Plagiarism Policy

JADHUR is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. Authors are responsible for ensuring that submitted manuscripts are original works and that all sources, ideas, data, and published materials are appropriately cited and referenced.

Plagiarism in any form — including direct copying, improper paraphrasing, duplicate publication, self-plagiarism, data fabrication, citation manipulation, and the unauthorized use of another person's work — is considered unethical and unacceptable.

  • The relevant members of the editorial team routinely screen all submitted manuscripts through Turnitin (or equivalent recognized plagiarism-detection software) for similarity index and plagiarism, prior to peer review.
  • Material quoted verbatim from the author(s)' previously published work or other sources must be placed in quotation marks and be properly cited.
  • As a general benchmark, the overall similarity index should not exceed 10%, with no single source contributing more than 3%. However, editorial decisions are based on the nature, extent, and context of any identified overlap, rather than on a numerical similarity score alone.
  • The author(s) must declare in the author agreement form that the similarity index is within the journal's requirements.
  • Where the similarity index exceeds journal requirements, the manuscript will either be rejected or left at the discretion of the editorial committee for conditional acceptance. Authors may be given a fair opportunity to address the similarity index in accordance with the journal's requirements.
  • Where concerns regarding plagiarism or research misconduct arise, JADHUR follows the principles and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) in investigating and resolving such cases, in accordance with the journal's Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.

  • Authors should discuss the impact of the generative AI tool or service on their writing, including how it may have influenced the content or style of the manuscript.
  • Authors should provide complete citations for any generative AI tools or services used, to help readers understand the tools involved and evaluate their impact on the writing.
