Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the wrongful appropriation and stealing the work of another author's: language, opinions, concepts, or terminologies and representing them as one's own original work.

Categories of Plagiarism

The ensuing kinds of plagiarism are considered:

Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses whole or portions of their pre-published research, then it is identified as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own formerly published work in a new Journal.

Partial Plagiarism: If content is a combination from several different sources, where the author has widely rearticulated text, then it is identified as partial plagiarism.

Full Plagiarism: Formerly published content deprived of any changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered as full plagiarism. It encompasses presenting particular text from a source as one’s own work.

Plagiarism Check: All the manuscripts submitted for publication are cross-checked for plagiarism before the review process.
