Screening for Plagiarism Policy

JIMR: Journal of Interdisciplinary Management Research is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and originality. To ensure this, all submitted manuscripts undergo a thorough plagiarism screening process.

1. Plagiarism Detection

• All submissions are checked using reliable plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin, iThenticate, or similar tools) to identify any overlapping text with previously published works.

• Manuscripts with a similarity index exceeding 20% (excluding references, quotations, and common phrases) may be subject to rejection or require revision.

2. Definition of Plagiarism

• Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

  • Copying text or ideas from other works without proper citation

  • Self-plagiarism or duplicate publication of the author’s own previous work without disclosure

  • Fabrication or falsification of data

3. Actions on Plagiarism Cases

• If plagiarism is detected before publication, the manuscript will be rejected or returned to the author for revision.

• If plagiarism is identified after publication, the journal reserves the right to issue corrections, retractions, or notify relevant institutions.

• Severe cases of ethical violations may lead to a ban on future submissions from the authors involved.

4. Author Responsibility

• Authors must ensure that their manuscripts are original and properly cite all sources.

• Authors are required to disclose any overlapping or related work when submitting their manuscript.
