Plagiarism prevention
The SCIENCE International Journal has a strict policy against publishing plagiarized papers. The Editorial Board firmly believes that plagiarism, which involves presenting someone else's ideas, words, or creative work as one's own, is a clear violation of scientific ethics. Plagiarism can also infringe on copyright laws and may lead to legal consequences.
To ensure the integrity of published papers, all submissions to SCIENCE International Journal undergo rigorous plagiarism checks using iThenticate software.
Plagiarism encompasses the following actions:
- Directly copying or substantially paraphrasing sections of another author's work without proper attribution or acknowledgment, without clearly indicating the source or using appropriate citation methods as described in the Authors’ responsibilities section.
- Reproducing equations, figures, or tables from another paper without appropriate citation, permission from the original author, or consent from the copyright holder.
Any manuscript found to exhibit obvious signs of plagiarism will be promptly rejected. If plagiarism is detected in a paper that has already been published by the journal, it will be retracted following the procedure outlined in the Retraction policy.
