Plagiarisme Screening Policy
Plagiarism occurs when an author uses another's work—typically that of a different author—without permission, proper credit, or acknowledgment. Plagiarism can take various forms, ranging from literal copying to paraphrasing someone else's work.
Literal Copying involves reproducing a work, in whole or in part, word for word, without permission or proper acknowledgment of the original source. This form of plagiarism is straightforward and easy to detect by comparing the works.
Substantial Copying refers to reproducing a significant portion of a work without permission or acknowledgment of the original source. When determining whether the copying is “substantial,” both the quantity and quality of the copied content are considered. Quality pertains to the relative value of the copied text in relation to the overall work. If the core essence of a work is reproduced, even if only a small part of the original work is used, plagiarism may have occurred.
Paraphrasing occurs when an author rewords content from another source without copying it verbatim or substantially. Although this type of plagiarism is harder to detect, it is still considered unethical.
The journal will promptly investigate and reject any manuscripts or articles found to involve plagiarism or self-plagiarism. Investigations into suspected plagiarism will follow the guidelines set by COPE:
