Plagiarism Policy

IJISEM journals strongly oppose all forms of plagiarism and unethical copying. When large parts of a manuscript are lifted from other works that have already been published, it is considered that plagiarism has taken place. Different software is used to cross-check all manuscripts submitted for publication to IJISEM Journals for plagiarism and similarity index. When plagiarism is discovered in a manuscript during the first stages of review, it is immediately rejected and is not given consideration for publication in the journal.

If a plagiarized article is discovered after publication, the Editor-in-Chief will initiate an inquiry, maybe with the assistance of a committee specifically formed for the purpose of investigating. The journal will get in touch with the author’s educational institution, college, or university as well as any relevant funding agencies if the level of plagiarism is determined to be excessive. If misconduct is found, IJISEM Journals will publish a statement that is both online and bidirectionally connected to the original article, pointing out instances of plagiarism and providing a link to the copied content. Every page in the PDF will also have the plagiarized paper marked. The paper might also be formally rejected when the degree of plagiarism has been determined.

Plagiarism in Published Manuscripts

Published manuscripts that are discovered to include copied text are removed from the journal website following a thorough examination and clearance by the journal’s chief editor. The electronic version of the plagiarized paper has an addendum with retraction notification in the specific publication, along with a “Retraction Note” and a link to the original article.

Types of Plagiarism

The following types of plagiarism are considered by Science Index Journal:

Full Plagiarism:

Full plagiarism is using someone else’s words, ideas, or grammar exactly as they appear in a previously published work. It entails presenting the exact text of another source as one’s own.

Partial Plagiarism:

Partial plagiarism occurs when an author uses passages from many sources but heavily rephrases them in their own work.

Self-Plagiarism:

Plagiarism occurs when an author utilizes their own previously published work, either in its whole or in part. When a writer submits their own previously published work to a different publication, this is known as self-plagiarism.
