Sahaja: Journal Sharia and Humanities  wants to ensure that all authors exercise due care and adhere to international standards for academic integrity, particularly regarding plagiarism.

Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without properly crediting the source. Even if unintentional, plagiarism remains a serious academic offense and is unacceptable in international academic publications.

When authors know specific information (names, dates, places, statistical numbers, or other details) from a specific source, citation is required. (This is only permissible in cases of common knowledge, where the data is available from more than five sources or is common knowledge, for example, the fact that Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world.)

When authors borrow ideas from other authors, citations are still required even if the authors then develop those ideas further. This could be ideas about how to interpret data, what methodology to use, or what conclusions to draw. It could be ideas about broad developments in a field or general information. Whatever the idea, the authors must cite their sources. In cases where the authors develop an idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source of the idea, and then in the following sentence, the authors can explain their more developed idea.

When authors take the words of another author, citations and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to indicate the use of the other author's original words; a quotation alone is no longer sufficient.

Sahaja: Journal Sharia and Humanities  upholds academic integrity, and the editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that violate the standards set out above. For further information, prospective authors can contact the editorial office at sahaja@darunnajah.ac.id
