Plagiarism Screening

The Editorial Board of LEX SERMO: Jurnal Ilmu Hukum dan Pemerintahan is deeply committed to maintaining academic integrity. We implement a rigorous plagiarism screening policy to ensure the originality of every manuscript published.

• Screening Process: All submitted manuscripts will be screened for similarity using Turnitin or iThenticate software prior to the peer-review process.

• Similarity Threshold: Our journal sets a maximum allowable similarity index of 40%.

• Action on Violations: If a manuscript is found to exceed this threshold or shows significant indications of plagiarism (including self-plagiarism), the Editorial Board reserves the right to reject the submission or request a comprehensive revision from the author(s) before further processing.
