Plagiatism & AI Policy
Plagiarism
According to the Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 17 in the year of 2010 states that plagiarism is an act of intentionally or unintentionally obtaining credit or grade for a scientific work, by citing part or all of the scientific work and/or work of another party, without stating the source explicitly. appropriate and adequate. For this reason, it is deemed necessary to prevent plagiarism. Henceforth, the manuscript submitted to Mediastima will be screened for similarity check using Plagiarism Check. Manuscript found to contain a similarity index percentage higher than 25% (including self-plagiarism) will be rejected.
Duplicate and Redundant Publications
The accepted manuscript has not been published or is being reviewed in other journals. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously or under review in other journals is not denied. If the manuscript is under review, the author must cite a different previous article. Excessive publication, division of research results into several articles (salami slicing) are unacceptable.
AI Policy
The use of AI (Artificial intelligence) technology is a new challenge to the writing and publication of all scientific works at IBI Kosgoro 1957. It is necessary to do ethical regulation of the use of AI at IBI Kosgoro 1957 which refers to COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) at and on Publication Ethics) at https://publicationethics.org/cope-position-statements/ai-author and HR Bureau policy of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, which are as follows:
1. Authors are not allowed to include AI as author in all scientific works.
2. Authors are not permissible for the author to write the first research draft using an AI, as it will closes the originality of the research idea.
3. Authors are not allowed to write cover letters when submitting papers to journals.
4. AI can be used only to find ideas, problems, or research gaps for the author.
5. AI can be used to create an outline/looking for research outlines and writing frameworks for writers.
6. AI can be used to help understand context of narratives and translations for writers.
7. AI can be used to edit writing for writer.
8. AI can be used by writers to find citations and references but needs validation from the supervisor/reviewer/editor.
9. Editors in conducting the editing process and review process can use AI but the final result for an article, such as such as acceptance or rejection, the decision must directly involve the editor.
10.Publishers journal publishers will ensure that all parties (authors, editors and reviewers) who using AI technology have valid scientific and technical competencies to be able to trust the final result.
11.Publishers will be transparent about publishing process flow that involves AI decision-making. Any AI-powered automation must be clearly explained to all relevant stakeholders in the peer review process, reviewers, or editors-with clarification on how the algorithm arrived at its results or conclusions.
