PLAGIARISME CHECK

Plagiarism is unacceptable for all authors and therefore the journal’s editorial board has established a policy that certain disciplinary actions may be taken when plagiarism has been successfully identified by plagiarism checking software in an article submitted for publication. We use Turnitin as our plagiarism checking software.

“Plagiarism is copying another person’s text or ideas and passing off the copied material as your own work. You must both describe (i.e., separate and identify) the copied text from your own work and give credit to (i.e., cite the source) the source of the copied text to avoid accusations of plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered a form of fraud and has potentially serious consequences including loss of employment, reputation, and reduction of grades or failure in a course.”
