Screening for Plagiarism Policy

To check for possible plagiarism, the application Turnitin is used.

The article must have a plagiarism level below 20%.

Plagiarism includes:

• Word-for-word plagiarism: The author uses the exact words of others without citing the source.

• Plagiarism of ideas: The author uses others' ideas without giving proper recognition (without explicitly mentioning the source).

• Plagiarism of authorship: The author is credited as the author of someone else’s work.

• Self-plagiarism: This includes publishing the same article in more than one publication or recycling previous papers. In self-plagiarism, it is important that when reusing one’s own work, the new work must have significant changes. The old work should only form a small part of the new work so that readers receive genuinely new content rather than just a rehash of the old paper.
