Plagiarism Screening

Journal of Emerging Engineering Technologies (JEET) is committed to maintaining academic integrity and ensuring that published articles are original and properly acknowledge the work of other researchers.

All submitted manuscripts may undergo plagiarism and text-similarity screening as part of the editorial assessment process before or during peer review.

What is Considered Plagiarism?

Plagiarism includes presenting another person's ideas, words, data, figures, results, or other intellectual work as one's own without appropriate acknowledgment.

Examples of academic and publication misconduct may include:

• Copying text or substantial portions of another work without appropriate citation or acknowledgment.
• Presenting another researcher's ideas, findings, data, or intellectual contribution without proper attribution.
• Submitting substantially similar material that has already been published elsewhere without appropriate disclosure.
• Reusing one's own previously published material without proper acknowledgment or disclosure.
• Manipulating citations or references in a manner intended to misrepresent the originality or contribution of the manuscript.

Similarity Reports

A similarity report is used as a screening and editorial assessment tool. A similarity score does not automatically establish plagiarism.

Similarity may occur for legitimate reasons, including properly cited quotations, references, commonly used technical terminology, methodological descriptions, standard expressions, and other appropriately acknowledged material.

Therefore, the editorial team evaluates the content and context of identified similarities rather than relying solely on a numerical similarity percentage.

Editorial Action

When substantial or inappropriate similarities are identified, the editorial team may request clarification, revision, additional citation, or other supporting information from the authors.

Depending on the severity and circumstances of the case, a manuscript may be returned to the authors for correction, rejected before publication, or subjected to further investigation.

If plagiarism or other forms of publication misconduct are identified after publication, JEET may take appropriate editorial action in accordance with its publication ethics policies.

Authors' Responsibility

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original and that all sources, ideas, quotations, data, figures, and other materials obtained from third parties are appropriately acknowledged and cited.

Authors should carefully review their manuscripts before submission to ensure compliance with academic and publication ethics.

By submitting a manuscript to JEET, authors acknowledge their responsibility to uphold academic integrity and to comply with the journal's publication ethics and plagiarism policies.
