons the similarity index is still above 25%, the editors will reject the manuscripts.
