Screening for Plagiarism
Manuscripts submitted to the Community Research and Application Journal (CRAJ) undergo thorough evaluation with Turnitin software, which allows for a maximum similarity threshold of 20%.
Plagiarism can be categorized as follows:
Direct Plagiarism:
This occurs when an author replicates another individual's text verbatim without using quotation marks or proper citation.
Source Plagiarism:
This involves utilizing someone else's ideas or concepts without appropriately acknowledging or citing the original source.
Authorship Plagiarism:
This is when an author presents another person's work as their own without giving proper credit.
Self-Plagiarism:
Authors must refrain from submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals without substantial revisions. When referencing their previous work, authors are required to make significant updates in the new manuscript. The revised submission should only include a minimal amount of content from the earlier version and must offer new perspectives rather than simply repeating previous material.
Adhering to these standards is crucial to maintaining the research's integrity and originality in our journal.
