Plagiarism Policy

"The Journal of Research Review" (JRR) is committed to publishing original and ethical research. Plagiarism in any form is a serious offense that undermines the integrity of academic scholarship and is strictly prohibited by JRR. This policy outlines the JRR's definition of plagiarism, the procedures for detecting and addressing it, and the consequences of plagiarism.

Definition of Plagiarism:

Plagiarism is the act of using another person's work, ideas, or data as your own without proper attribution. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Direct copying of text: Copying and pasting text from another source without quotation marks or proper citation.
• Paraphrasing without attribution: Rephrasing text from another source without acknowledging the original author.
• Mosaic plagiarism: Combining text from multiple sources to create a new piece without proper citation.
• Self-plagiarism: Reusing significant portions of your own previously published work without proper citation.
• Fabrication of data or results: Inventing or manipulating data or results to support your research.
• Misrepresentation of authorship: Claiming authorship of work you did not contribute to.

Procedures for Detecting Plagiarism:

All manuscripts submitted to JRR will be screened for plagiarism using a plagiarism detection software like Turnitin. Additionally, reviewers may identify potential plagiarism during the peer-review process.

Consequences of Plagiarism:

If plagiarism is detected at any stage of the publication process, the following consequences may apply:

• Initial submission: The manuscript will be rejected and the authors will be informed.
• During peer review: The manuscript will be returned to the authors for revision and proper citation. If the revisions are not satisfactory, the manuscript will be rejected.
• After publication: The published article may be retracted and the authors may be subject to further disciplinary action, such as being banned from submitting to JRR in the future.

Responsibilities of Authors:

• Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality of their work and for properly citing all sources used in their manuscript.
• Authors must be familiar with this plagiarism policy and understand the consequences of violating it.
• If authors have any questions about plagiarism or proper citation, they should contact the JRR editorial team.
