Screening for Plagiarism
Manuscripts submitted to CoSBelife: Community Service For Better Life undergo a rigorous review process with Turnitin software, ensuring that similarity rates do not exceed 20%.
Plagiarism is defined as follows:
Direct Plagiarism: This occurs when an author reproduces another’s text verbatim without using quotation marks or appropriate citations.
Source Plagiarism: This involves utilizing another's ideas or concepts without adequate acknowledgment or citation.
Authorship Plagiarism: This is the act of presenting someone else’s work as one's own without appropriate credit.
Self-Plagiarism: Authors must avoid resubmitting identical manuscripts to different journals without making significant revisions. When citing previous work, substantial changes are required, and new submissions should present new insights with minimal overlap from previous publications.
Maintaining these standards is crucial to ensuring the integrity and originality of the research we publish.
