Plagiarism Policy

EPSILON: Journal of Electrical Engineering, published by Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani (UNJANI), is committed to maintaining academic integrity and upholding the highest standards of publication ethics. Plagiarism in any form is considered unacceptable, as it violates the principles of originality, transparency, and responsible scholarly communication.

All manuscripts submitted to EPSILON must be original works of the authors and must not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication in another journal or publication, except where explicitly permitted by the journal's editorial policies. Authors must properly acknowledge all sources, including ideas, data, text, figures, tables, images, and other materials derived from previously published or unpublished works.

Plagiarism Screening

All submitted manuscripts are subject to plagiarism screening using appropriate similarity-checking software. The editorial team evaluates similarity reports to identify potential instances of plagiarism, text recycling, improper paraphrasing, and other forms of unattributed borrowing.
