Jurnal Ekonomi, Bisnis & Entrepreneurship (e-Journal)

1. Originality and Anti-Plagiarism Guidelines The Jurnal Ekonomi, Bisnis & Entrepreneurship (e-Journal) mandates that all submitted manuscripts be entirely original creations. Any incorporation of external ideas, empirical data, text, or prior works must be meticulously cited and appropriately quoted in strict alignment with recognized academic conventions. The journal categorically condemns all manifestations of plagiarism—encompassing self-plagiarism, verbatim reproduction without quotation marks, and uncredited paraphrasing—as severe violations of publication ethics that are fundamentally unacceptable.

2. Similarity Screening Protocols To safeguard the integrity of the academic literature, all submissions to the Jurnal Ekonomi, Bisnis & Entrepreneurship (e-Journal) undergo compulsory plagiarism evaluations utilizing Turnitin software.

• Maximum Similarity Threshold: The editorial board enforces a strict upper limit for similarity, accepting a maximum similarity index of 20%.

• Screening Timeline: The definitive similarity assessment is officially executed on the final, accepted manuscript just prior to formal publication, rather than on the initial draft. Nevertheless, the editorial team retains the prerogative to initiate preliminary plagiarism checks at any phase of the peer-review or evaluation process.

• Consequences of Non-Compliance: Submissions that surpass the permissible 20% threshold, or exhibit clear evidence of unattributed content reuse, will be immediately returned to the authors for substantial revision or face outright rejection at the discretion of the Editorial Board.

3. Language Quality and Academic Proofreading All manuscripts submitted to the Jurnal Ekonomi, Bisnis & Entrepreneurship (e-Journal) are expected to demonstrate exemplary standards of academic English. Linguistic clarity, conciseness, and structural precision are imperative to preserve the scholarly value and overall readability of the research. Authors are strongly urged to subject their manuscripts to rigorous proofreading and comprehensive grammar editing prior to initial submission. To substantiate the linguistic quality of their work, authors are welcome to attach a formal language editing certificate or an independent grammar check report alongside their manuscript. Submissions plagued by substandard linguistic expression, pervasive grammatical flaws, or compromised readability will be promptly returned to the authors for necessary linguistic refinement before they are permitted to enter the formal peer-review pipeline or proceed toward publication.
