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 their previously published work without appropriate references. This can range from getting the same manuscript published in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with new data.

Types of Plagiarism

Complete Plagiarism: Previously published content is considered total plagiarism without changes to the text, idea, and grammar. 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: When an author reuses complete or portions of their pre-published research, it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.

Please Note:

1. Full plagiarism, partial plagiarism, and self-plagiarism are not allowed.
2. The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and words of others, this has been appropriately cited or quoted.
3. An author should not, in general, publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

The editor will run a plagiarism check using Turnitin for the submitted articles before sending them to the reviewers. We do not process any plagiarised content. The paper will be rejected if an article has over 35% plagiarism based on the check result. The journal is carried out by using Mendeley or Footnote as a Tool Reference Manager.
