Ibadah: Journal of Community Empowerment and Service adheres to international practices of preventing plagiarism. Since the second edition, Atta'dib Journal has used a cross-check system for plagiarism detection (TURNITIN). Thus, all authors who submit their manuscripts to the Journal Atta'dib must ensure that their academic work respects the copyright of other scholars and avoids plagiarism. Once the manuscript is submitted to Jurnal Ibadah, our editorial team will assign a team of anti-plagiarism experts to review it using various tools. For similarity percentages of 20–25%, the manuscript will be returned to the author(s) for clarification and necessary revisions before peer review. However, if the similarity exceeds 25%, the manuscript will be rejected outright.

There are several indicators of plagiarism that all authors must be aware of:

1. The most easily identifiable plagiarism is that of repeated content when an author copies another author's work by reciting words, sentences, or paragraphs without citing sources. Our plagiarism checker software can easily identify this plagiarism model.
2. The second type of plagiarism occurs when an author reproduces a substantial part of another writer's work, without citing them. The term "reproducing substance" here can be understood as copying another's ideas, in both quantity and quality, potentially eliminating the original author's rights in intellectual property.
3. The third type of plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, words, or phrases in paraphrased sentences or paragraphs, without citing the source. This type of plagiarism often cannot be checked through plagiarism software, as it is idea-based. Yet this practice becomes unethical when the author fails to cite or acknowledge the original author.
