Plagiarism Policy

"PLAGIARISM" can occur in two forms: 1) the author intentionally copies another person's work and claims it as their own, or 2) the author copies their own previously published material either in whole or in part, without providing appropriate references – also referred to as "PLAGIARISM" self-plagiarism" or "duplicate publication."

Plagiarism before publication

Journal of Psychology (JP)  will assess each case of plagiarism on its own merits. If plagiarism is detected, whether by the editor, peer reviewers, or editorial staff at any stage before publication of the manuscript - before or after acceptance, during editing, or at the page proofing stage, we will notify the author, ask them to rewrite the text or quote the text correctly and to cite the source. If the plagiarism is extensive – that is, if at least 25% of the submission is original/duplicate – the article may be rejected and will notify the author's institution/company.

When is plagiarism checked?

I will review every manuscript submitted to the Journal of Psychology (JP). Plagiarism checking is done with Turnitin or Ithenticate Software.

How is plagiarism checking done?

Journal of Psychology (JP) uses Turnitin or Ithenticate Software to detect the presence of the same and similar text in submitted manuscripts.
