1. Mandatory Originality
All manuscripts submitted to Panrita Journal of Transdisciplinary Research (PJTR) must be entirely original works created by the authors.

2. Plagiarism Definition
Plagiarism in all its forms—including presenting another person’s work as one’s own, copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another work without proper attribution, or claiming results from research conducted by others—is considered unethical publishing behavior and is strictly unacceptable.

3. Screening Process
Every submitted manuscript will undergo plagiarism screening using specialized software such as Turnitin or iThenticate before entering the peer-review process.

4. Similarity Threshold
The journal maintains a strict maximum similarity index of 20% for the overall manuscript.

5. Individual Source Limit
In addition to the overall similarity index, the similarity from any single source must not exceed 3%, in order to prevent excessive paraphrasing or copying from one particular source.

6. Policy for High Similarity
If the similarity index exceeds the permitted threshold, the manuscript may be returned to the author for revision or rejected outright depending on the severity of the detected plagiarism.

7. Author Responsibility
Authors must ensure that all works or words from other sources are properly cited or quoted in accordance with the APA 7th Edition citation style.

8. Multiple Submission Ban
Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time is considered unethical publishing behavior and constitutes a violation of this policy.

9. Detection After Publication
If plagiarism is discovered after an article has been published, the journal, in coordination with Asosiasi Peneliti Panrita Scholar Indonesia, reserves the right to issue a formal correction or retract the article.
