Plagiarism Policy

BELGI: Journal of Islamic Business and Decision Sciences maintains a strict policy against plagiarism and unethical publication practices. All manuscripts submitted to the journal are screened for plagiarism using Turnitin software before entering the peer review process.

Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism, including but not limited to direct copying, substantial paraphrasing, or unattributed use of others’ ideas, will be immediately rejected. In cases where plagiarism is identified after publication, the article will be retracted in accordance with the journal’s publication ethics policy and COPE guidelines.

The journal accepts a similarity index of no more than 20% (excluding references, quotations, and commonly used phrases). Authors are responsible for ensuring that their work is entirely original and that all sources are properly cited. Any attempt at academic dishonesty will result in the rejection of the submission and may lead to further actions as deemed appropriate by the editorial board.
