Screening for Plagiarism

Screening for Plagiarism

• The Journal of Applied Research and Innovation (JARI) is a double-blind and peer-reviewed journal that takes rigorous action against plagiarism. 
• Committing the act of taking credit for someone else's work is considered a criminal offense. JARI rejects this.
• Manuscripts submitted to JARI will be screened using iThenticatesimilarity detection tool. JARI will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.
• JARI plagiarism checker examines various sources, such as books, journal articles, book chapters, websites, etc., to determine if copied content is present.
• If your work matches more than 10% of other available sources, JARI will reject it without a second thought.
• Those whose works are rejected due to plagiarism may be told why via email and can ask questions if they believe there has been a mistake.
• We inform authors who receive less than 15% similarity notification about the peer review process and what comes next, including timeframes for potential publication if accepted after reviews.
• During evaluation, reviewers will focus on assessing the manuscript's academic quality, originality, and significance, while also considering its clarity, coherence, methodology, and consistence.
• After reviewing feedback and making editorial judgments, the Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision: acceptance, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection.
• To maintain the integrity of the research, JARI strives to continually enhance plagiarism detection mechanisms and refine publication policies with input from authors and reviewers. We welcome suggestions for ongoing improvement efforts in plagiarism detection protocols and rejection guidelines.
• JARI wants to ensure that all authors are careful and comply with international standards for academic integrity, particularly on the issue of plagiarism.
• Plagiarism occurs when an author takes ideas, information, or words from another source without proper credit to the source. Even when it occurs unintentionally, plagiarism is still a serious academic violation and unacceptable in international academic publications.
• When the authors learn specific information (a name, date, place, statistical number, or other detailed information) from a specific source, a citation is required. (This is only forgiven in cases of general knowledge, where the data is readily available in more than five sources or is common knowledge)
• When authors take an idea from another author, a citation is required even if the author then develops the idea further. This might be an idea about how to interpret the data, either what methodology to use or what conclusion to draw. It might be an idea about broad developments in a field or general information. Regardless of the idea, authors should cite their sources. In cases where the author develops the idea further, it is still necessary to cite the original source of the idea. Then in a subsequent sentence, the author can explain her or his more developed idea.
• When the author takes words from another author, citation and quotation marks are required. Whenever four or more consecutive words are identical to a source that the author has read, the author must use quotation marks to denote the use of another author's original words; just a citation is no longer enough.
• JARI takes academic integrity very seriously, and the editors reserve the right to withdraw acceptance from a paper found to violate any of the standards set out above. For further information, potential authors can contact the editorial office at info@jari.hru.edu.kh.
