Plagiarism is a serious ethical violation that undermines the integrity of scholarly research and erodes public trust in academic institutions. The International Academic Research Consortium is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical conduct. Our plagiarism policy aims to prevent and address instances of plagiarism effectively. The Journal ensures the originality and authenticity of the research published here. Below, we discuss the key components of our plagiarism policy in a detailed manner:

 

Definition of Plagiarism:

Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else's work, ideas, or words as one's own without proper attribution or acknowledgment. This includes verbatim copying of text, paraphrasing without citation, and even self-plagiarism. This journal stands against reusing any or even one's own previously published work without proper citation. 

 

Plagiarism Detection:

All submitted manuscripts undergo rigorous plagiarism screening using advanced plagiarism detection software. (https://in.turnitin.com/)

The plagiarism detection process compares the submitted manuscript against a vast database of scholarly literature, websites, and other sources to identify instances of textual similarity.

 

Authors are themselves responsible for ensuring the originality and authenticity of their work before submission.

 

Threshold for Plagiarism:

   - The International Academic Research Consortium defines plagiarism as the presence of significant textual similarity exceeding a predetermined threshold.

   - While some degree of textual overlap may occur inadvertently, manuscripts with substantial plagiarized content are subject to rejection or retraction.

 

Consequences of Plagiarism:

Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism exceeding the predetermined threshold are immediately rejected. Those authors may be prohibited from submitting future manuscripts to the journal for a specified period as a consequence of plagiarism.

 

Authors of plagiarized manuscripts are notified of the plagiarism findings and the reasons for rejection. 

Self-Plagiarism Policy:

  • Authors are expected to adhere to ethical guidelines regarding self-plagiarism, also known as text recycling or duplicate publication.
  • Authors must disclose any prior publications or overlapping content in their manuscript and properly cite their own previous work.
  • Reproducing significant portions of one's own previously published work without proper citation is considered self-plagiarism and is subject to the same consequences as external plagiarism.

 

Prevention and Awareness and appeals:

  • We educate authors, reviewers, and editorial staff about the importance of academic integrity and ethical publishing practices.
  • We equip our authors with guidance regarding proper citation and referencing practices in order to avoid unintentional plagiarism.
  • We provide resources and tools to help authors understand and prevent plagiarism, including plagiarism detection software and citation management tools.
  • Authors have the right to appeal decisions related to plagiarism findings.
  • Appeals must be submitted in writing to the editorial office, accompanied by a detailed explanation and evidence refuting the plagiarism allegations.
  • Appeals are reviewed by the editorial board, and decisions are made based on the merits of the case while adhering to journal policies.
