Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying someone else’s initial ideas, processes, results or words without explicit acknowledgment of the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author utilizes a large part of his/her own previously published work without appropriate references. It can range from getting the same manuscript published in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with new data.

Types of Plagiarism

Full Plagiarism: Previously published content without changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered full plagiarism. It involves presenting exact text from a source as one’s own.

Partial Plagiarism: If the content is a mixture of multiple sources, where the author has extensively rephrased text, it is known as partial plagiarism.

Self-Plagiarism: If the author reuses complete or portions of their pre-published research, it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.

Working Process:

1. Editorial Team checking manuscript on offline and online database manually (checking proper citation and quotation);
2. Editorial Team checking manuscript by using Turnitin app. If it is found plagiarism indication (more than 20%), the board will reject the manuscript immediately.
