IEJSE

Zero tolerance for plagiarism - originality and authenticity are non-negotiable.

Plagiarism is a serious ethical violation in scholarly publishing and is strictly condemned by the academic community worldwide. It refers to the unauthorized use or close imitation of another author's language, ideas, or work, and presenting them as one's own original contribution.

At IEJSE - International Educational Journal of Science and Engineering, we have observed instances where authors have duplicated content, data, or findings from previously published works. Such practices are unacceptable and undermine the integrity of academic research.

We urge all authors to adopt a responsible, original, and ethical approach in preparing their manuscripts. Authors are expected to ensure that their submissions are free from any form of plagiarism, whether intentional or unintentional.

Please note that IEJSE disclaims responsibility for any legal or academic consequences arising from plagiarism detected in a submitted or published manuscript. The sole responsibility for the originality and authenticity of the content lies with the author(s).

Examples of Plagiarism

Editors have a responsibility to maintain the integrity of the published literature, if required,by publishing errata or corrections identifying anything of significance, retractions, and expressions of concern as quickly as possible. Editor must comply with the policy guidelines provided by the publisher and fulfill the responsibilities bestowed upon with integrity.

Tips for Avoiding Plagiarism

Understand the citation and referencing requirements of your discipline or course.

While taking notes, cite all sources properly to avoid confusion later.

When researching online, always verify the original source of the information (many websites themselves plagiarize).

If unsure, consult your professor or editor-consider submitting a draft for feedback on citation accuracy.

When in doubt, cite! It is always better to over-cite than to risk plagiarism.
