Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, is strictly prohibited in JURNAL BERLIAN CARE (Berlian Dignity Community Action for Responsive Empowerment). Authors must ensure that submitted manuscripts are original works. Any use of previously published material, including ideas, data, or quotations, must be properly cited and acknowledged.

Manuscripts containing substantially similar research or activities must not be submitted to more than one journal at the same time. Such practices are considered unethical and will not be tolerated.

Authors must also provide proper acknowledgment of all sources used. Accurate citation of relevant references is essential in maintaining academic integrity.

Plagiarism Screening Procedure
All submitted manuscripts will undergo plagiarism screening as part of the editorial process, with the following stages:

• Initial screening by the Editorial Team, conducted manually either offline or through online databases to ensure proper citation and referencing.
• Further screening using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin. If the similarity index exceeds 25%, the manuscript will be automatically rejected due to suspected plagiarism.
