SCREENING FOR PLAGIARISM

To check the possibility of plagiarism, the journal uses the application Turnitin. The article must be below 20% plagiarism.

 Plagiarism includes:

  • Word for word Plagiarism. The author uses the words of other authors (exactly) without mentioning the source.
  • Plagiarism over the source. The author uses the idea of others without giving enough recognition (without mentioning the source expressly).
  • Plagiarism of Authorship. The author is acknowledged as the author of the paperwork of others.
  • Self Plagiarism. Included in this type are authors who publish one article in more than one publication outlet, and who recycle their own paper(s). What matters in self-plagiarism is that when reusing one's own work, the new work produced must contain a meaningful change — the old work should form only a small part of the new work. This means readers will get genuinely new material, rather than the author simply pouring the old paper onto new pages.
