Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

• Copying text, figures, tables, or ideas without proper citation.
• Presenting another person's work as one's own.
• Using substantial portions of previously published work without appropriate acknowledgment.
• Improper paraphrasing that closely resembles the original source.
• Self-plagiarism or duplicate publication without disclosure.

Every submitted manuscript is screened using plagiarism detection software before editorial evaluation.

• Primary screening is conducted using Turnitin or equivalent plagiarism detection software.
• Editors may conduct additional manual evaluations when necessary.
• Similarity reports are interpreted carefully; similarity percentages alone do not determine plagiarism.

Manuscripts exceeding these thresholds may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected at the discretion of the Editorial Office.

• Low similarity resulting from references, quotations, or common terminology will be evaluated appropriately.
• Minor overlap may require revision before peer review.
• Significant plagiarism will result in immediate rejection.
• Serious ethical violations may be reported to the author's institution when necessary.

Authors should avoid excessive reuse of their previously published work. Any overlap with earlier publications must be properly cited and clearly explained during submission.

• Ensure that the submitted manuscript is original.
• Properly cite all sources.
• Obtain permission for copyrighted materials when required.
• Submit only manuscripts that comply with the journal's ethical standards.

If plagiarism is identified before publication, the manuscript will be rejected or returned for correction. If plagiarism is discovered after publication, the journal may take one or more of the following actions:

• Publish a correction, issue an Expression of Concern, or retract the article.
• Notify the author's institution.
• Restrict future submissions from the responsible author(s).

By submitting a manuscript to Didanesia: Journal of Education, authors confirm that the manuscript is original, free from plagiarism, and complies with this Plagiarism Policy. The Editorial Office reserves the right to reject any submission that violates these principles.
