Plagiarism Policy

TANQIH: Journal of Islamic Law is committed to preventing plagiarism and maintaining the integrity of the academic record.

Submitted manuscripts may undergo similarity or plagiarism screening during the editorial process.

Definition of Plagiarism & Misconduct

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

• Presenting another person's words or ideas without appropriate acknowledgment;
• Substantial unattributed copying;
• Inappropriate paraphrasing;
• Duplicate publication;
• Substantial self-plagiarism; and
• Presenting another person's intellectual work as one's own.

Contextual Similarity Evaluation

Similarity reports are evaluated contextually. A similarity percentage alone does not automatically establish plagiarism because legitimate quotations, references, technical terminology, legal expressions, and other standard language may contribute to similarity results.

Handling Misconduct

Where substantial plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct are identified during the review process, the manuscript may be rejected.

If misconduct is discovered after publication, the journal may take appropriate corrective action, including issuing a correction, expression of concern, or retraction.

Note for Authors: Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts comply with all academic integrity requirements before submission.
